Procedure 9-10: Establish DWDM network

- Overview

Use this procedure to establish an Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend DWDM:

  • point-to-point network

  • linear network

  • ring network.

Important!

This procedure assumes that the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend shelves have been equipped with the required circuit packs and software has been installed. If not, refer to Chapter 5, Node turnup procedures.

- Privilege level

You must log in as a Privileged user to complete this procedure.

Important!

The network element TID (target identifier) must be unique in the network.

Select Administration → View NE Administration to access the NE administrative parameters. Verify that the NE Parameters and NSAP are provisioned correctly using the work instruction and/or office records and click Close.

If provisioning changes are required, refer to the appropriate procedure(s) in Chapter 7, System administration procedures.

Repeat this step at each node in the network.
