Product Migration Options

The recommended replacement for the Cisco TCC+ card is the TCC2 card (Table 3). The TCC2 provides enhanced ONS 15454 MSPP system performance with increased processor speed, improved network aggregation capability, integrated node voltage monitoring, and improved software download speeds, at a cost point equivalent to the TCC+ card.

In-service processor upgrades are supported from the TCC+ card to the TCC2 card using either Release 4.0.x or 4.1.x as a transition software load. For installed systems operating on the original model TCC card, the required upgrade steps will be 1) transition from TCC card to TCC+ card using a 2.2.x or 2.3.x software release as a transition load then 2) transition from TCC+ card to TCC2 card using a 4.0.x or 4.1.x software release as the transition load. Processor upgrade procedures will be included in the Cisco ONS 15454 R4.0.0 user documentation, available at first customer shipment.
