Creating cross connections without protection
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
When to use
When a new traffic plan is implemented or the existing traffic plan is changed.
Related information
The following procedures are used for test and maintenance of the provisioned path.
These procedures are described in Chapter 9, “Traffic maintenance”.
• port provisioning.
• provisioning termination points
• path trace provisioning
• for theoretical information see section Traffic Maintenance Concepts.
Before you begin
To make a cross-connection first determine the following
• What is the capacity of the cross-connection? VC-12, VC-3 or VC-4
• Will the cross connection be used as a loopback for maintenance purposes
• Does the cross connection require SNC protection or is it unprotected (Standard)
• Between which termination points (TP) is the cross connection made
• Before adding a cross connection and, if desired its protection, be sure to have
information regarding the design of the transmission path
• Before deleting a cross connection or part of a cross connection be sure to know
whether the cross connection to be removed still carries traffic? If yes this traffic
will be lost after removing the cross-connection
• Deleting or changing a cross-connection is traffic affecting if the current existing
cross-connection is carrying traffic.
Procedure
Use the following procedure to add a cross-connection in the 1643 AM or 1643 AMS
network element.
