Synchronizing NodeTiming chapter of theCisco NCS 2000 SeriesControl Card and NodeConfiguration Guide
Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) provides synchronizedtiming to multiple remote network elements (NEs)without using an external circuit for timing. SyncEprovides the required synchronization at the physicallevel and uses the Ethernet SynchronizationMessageChannel (ESMC) to enable traceability of the bestclock source. SyncE clocks are compatible with theclocks used in the SONET or SDH synchronizationnetwork.
SyncE is supported on TNCS and TNCS-O controllercards. You must enable ESMC on an OSC port toconfigure it as a clock source.

• NTP-G357 PerformOTDR Scan andOTDR Event Scan
• Two types of OTDR scans are available forTNCS-O cards: hybrid scan and fast scan.
When you start a fast scan on a TX or an RXport, an OTDR_FAST_SCAN_INPROGRESS_TX or anOTDR_FAST_SCAN_IN PROGRESS_RXalarm is raised. Fast scan shuts down the OSCchannel.
When you start a hybrid scan on a TX or an RXport, anOTDR_HYBRID_SCAN_IN_PROGRESS_TXor anOTDR_HYBRID_SCAN_IN_PROGRESS_RXalarm is raised. Hybrid scan does not shut downthe OSC channel and takes more time tocomplete.
• New OTDR alarms are introduced to providemore information about theOTDR events. Selectan event to view its details as a graph or in atabular format.
• CTC logs the data of a maximum of 32 historicalOTDR scans. The history is maintained forOTDR scans in the same zone and direction.The values of the back reflection and insertionloss are listed for each scan along with the dateand timestamp.

The SMR20 FS CV cards are tunableover 96 channels in the C-band, at50-GHz spacing on the ITU-T grid. Thecards provide flex spectrum capability,which allows the flexibility to allocatethe channel bandwidth and to increasethe network scalability. The cards supportup to 20 directions for each ROADMnode and can be installed in any serviceslots in the chassis. The SMR20 FS CVcards provide the connection verificationcapability using a connectivity checksignal. The correctness and the quality ofthe interconnections (determined bymeasuring the insertion loss of theexternal passive path) can be validatedwith the connection verification featurein the cards.

• DLP-L71 Provisioning theFrequency on the100GS-CK-LC Card
The 100GS-CK-LC card is a tunableDWDM trunk card that simplifies theintegration and transport of the 100Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and serviceson the enterprise or service provideroptical networks.
The 100GS-CK-LC card provides thefollowing benefits:
• Allows choosing 100GQPSK as themodulation format at the line side.
• Provides 20% SD (Soft Decision)FEC encoding and Nyquist filteringfor best performance and optimalband usage.
• Supports gridless tunability.
• Allows client access either throughthe local 100G CPAK interface orthrough backplane lines that allowinterconnection with an adjacent10x10G-LC card.

• Node Reference
The split ROADMnode feature allows theROADM node to have separate NetworkElements (NEs) for each line side leadingto the separation of different ROADMdegrees. When a node split is configured,each line side is treated as a separate NE.The whole NE manageability is not lostin case of failure. The legacy ROADMconfigurations can be migrated to splitROADM configurations using CTC andCTP.

Software Enhancements
OSC Combiner/Splitter ModuleThe FLD-OSC is a passive unit used tocombine the optical service channel (OSC)wavelengths to form the DWDMaggregated signal, or split the OSCwavelengths from the DWDMaggregatedsignal. The passive unit occupies a singleslot in the rack mounting bracket. Thepassive unit is introduced due to theend-of-sale of the OSC-CSM card in theMSTP platform.

The user can provision an OCHCC circuitusing the Network Functional View (NFVbetween the MSTP transponder ormuxponder client interface and the routerPLIM interface ( 10G and 100G ethernetcontroller). The OCHTrail circuit type isno longer directly supported between therouter interfaces and the MSTP ones; it isindirectly created by the creation of theOCH CC circuit.

• CTC displays the circuit constraintsof the circuit in the graphical viewof the Circuit Maintenanceperspective of the NFV. The usercan also modify the circuitconstraints of the circuit being editedin the NFV. These modified circuitconstraints are applied afterresignalling of the circuit (automaticcircuit restoration or manualreroute).
• CTC displays the link direction inthe circuit map for LinkManagement Protocol (LMP) linksbetween the router PLIM interfaceand the OCH ports on the MSTPnode. This is also applicable to theinternal patchcords between thetrunk interface and the OCH portsof the MSTP node.
• CTC allows tuning of the routerPLIM interface by specifying thechannel ID, frequency or thewavelength.
• CTC displays the ethernet statisticsthat are retrieved from the ethernetcontrollers on the router. Theinformation is displayed in a tabularformat.
