CTX2500 Card Description
The CTX2500 card, for use with the ONS 15310-MA, is a fully nonblocking cross-connect card that
operates in either a simplex or duplex (redundant) configuration. It performs system initialization,
provisioning, alarm reporting, maintenance, diagnostics, IP address detection/resolution, SONET DCC
termination, system fault detection, and cross-connect maintenance and management for the
ONS 15310-MA. The card also provides the circuitry for the OC-3/OC-12/OC-48 interfaces, and
ensures that the system maintains timing with SMC stability.
Caution If the system loses power or the CTX2500 card is reset, you must reset the ONS 15310-MA clock unless
the node has been previously provisioned to use Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to update the
clock over the LAN.

CTX2500 Card Description
The CTX2500 card provides 576 x 576 STS-1 level cross-connections and 2688 x 2688 VT1.5s.
The CTX2500 card can be installed in Slot 3 or 4. Protection switches between the active and standby
CTX 2500 are hitless (less than a 50-ms impact to any traffic).
The CTX2500 supports errorless side switches (switching from one CTX2500 on one side of the shelf
to the other CTX2500 on the other side of the shelf) when the switch is initiated through software or is
caused by a software upgrade.
There are two PPM (SFP) slots on the CTX2500 faceplate. Each slot can contain a one-port PPM.
Cisco-qualified SFPs can be single-rate (OC-3, OC-12, or OC-48) or multirate (OC-3/OC-12).
Single-rate PPMs are autoprovisioned when they are installed, but multirate PPMs must be provisioned.
This behavior can be controlled by NE defaults.

CTX2500 Card Specifications
CTX2500 Card-Level Indicators
The CTX card has four card-level LEDs, described in Table 1.
CTX2500 Port-Level Indicators
Two bicolor LEDs show the status per port (Ports 1 and 2). The port LED is green if the port is available
to carry traffic and is provisioned as in-service. The port LED is red if there is a signal failure or loss of
signal on the port.

Table 1 CTX2500 Card-Level Indicators
Card-Level LEDs Description
FAIL LED (Red) The red FAIL LED indicates that the card processor is not ready or that a
catastrophic software failure occurred on the card. As part of the boot
sequence, the FAIL LED turns on and flashes until the software deems the
card operational.
ACT/STBY LED
(Green/Amber) The ACT/STBY LED is green if the card is the active CTX2500 card. It is amber if the card is the standby card.
SYNC LED
(Green/Amber) The SYNC LED is green if the CTX2500 card detects both a primary and secondary clock reference. It is amber if the card detects only a single clock
reference.

Install the CTX2500 Cards
Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
Statement 1029
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to
the card. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock
yourself. Statement 94
Warning Invisible laser radiation could be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector.
Do not stare into the beam directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain
optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100
mm could pose an eye hazard. Statement 1056
Warning Class I (CDRH) and Class 1M (IEC) laser products. Statement 1055
Warning Use of controls, adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified may result in
hazardous radiation exposure. Statement 1057
Caution Do not install a CTX2500 card in an ONS 15310-MA if the ambient temperature exceeds 149 degrees F
(65 degrees C).
Caution Always use the supplied ESD wristband when working with a powered ONS 15310-MA. Plug the
wristband cable into either of the ESD jacks, on the far left and right faceplates in the shelf.

Install the CTX2500 Cards
Note If protective clips are installed on the backplane connectors of the cards, remove the clips before
installing the cards.
Step 1 Install a CTX2500 card in Slot 3 or 4 (Figure 2):
a. Open the card ejector.
b. Use the ejector at the top of the card and firmly slide the card along the guide rails until the card
plugs into the receptacle at the back of the slot.
c. Verify that the card is inserted correctly and close the ejector on the card.
Note The CTX2500 cards are hot-pluggable, so they can be inserted or removed without turning off
the power to the ONS 15310-MA.
Figure 2 Installing a CTX2500 Card in ONS 15310-MA
Step 2 Verify the CTX2500 card LED activity:
a. The red FAIL LED turns on for 30 to 45 seconds. It then turns off for 5 seconds, and turns back on
for 30 seconds.
b. The red FAIL LED blinks for 20 seconds, and turns off for 5 seconds.
c. All LEDs turn on for 2 seconds.

TAC Case Priority Definitions
To ensure that all cases are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established case priority definitions.
Priority 1 (P1)—Your network is “down” or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You
and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Priority 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your
business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco
will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Priority 3 (P3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations
remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service
to satisfactory levels.
Priority 4 (P4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or
configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
