NTP-G49 Perform the OADM Active Node Acceptance Test on a
Symmetric Node with OSC-CSM Cards
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-G46 Log into CTC” task on page 2-25 at the OADM node where you want to
perform the acceptance test. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 3 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 equipment failure 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.
Step 4 In node view, click the Provisioning > WDM-ANS > Port Status tabs. Verify that all statuses under
Link Status are Success - Changed, Success - Unchanged, or Not Applicable. If not, complete the
“NTP-G37 Run Automatic Node Setup” procedure on page 3-83.
Step 5 Check the Cisco MetroPlanner site configuration file to verify the presence of added and dropped bands
(including 4 channels at 100 GHz) configured in pass-through mode in either direction.
Note Configuring a band in pass-through mode means that the band is dropped in one direction by an
AD-xB-xx.x card on one side (east or west) of the node, then added by another AD-xB-x.xx card
on the opposite side in the same direction. The band is not terminated inside the node.
Step 6 If no bands are configured in pass-through mode, continue with Step 7. If a band is configured in
pass-through mode, mark it and skip the related optical test for the express, add, and drop sections. Band
pass-through connections are verified separately.
Step 7 Check the site configuration file from Cisco MetroPlanner to verify the presence of dropped or added
channels configured in pass-through mode in either direction.
Purpose This procedure checks the integrity of all the optical connections inside an
OADM node with OSC-CSM and OPT-BST cards installed on both the
east and west sides of the shelf. Three connection types are tested:
• Express
• Pass-through
• Add/Drop
Tools/Equipment A tunable laser or eight TXP_MR_2.5G cards covering the 32 C-band
wavelengths (see Table 4-1)
An optical power meter or optical spectrum analyzer
2 bulk attenuators (10 dB) with LC connectors
