Procedure 4-5.1: Provision unprotected operation for low-speed optical ports (Main slots not equipped with Very Large Fabric circuit packs)

- Overview

Use this procedure to initially provision unprotected operation for low-speed optical ports when the Main slots are not equipped with Very Large Fabric LNW84 or LNW141 OLIU circuit packs.

Steps

Complete the following steps to provision unprotected operation for low-speed optical ports when the Main slots are not equipped with Very Large Fabric LNW84 or LNW141 OLIU circuit packs.

 
1

From the System View window, select Configuration → Equipment.

Result:

The Configure Equipment window opens.


2

Find the low-speed OLIU circuit pack with the port being provisioned, then expand the equipment list by clicking on the plus (+) sign next to the low-speed OLIU circuit pack.


3

Click (highlight) the OLIU port being provisioned, then click Select at the bottom of the window.

Result:

The port parameters display on the right side of the window.


4

Provision the Application parameter (0x1S1 or 0x1S2) according to your work instructions.

If the port being provisioned is in slot 1, choose 0x1S1. For a port in slot 2, choose 0x1S2.


5

Provision the Port Monitoring Mode parameter for the selected port as AUTO.


6

Click Apply and Close.

Important!

If a companion port is equipped for the port being provisioned, the port state for the companion port is automatically set to Not Monitored (NMON) and is not provisionable. The inactive companion port, if equipped, transmits the system idle signal (STS UNEQ-P or AIS-P) on all tributaries.


7

If required, repeat this procedure to provision other low-speed optical ports.

When a port is ready to be cross-connected, select Configuration → Cross-Connections from the System View. Use the Cross-Connection Wizard to provision the cross-connections.

Establishing service requires that the proper slots in each terminating node be properly equipped with the correct circuit packs for the type of service being established. It also requires numerous cross-connections in each of the nodes representing the path of the required service. Additionally, transmission tests should be performed to verify the continuity and quality of the established circuit.
