Use the WaveStar^® CIT to log in to one of the terminating nodes, if not already performed.

Procedure 14-2: Connect Personal Computer (PC) and establish WaveStar^® CIT session

On the System View menu, select Administration → OSI Neighbor Map command and note the NEs connected to Main 1 and Main 2.

Access each of the NEs identified and select the Administration → OSI Neighbor Map command and note the NEs connected to Main 1 and Main 2.

Repeat the above until the backbone ring can be sketched.

As an alternative for BLSR rings, you can select View → Rings → Ring Map from the System View menu, then select the 2F BLSR port protection group and click Select. Select NVMRING in the Ring Map Source selection box. You may also Display Ring Map Graph using this command.

Important!

If a drawing of the network is not provided with the work instructions, it is recommended that you draw a simple diagram of the ring (indicating node-to-node connections) and list each node's TID.

Result:

The OSI Neighbor Map window opens if the Administration → OSI Neighbor Map command was used.

A list of NEs and NE neighbors is displayed if the View → Rings → Ring Map command was used.

Verify that the system configuration is the same as specified on your work instructions.

From your work instructions, determine the circuit pack, ports, and cross-connections to be made at each node associated with the service being added.

At each node in the network, use the View → Cross-Connections command from the System View menu at each node to verify that the new cross-connections are available for assignment at each NE. If any of the new cross-connections are already assigned, you must resolve the problem before continuing with this procedure.

ESTABLISH SONET PASS THROUGH CROSS-CONNECTIONS

Determine the necessary 2-Way Point-to-Point, Through cross-connections to be made at each non terminating node in the network.

One at a time at each non terminating node in the network, use the TL1 ent-crs-sts1 command to provision the pass-through cross-connections. Or, select Configuration → Cross-Connections from the System View menu to start the Cross-Connection Wizard. Use the Cross-Connection Wizard at each of the non terminating nodes in the network to provision the 2-Way Point-to-Point, Through cross-connections.

Important!

Note that cross-connections at the terminating nodes are add/drop and cross-connections at the non terminating nodes are pass-through.

Reference:

Procedure 11-24: Make cross-connections for Ethernet service

From the System View menu, select View → Cross-Connections at each non terminating node to verify that the proper connections have been made.

ESTABLISH SONET ADD/DROP CROSS-CONNECTIONS

At each terminating node in the network, coordinate your activities to activate the necessary cross-connections at the same time. Note that there will be some service interruption.

Use The TL1 ent-crs-sts1 command to provision the add/drop cross-connections. Or, select Configuration → Cross-Connections from the system view menu to start the Cross-Connection Wizard. Use the Cross-Connection Wizard at each of the terminating nodes in the network to provision the UPSR Ring Add/Drop or 2F BLSR Add/Drop cross-connections.

Important!

Enter all your parameters for the cross-connections and coordinate with the other end as to when you enter/apply the command.

After all cross-connections are made, click on the Alarm List button on the System View window and verify no alarms are present.

If alarms are present, look for missing or improperly made cross-connections.

ASSIGN VLAN IDs

If adding new customers, use the TL1 ent-vlan command to assign the new customer VLAN ID to the associated LAN ports and VCG WAN ports. Or select Configuration → Data → Create VLAN command from the CIT System View menu to open the Create New VLAN provisioning window.
