Note
The MSM (multishelf management) ports are present on the ECU module. The MSM ports located on the left
side of the ECU module correspond to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card in Slot 1, and the MSM ports located
on the right side correspond to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card in Slot 8. For more information about the
ECU module and MSM ports, see the
Procedure
Step 1
Using a cross-over (CAT-5) LAN cable:
a) Plug one connector into the MSM port that corresponds to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card in Slot 1 of
the ONS 15454 M6 shelf used as the node controller.
b) Plug the other connector into the MSM port that corresponds to the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE card in Slot
1 of the ONS 15454 M6 shelf used as subtending shelf.
Note
Step 2
Using a cross-over (CAT-5) LAN cable:
a) Plug one connector to any one of the remaining MSM ports of the ONS 15454 M6 SSCs in the first layer.
b) Plug the other connector to any one of the MSM ports of the ONS 15454 M6 SSCs in the next layer.
c) Repeat a and b to connect the remaining MSM ports of the ONS 15454 M6 SSCs.
After connecting all the SSCs as per Step 2, connect the last 15454 M6 SSC to the 15454 M6 node
controller to complete the ring.

When connecting two shelves using the cross-over cables, it is possible to have shelves not
having controller cards in same slots. Use corresponding MSM ports according to the controller
card slots.
You can connect up to a maximum of 9 SSCs in the ring topology.
