12.3 System Reset

You can reset the ONS 15327 XTC card using the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) software, or by
physically reseating the XTC card (card pull). A software reset reboots the XTC and reloads the
operating system and the application software. Additionally, a card pull reset temporarily removes power
from the XTC and clears all buffer memory.
You can apply a software reset to either an active or standby XTC without affecting traffic, but you
should only perform a card pull on a standby XTC. If you need to perform a card pull on an active XTC,
put the XTC into standby mode first by performing a software reset on the card.
