OCTPO - Cisco ONS SONET 15454 Turn Up, Test, Provisioning, Basic ML, and Operation Training v7.0

Overview:

The Cisco ONS 15454 is a fast and powerful yet easy-to-use optical platform that lowers the cost and increases the efficiency of bandwidth delivery within optical transport networks. In this instructor-led course, you'll get hands-on training on a 6-node ONS 15454 system. Working in small groups of up to 3 people per node, you will complete a wide range of tasks covering many system features and functions. Over 50 percent of classroom time will be in hands-on labs, and each student has the opportunity to participate in every lab. Lab exercises rely on the Cisco ONS 15454 User Documentation for references to specific procedures. This class incorporates the use of a DS3 test set to test DS3 circuits. You will test circuits using a hard loop, terminal loop, and facilities loop.

This class does not cover the DWDM features of the ONS 15454; however, those features are covered in our Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP courses. This class does not cover the advanced features and capabilities of the ML card; however, they are covered in our Cisco ONS 15454 ML-Series Metro Optical Ethernet (OMSSA) course.
