Acceptance Test
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-G46 Log into CTC” task on page 2-25 at the node where you want to perform the
acceptance test. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 3.
Step 2 If you are using TXP_MR_2.5G cards, complete the “DLP-G268 Provision TXP_MR_2.5G Cards for
Acceptance Testing” task on page 4-4. If not, continue with Step 3.
Step 3 From the View menu, choose Go to Node View.
Step 4 Click the Alarms tab.
a. Verify that the alarm filter is not on. See the “DLP-G128 Disable Alarm Filtering” task on page 8-28
as necessary.
b. Verify that no equipment (EQPT) alarms appear indicating equipment failure or other hardware
problems. If alarms appear, investigate and resolve them before continuing. Refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide or the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting Guide for
procedures.
Note The OSC terminations created during node turn-up will generate two alarms for each side of the
shelf, one for LOS on the OPT-BST card, and the other an LOS alarm on the OSC_CSM or
OSCM card.
Step 5 In node view, click the Provisioning > WDM-ANS > Port Status tabs. Verify that all statuses under
Link Status are listed as Success - Changed, Success - Unchanged, or Not Applicable. If any are not,
complete the following steps:
a. Delete the two OSC channels using the “DLP-G186 Delete an OSC Termination” task on
page 10-41.
b. Complete the “NTP-G37 Run Automatic Node Setup” procedure on page 3-83.
c. Create the OSC channels using the “NTP-G38 Provision OSC Terminations” procedure on
page 3-84.
Step 6 Create a loopback on the west OPT-BST by using a fiber with a 10-dB bulk attenuator to connect the
LINE TX port to the LINE RX port.
Purpose This procedure tests a line amplifier node with OSCM cards installed on
both the east and west sides of the shelf by looping a single wavelength
through the shelf.
Tools/Equipment A tunable laser or one TXP_MR_2.5G card
An optical power meter or optical spectrum analyzer
2 bulk attenuators (10 dB) with LC connectors
