NTP-D127 Verify Network Turn-Up
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-D60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-49 at an ONS 15454 SDH on the network
where you will create circuits. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View. Wait for all the nodes that are part of the network
to appear on the network map. (Large networks might take several minutes to display all the nodes.)
Note If this is the first time your computer has connected to this ONS 15454 SDH network, the node
icons are stacked on the left side of the graphic area, possibly out of view. Use the scroll bar
under the network map to display the icons. To separate the icons, press Ctrl and drag and drop
the icon to the new location. Repeat until all the nodes are visible on the graphic area.
Step 3 Verify node accessibility. In the network view, all node icons must be either green, yellow, orange, or red.
If all network nodes do not appear after a few minutes, or if a node icon is gray with “Unknown” under
it, do not continue. Look at the Net box in the lower right corner of the window. If it is gray, log in again,
making sure not to check the Disable Network check box in the CTC Login dialog box. If problems
persist, see Chapter 5, “Turn Up a Network” to review the network turn-up procedure appropriate for
your network topology, or refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting Guide for
troubleshooting procedures.
Step 4 Verify DCC connectivity. All nodes must be connected by green lines. If lines are missing or gray in
color, do not continue. See Chapter 5, “Turn Up a Network” and follow the network turn-up procedure
appropriate for your network topology. Verify that all nodes have DCC connectivity before continuing.
If DCCs need to be created, complete the “DLP-D363 Provision Regenerator-Section DCC
Terminations” task on page 20-68.
Step 5 Click the Alarms tab to view alarm descriptions. Investigate and resolve, if necessary, all critical (red
node icon) or major (orange node icon) alarms. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting
Guide to resolve alarms before continuing.
Step 6 From the View menu, choose Go to Home View. Verify that the node is provisioned according to your
site or engineering plan:
a. View the cards that appear in the shelf map. Verify that the ONS 15454 SDH cards appear in the
specified slots.
b. Click the Provisioning > General tabs. Verify that the node name, contacts, date, time, and Network
Time Protocol/Simple Network Time Protocol (NTP/SNTP) server IP address (if used) are correctly
provisioned. If needed, make corrections using the “DLP-D140 Change the Node Name, Date,
Time, and Contact Information” task on page 18-32.
Purpose This procedure verifies that the ONS 15454 SDH network is ready for
circuit provisioning.
