The Cisco Timing, Communication, and Control Card Version 2 plus (TCC2P), part number 15454-TCC2P-K9, serves a critical role in managing traffic and timing functions within the Cisco ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP). It acts as the primary control processor for the MSTP system, ensuring accurate synchronisation and coordination of network elements. This card is responsible for handling critical functions such as timing control, system communication, and overall system configuration management.
The TCC2P card operates using a dedicated processor, providing enhanced communication between modules and ensuring that all modules receive precise timing information. This ensures proper alignment of network clocks and supports the Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) standards, which require precise timing to maintain high-reliability data transmission.
In addition to broad timing roles, the TCC2P card also manages other administrative tasks like software updates, alarms, and diagnostics. Each module in the system can be controlled and monitored through the TCC2P to maintain proper operation. It includes redundant operations capabilities to ensure uninterrupted network services, leveraging hardware redundancy when needed for high availability.
Physical interfaces on the card allow it to communicate within the system and externally as part of a comprehensive control network. This level of integration makes the TCC2P an essential component for maintaining the operational status and high availability of the network infrastructure.
The TCC2P is compatible with other versions of the Cisco ONS 15454 system, ensuring smooth collaborations between various generations of TCC control cards and modules. As such, it plays a vital role in controlling network operations and ensuring reliability in data communications across multiservice platforms.
