For OCH trunk to OCH filter PPCs, the following rules and conditions apply:
• GCC and DCC links are not required to create a PPC.
• PPCs can be created for preprovisioned or physically installed cards.
• The OCH trunk and OCH filter ports must be on the same wavelength. CTC checks the ports for
wavelength compatibility automatically during PPC provisioning.
• For OC-48/STM-16 and OC-192/STM-64 ITU-T line cards, the wavelength compatibility check is
performed only when the cards are installed. The check is not performed for preprovisioned cards.
• For all other preprovisioned cards, a wavelength compatibility check is not performed if card is set
to First Tunable Wavelength. The wavelength is automatically provisioned on the port, according to
the add/drop port that you chose when you created the PPC.
For OCH-trunk to OCH-trunk PPCs, the following rules and conditions apply:
• Patchcords can be created on preprovisioned or physically installed cards.
• Trunk-to-trunk connections require compatible wavelengths if the port is equipped. A check is
automatically performed during patchcord provisioning to ensure wavelength compatibility of ports.
• For connections involving one or more preprovisioned ports, no compatibility check is performed.
