The Cisco Timing, Communication, and Control Card Version 2 (part number 15454E-TCC2-RF) serves as a critical control processor in Cisco ONS 15454 systems. Its primary function is to manage the platform's cross-connect, timing, and communication between the various interface cards. The unit ensures stable operation by delivering system-wide control over critical infrastructure elements. Additionally, it provides hardware-based alarm processing and offers a high degree of fault tolerance.
The TCC2 card is responsible for distributing synchronous network timing and coordinating communication across the platform. This card supports redundant operation, allowing for real-time failover in case of card failure, contributing to system-wide reliability. Another key feature is its ability to interact with uplink modules, which optimise the overall communication performance within the transport network.
With its scalable performance, the 15454E-TCC2-RF card leverages various protocols like SONET/SDH and Ethernet to provide a flexible and robust transport architecture. The card can be easily integrated into networks that need stringent timing controls, and it functions effectively as part of a redundant pair to ensure minimal downtime in case of disruptions. It also supports remote and local management of the node's configuration and operations via a web-based graphical interface, simplifying system control operations and reducing the need for complex manual inputs.
