In order to troubleshoot and eventually fix a fiber cut, follow the “Fix a Fiber Cut” procedure on
page 1-67. The basic assumption is that the MSTP system was already installed and working correctly
before the alarm condition occurred. For first installation or restart from a fiber cut, refer to
1.12.2 System Restart after a Fiber Cut, page 1-69.
Fix a Fiber Cut
Caution When the network ALS setting is DISABLE, optical power is still present at the damaged fiber. Before
fixing the span, it is highly recommended that you shut down the amplifier and the OSC laser upstream
of the fiber cut.
Step 1 Isolate the span affected by the fiber cut.
a. Go to CTC network view.
b. Identify the span connection that is gray.
Step 2 Verify the alarm is valid, then perform the following steps for both DWDM nodes connected to the span
identified in Step 1.
a. Double-click the card directly connected to the span (either the OPT-BST or the OSC-CSM).
