Standing Conditions
1 Verify that the GFP facility which employs the path as a member of its virtually
concatenated bundle is correctly provisioned and is operating in-service normal (“In
Service”).
2 Verify that the far-end GFP facility instance is also correctly and consistently
provisioned relative to the near-end instance, and that it is operating in-service
normal (“In Service”).
3 Verify that the incoming cable is the correct cable and that the transmit and receive
ports are connected to their proper respective portions of the cable (i.e. that the
fibers are not swapped between transmit and receive).
4 Verify that the incoming optical fiber is firmly connected to the receive port
associated with the facility and that the connector is not physically impaired by
obstructions, dirt or component damage. Clean the connector or replace the cable,
plug or module, as appropriate, depending upon the cause determined from the
physical examination.
5 Verify that a signal is present at the cable termination and that the signal conforms
to the required specifications (e.g. minimum and maximum power levels). If the
signal meets the required specifications, proceed to the next step below.
Otherwise, locate the source of the signal problem upstream and repair the
problem.
6 Verify that each intermediate point through which the paths within the bundle pass
are correctly cross-connected.
7 Replace the near-end plug supporting the facility.
8 Replace the far-end plug supporting the facility.
9 Replace the near-end module supporting the facility.
10 Replace the far-end module supporting the facility.
