Procedure 4-5.3: Provision unprotected operation for optical ports (Main slots equipped with Very Large Fabric circuit packs)

- Overview

Use this procedure to provision unprotected operation for low-speed and high-speed optical ports when the Main slots are equipped with Very Large Fabric LNW84 or LNW141 OLIU circuit packs.

Steps

Complete the following steps to provision unprotected operation for low-speed and high-speed optical ports when the Main slots are 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 OLIU circuit pack with the port being provisioned, then expand the equipment list by clicking on the plus (+) sign next to the 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

Important!

If provisioning a port on an LNW55 multirate OLIU circuit pack and the port Signal Rate parameter is STNA (default value), the Signal Type parameter must be changed to another value before other port parameter changes are allowed.

If required, provision the Signal Rate parameter to the required OC-n rate and click Apply; otherwise, continue with the next step.


5

Provision the Application parameter 0x1.


6

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


7

Click Apply and Close.


8

If required, repeat this procedure to provision other 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.
