9.3.4 Ethernet Manual Cross-Connects

ONS 15454s require end-to-end CTC visibility between nodes for normal provisioning of Ethernet
circuits. When other vendors' equipment sits between ONS 15454s, OSI/TARP- based equipment does
not allow tunneling of the ONS 15454 TCP/IP-based DCC. To circumvent this lack of continuous DCC,
the Ethernet circuit must be manually cross connected to an STS channel riding through the non-ONS
network. This allows an Ethernet circuit to run from ONS node to ONS node utilizing the non-ONS
network.
Provisioning manual cross-connects for Multicard Etherswitch circuits is a separate procedure from
