NTP- D341 Two-Fiber MS-SPRing Acceptance Test
NTP-D341 Two-Fiber MS-SPRing Acceptance Test
Note This procedure requires that you create test circuits and perform ring switches around the ring. For
clarity, “Node 1” refers to the login node where you begin the procedure. “Node 2” refers to the node
connected to the east STM-N trunk (span) card of Node 1, “Node 3” refers to the node connected to the
east STM-N trunk card of Node 2, and so on.
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-D60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-49 at one of the ONS 15454 SDHs on the
MS-SPRing you are testing. 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-D227 Disable Alarm Filtering” task on
page 19-25 as necessary.
b. Verify that no unexplained alarms appear on the network. If unexplained alarms appear, resolve
them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting Guide if necessary.
c. Complete the “DLP-D147 Export CTC Data” task on page 18-38 to export the alarm information.
Step 4 Click the Conditions tab.
a. Verify that no unexplained conditions appear on the network. If unexplained conditions appear,
resolve them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting Guide if
necessary.
b. Complete the “DLP-D147 Export CTC Data” task on page 18-38 to export the conditions
information.
Step 5 On the network map, double-click Node 1.
Step 6 Complete the “DLP-D217 MS-SPRing Exercise Ring Test” task on page 19-15.
Step 7 Create a test circuit from Node 1 to the node connected to the east STM-N trunk card of Node 1. (This
node will be called Node 2.)
• For VC4 circuits, complete the “NTP-D323 Create an Automatically Routed High-Order Circuit”
procedure on page 6-55. When you set the circuit state, choose Unlocked and check the
Apply to drop ports check box.
• For VC3 circuits, complete the “NTP-D54 Create an Automatically Routed Low-Order VC3
Circuit” procedure on page 6-31. When you set the circuit state, choose Unlocked and check the
Apply to drop ports check box.
• For VC12 circuits, complete the “NTP-D81 Create an Automatically Routed Low-Order VC12
Circuit” procedure on page 6-19. When you set the circuit state, choose Unlocked and check the
Apply to drop ports check box.
Purpose This procedure tests a two-fiber MS-SPRing.
