Data Sheet
Cisco Optical Regenerator OC-48/STM-16 Bidirectional Regenerator
The Cisco Optical Regenerator is a bidirectional OC-48/STM-16 regenerator that supports single-mode optical fiber transmission when connected to an OC-48 line card (packet-over-SONET [POS] or Dynamic Packet Transport [DPT] based) in a Cisco 12000 series gigabit switch router (GSR). It provides OC-48 line extensions in increments of up to 50 miles (80 km) between Cisco 12000 GSRs. This new regenerator is the first IP-addressable optical regenerator with Cisco IOS® software support. Customers can use the same command-line interface (CLI)-based network management platform for Cisco series 12000 GSR routers as well as for the Cisco Optical Regenerator.
Summary of Features
Regeneration:
- Telecordia (Bellcore)/ITU SONET/SDH regeneration standards compliance
- Complete optical-to-electrical-to-optical regeneration
- Payload transmission delay of less than 20usec
- Regenerates the Synchronous Payload Envelope (SPE) and line layer overhead
- Terminates and generates the section layer overhead
- Provides monitoring and insertion of both the B1 and C1 bytes
- Use of Data Communication Channel (DCC) for management, enabling IP addressing and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) access
Alarm and performance monitoring:
- Generates an L-AIS within 125us upon detecting a Loss of Signal (LOS) and Loss of Frame (LOF)
- Monitors for B1 parity errors and generate the appropriate alarms and alerts
- Provides error counters for section-level performance parameters, Errored Seconds (ES), Severely Errored Seconds (SES), and so on
Synchronization:
- Supports through timing, meeting Bellcore's category II jitter transfer requirements
- Provides a standby local oscillator for failure periods
Management:
- Manageable through SNMP
- Uses the DCC channel to provide IP addressing
- Cisco IOS software support
- Access to Cisco IOS software CLI for configuration capabilities using either a console port or a 10BaseT Ethernet port
- Supports SNMP MIBs, RFC1595, and RFC 1213
