In this lab-intensive course, you will get an introduction to the Cisco Optical Network System (ONS) Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) family of transport products, including hands-on work with an ONS 15454, ONS 15600, ONS 15310-MA, and ONS-15310-CL. The 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, and you'll learn to configure and build circuits through the ADM10G card, a TDM card in the ONS 15454 DWDM system. In the course, you will cover electrical, Ethernet, and optical protection options, linear and ring topologies, circuit building, and troubleshooting, including investigating Ethernet circuits at Layer 1 and Layer 2 using the CE and ML cards. Each student team will work with an ONS 15454, ONS 15310-MA, and ONS-15310-CL.
