Related information
This section describes the provisioning of protected transmission paths. The
provisioning of paths with no protection is described in previous section “Provision
Cross Connections without Protection”
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 “Concepts” (p. 9-3).
Before you begin
To add protection to an unprotected cross-connection first determine the following:
• What is the capacity of the cross-connection? VC-12, VC-3, or VC-4?
• Does the cross-connection require SNC protection
• Between which termination points (TP) is used for the SNC protection path
• Before adding the protection, be sure to have information regarding the design of
the transmission path
