1.13.3 Counter-Propagating Light Affecting Operation of 32DMX-C and 32DMX-L Cards
Corrective Action—Software Releases Lower than 8.5.1
Step 1 If the TXP card is preprovisioned in CTC, but not installed:
a. Log into CTC.
b. Display card view for the TXP card.
c. Click the Provisioning > Line tab and choose OOS,DSBLD (ANSI) or Locked,disabled (ETSI)
from the Admin State drop-down list for the Trunk-TX port.
d. Continue with Step 2
Step 2 Install the TXP card into the receptacle at the back of the designated slot.
Step 3 Wait for the TXP card to boot completely.
Step 4 Verify that the Trunk-TX port of the TXP card is in OOS,DSBLD (ANSI) or Locked,disabled (ETSI)
state.
Step 5 Wire the Trunk-TX/RX port of the TXP card to the fiber patch-panel.
Step 6 Turn up the TXP card and display card view for the TXP card in CTC.
Step 7 Click the Provisioning > Line tab and choose IS,AINS (ANSI) or Unlocked,automaticInService
(ETSI) from the Admin State drop-down list for the Trunk-TX port.
Step 8 Display card view for the 32WSS card.
Step 9 Click the Performance > Optical Chn tab and verify the Power ADD field on the CHAN-RX port of the
32WSS card connected to the TXP card.
a. If a valid power level exists, the cabling of the TXP card is correct. Change the admin state of the
Trunk-TX port of the TXP card back to the original state.
b. If no power level exists, the cabling of the TXP card is incorrect. Change the admin state of the
Trunk-TX port of the TXP card to OOS,DSBLD (ANSI) or Locked,disabled (ETSI) state and reverse
the cabling.
Note It is important that you perform Steps 7 to 9 in the shortest time possible. That is, you must check
the presence of a valid RX power on WSS card (Step 9) immediately after you turn up the TXP
Trunk-TX port (Step 7), and in case of a bad connection, you must shut off the TXP Trunk-TX
port (Step 9b) as soon as possible. This is to minimize possible impairments on other channels
that are already in service.
