If the MS-SPRing window appears with the MS-SPRing you created, go to Step 9. If a “Cannot Create
MS-SPRing” or “Error While Creating MS-SPRing” message appears, complete the following:
a. Click OK.
b. In the Create MS-SPRing window, click Excluded Nodes. Review the information explaining why
the MS-SPRing could not be created, then click OK.
c. Depending on the problem, click Back to start over or click Cancel to cancel the operation.
d. Complete the “NTP-D40 Provision MS-SPRing Nodes” procedure on page 5-10, making sure all
steps are completed accurately, then start this procedure again.
Note Some or all of the following alarms might briefly appear during MS-SPRing setup:
E-W MISMATCH, RING MISMATCH, APSCIMP, APSDFLTK, and MS-SPRingOSYNC.
Step 9 Verify the following:
• On the network view graphic, a green span line appears between all MS-SPRing nodes.
• All E-W MISMATCH, RING MISMATCH, APSCIMP, DFLTK, and MS-SPRingOSYNC alarms are
cleared. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting Guide for alarm troubleshooting.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.

Caution This procedure is service affecting. All circuits on the ring are deleted and reprovisioned.

Note Prior to beginning this procedure, you should have a unique ring ID name to identify the new MS-SPRing
and a unique node ID number for each node on the ring.
Purpose This procedure converts an SNCP to an MS-SPRing manually, that is,
