NTP-G52 Verify Node-to-Node Connections
Step 1 Check to see if fiber is connected to the OPT-BST or OSC-CSM LINE RX and TX ports. If yes, continue
with Step 2. If not, complete the following tasks:
a. Clean the fiber using the “NTP-G115 Clean Fiber Connectors” procedure on page 13-25.
b. Install the fiber using the “DLP-G65 Install Fiber-Optic Cables for OSC Link Terminations Between
Two Adjacent Nodes” task on page 3-51.
Step 2 Verify the network fiber connections:
• The east Line TX ports connect to the west Line RX ports of the adjacent node.
• The west Line RX ports connect to the east Line TX ports of the adjacent node.
• The west Line TX ports connect to the east Line RX ports of the adjacent node.
• The east Line RX ports connect to the west Line TX ports of the adjacent node.
Step 3 Complete the “DLP-G46 Log into CTC” task on page 2-25 at a network node.
Step 4 Click the Provisioning > Comm Channels > OSC tabs. Verify that OSC terminations were created for
the east and west OSC-CSM or OSCM cards and that the port state is In-Service and Normal (IS-NR
[ANSI])/Unlocked-enabled (ETSI). If so, continue with Step 5. If OSC terminations are not created,
complete the “NTP-G38 Provision OSC Terminations” procedure on page 3-84.
Step 5 Complete the “NTP-G76 Verify Optical Span Loss Using CTC” procedure on page 10-2. If the measured
span loss is within the minimum and maximum expected span loss values, continue with Step 6. If not,
clean the fiber connected to the OPT-BST or OSC-CSM on both ends of the span, then repeat the
“NTP-G76 Verify Optical Span Loss Using CTC” task on page 10-2. If the span loss is within the
minimum and maximum expected span loss values, continue with Step 6. If not, contact your next level
of support.
Step 6 Repeat Steps 2 through 5 at each network node.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
Purpose This procedure verifies optical service channel (OSC) terminations
between nodes and checks span attenuation. This procedure applies to all
ROADM, OADM, and line amplifier locations.
