Cisco Advanced Services: Optical

Although there are no course prerequisites, knowledge of DS1, DS3, and SONET would be highly useful.

This lab-intensive course introduces you to the Cisco® Optical Network System (ONS) Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) family of transport products. The Cisco ONS 15454, ONS 15310-MA, and ONS 15310-CL are SONET transport system components that can be mixed and matched to create high-speed optical transport networks. You will learn about the SONET optical hierarchy OC-3 (155 Mbps), OC-12 (644 Mbps), OC-48 (2.5 Gbps), and OC-192 (10 Gbps). You will learn how DS-1 (1.5 Mbps) and DS-3 (45 Mbps) electrical signals are carried in the SONET optical links. Included in this course is how to configure and build circuits through the ADM10G card, a TDM card in the ONS 15454 DWDM system. The course covers electrical, Ethernet, and optical protection options, linear and ring topologies, circuit building, and troubleshooting. Each student team has an ONS 15454, ONS 15310-MA, and ONS-15310-CL to work with.
