Note STM-N transmit and receive levels should be in their acceptable range as shown in the specifications for
each card in the Table 2-4 on page 2-17.
Note If overhead circuits exist on the network, an in-service topology upgrade is service affecting. The
overhead circuits will drop traffic and have a status of PARTIAL after the upgrade is complete.
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-D60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-49 at one of the nodes in the 1+1 protection
group.
Step 2 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 3 On the network map, right-click the span between the two nodes where you want to add the new node.
A dialog box appears.
Step 4 Select Upgrade Protection. A drop-down list appears.
Step 5 Select Terminal to Linear and the first page of the Upgrade Protection: Terminal to Linear dialog box
appears.
Step 6 The dialog box lists the following conditions for adding a new node:
• The terminal network has no critical or major alarms.
• The node that you will add has no critical or major alarms.
• The node has compatible software version with that of the terminal nodes.
• The node has four unused optical ports matching the speed of the 1+1 protection and no DCC has
been provisioned on these four ports.
• Fiber is available to connect the added node to the terminal nodes.
If all of these conditions are met and you wish to continue with the procedure, click Next.
Note If you are attempting to add an unreachable node, you must first log in to the unreachable node
using a separate CTC session and configure that node. Delete any existing protection groups as
described in “DLP-D155 Delete a Protection Group” task on page 18-47 “Delete any existing
SONET DCC terminations as described in the “DLP-D360 Delete a Regenerator-Section DCC
Termination” task on page 20-66.
