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

Reference:

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

On the System View menu, select Administration → OSI Routing Map and/or Administration → OSI Neighbor Map to retrieve a node-to-node listing of every node in the network.

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.

This command may take several minutes to complete depending on the size of the network.

Result:

The OSI Routing Map or OSI Neighbor Map window opens.

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

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

Verify that the Ethernet circuit packs have been installed into the required slot of the Function Unit group (A, B, C, or D) at each NE providing Ethernet service.

Reference:

Procedure 4-12: Install 10/100 Ethernet circuit packs

Important!

If the Ethernet circuit pack is already in service, the existing cross-connect mode cannot be changed without removing all existing VCG cross-connections.

CONFIGURE CROSS-CONNECT MODE

Determine the existing Cross-Connect mode for the circuit pack being provisioned. Use the TL1 rtrv-eqpt command or select View → Equipment from the System View menu, select the CP, then click Select. Note the Cross-Connect mode.

If required, use the TL1 ed-eqpt command or select the Configuration → Equipment command from the System View menu, select the circuit pack being provisioned, then click Select.

Verify/Select the Cross-Connect mode (STS1 or STS3c) in the Cross-Connect Mode box. Click Apply, then click Close to exit.

ESTABLISH SONET CROSS-CONNECTIONS

Determine the necessary cross-connections to be made at each terminating and non terminating node in the network.

Important!

STS-1 Cross-Connect mode supports one or two STS-1 cross-connections to each of 24 VCGs (1-24). STS-3c Cross-Connect mode supports at most one STS-3c or one STS-1 cross-connection to each of the first 16 VCGs (1-16), (VCGs 17-24 are not used).

In STS3c mode, if an STS1 cross-connection is made to a VCG, it must be made to the first (1) STS1 tributary of the VCG. In STS1 mode, the first STS1 cross-connection made to a VCG should be made to the first (1) STS1 tributary of the VCG (for example, d-v13-1).

One at a time at each non terminating node in the network, use the TL1 ent-crs-sts1 or ent-crs-sts3c 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 nodes in the network to provision the 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

One at a time at each terminating node in the network, use the TL1 ent-crs-sts1 or ent-crs-sts3c 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 nodes in the network to provision the cross-connections.

Reference:

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

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

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.

PROVISION LAN PORTS

Use the TL1 ed-eport command to provision the LAN port parameters, or select Configuration → Equipment from the System View menu. Expand the details for the circuit pack, highlight the LAN Port, then click Select. Provision the parameters as required.

Reference:

Procedure 11-11: Provision Ethernet LAN port parameters

Click Apply. Read the warning message, then click Yes to execute the command.

PROVISION VCGS

Use the ed-vcg TL1 command to provision the WAN (VCG) port parameters, or select Configuration → Equipment from the System View menu, if window is not already open from the prevision step. Expand the details for the circuit pack, highlight the VCG port, then click Select. Provision the parameters as required.

Reference:

Procedure 11-12: Provision Ethernet VCG parameters

Click Apply. Read the warning message, then click Yes to execute the command. Click Close to exit or repeat from Step 15 for other port provisioning.
