Chapter 3 Card Reference Electrical Card Protection 3.2.1 1:0 Protection The term 1:0 protection is sometimes used for an unprotected configuration. 3.2.2 1:1 Protection In 1:1 protection, a working card is paired with a protect card of the same type. If the working card fails, the traffic from the working card switches to the protect card. When the failure on the working card is resolved, traffic automatically reverts to the working card.
Chapter 3 Card Reference Electrical Card Protection The physical E-1 or DS-3 ports on the ONS 15454 SDH FMEC cards use the working card until the working card fails. When the node detects this failure, the protection card takes over the physical E-1 or DS-3 electrical interfaces through the relays and signal bridging on the backplane. Figure 3-2 shows the ONS 15454 SDH in a 1:N protection configuration. Each side of the shelf assembly has only one card protecting all of the cards on that side.
Chapter 3 Card Reference Optical Card Protection The ONS 15454 SDH supports 1:N equipment protection for all add-drop multiplexer configurations (ring, linear, and terminal), as specified by ITU-T G.841. The ONS 15454 SDH automatically detects and identifies a 1:N protection card when the card is installed in Slot 3 or Slot 15. However, the slot containing the 1:N card in a protection group must be manually provisioned as a protect slot because by default all cards are working cards. 3.2.
Chapter 3 Card Reference Unprotected Cards (1:0 Protection) 3.5 Unprotected Cards (1:0 Protection) Unprotected cards are not included in a protection scheme; therefore, a card failure or a signal error results in lost data. An unprotected configuration is sometimes called 1:0 protection. Because no bandwidth is reserved for protection, unprotected schemes maximize the available ONS 15454 SDH bandwidth. Figure 3-3 shows the ONS 15454 SDH in an unprotected configuration. All cards are in a working state.
