Procedure 9-2: Add new Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX node to network
Overview
Use this procedure to add a new Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX node to a unidirectional path switched ring (UPSR)/bidirectional line switched ring (BLSR) using the following:
Important!
This procedure assumes that the new Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX shelf has been equipped with the required circuit packs/pluggable transmission modules, software has been installed, and the shelf has passed the looped transmission tests. If not, refer to Chapter 5, Node turnup procedures.
Privilege level
You must log in as a Privileged user to complete this procedure.
Required equipment
In addition to the equipment listed in Required equipment, the following equipment is also required at the new Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX node and the two adjacent network elements:
Important!
All nodes in the existing network must have the same software release before adding a new node.
Before you begin
Prior to performing this procedure:
-
Refer to Before you begin in this chapter.
-
Refer to Laser safety and Electrostatic discharge information in Chapter 1, Safety.
- Verify that the work instructions specify the following for the new node:
Steps
Important!
When optical fibers are disconnected during this procedure, inc. LOS, section DCC channel failed, and neighbor SYSCTL CP unavailable alarms are reported. The holdover mode active condition may also be reported depending on the provisioned system timing mode.
Complete the following steps to add a new Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX node to a network.
1 |
To verify that no alarms are present at the new node, click Alarm List in the top right corner of the System View. To verify that no loopbacks, protection switch lockouts, or protection switches are present at the new node, from the System View menu, select View → Rolling Events. Under the line beginning with RTRV-COND-ALL, any loopbacks, protection switch lockouts, or protection switches are displayed. Click Close. Important! If the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX fails to respond in the indicated manner, refer to the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer (DMX) Alarm Messages and Trouble Clearing Guide, 365-372-302. | ||||||
2 |
Notify maintenance center that alarms will be generated. | ||||||
3 |
Important! Two or more shelves in the same network cannot have the same TID. Determine from either the Network Operations Center (NOC) or work instructions, all the other nodes in the existing ring. Verify that no duplicate TID settings exist between the ring and the new node. If duplicate TID settings exist, determine new settings and at each of the sites with duplicate TID settings, select Administration → Set TID from the System View menu, and enter new TID settings. Reference: Procedure 7-11: Set/change system TID | ||||||
4 |
If required, modify the network service access point (NSAP) address and/or enable Level 2 routing capabilities at the new node to be compatible with the network. Reference: Procedure 7-13: Provision network layer 3 parameters | ||||||
5 |
To designate the alarm gateway function and alarm group numbers, select Administration → Set NE from the System View at the new node. If required, provision the Remote NE Status, Alarm Group, and Alarm Gateway parameters according to the work instructions. Reference: | ||||||
6 |
At the adjacent nodes, verify and record the DCC termination settings using the View → DCC Terminations command. | ||||||
