Remove protection from an SNC/N protected cross-connection
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
When to use
When a new traffic plan is implemented or the existing traffic plan is changed.
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 section Traffic Provisiong Concepts.
Before you begin
To remove the protection from a protected a 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 to be unprotected (Standard)?
• Which termination points are used for the SNC protection path
• Removing the protection of the cross-connection degrades the transmission path.
The transmission path is no longer protected. A failure in the signal results in loss
of traffic.
Procedure

1
Select Provisioning -> Transport -> Cross Connection.
Result: The Cross Connection Filter window appears.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
2
Select the Cross Connection type, Capacity, Directionality, TP, Slot, Port, and the AU-4
number and select
OK.
Result: The Cross Connection Selection List window appears with all available
cross connections that meet the selected filter criteria. The filter criteria are
displayed in the filter area of the Cross Connection Selection List window.
