DLP- D40 Create a Provisionable Patchcord
Step 4 Verify the LED activity:
• The red FAIL LED turns on for 20 to 30 seconds.
• The red FAIL LED blinks for 35 to 45 seconds.
• All LEDs blink once and turn off for 1 to 5 seconds.
• The ACT or ACT/STBY LED turns on. The SF LED can persist until all card ports connect to their
far end counterparts and a signal is present.
Note If the red FAIL LED does not turn on, check the power.
Note If you insert a card into a slot provisioned for a different card, all LEDs turn off.
Step 5 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-D40 Create a Provisionable Patchcord
Note To set up a provisionable patchcord between an optical port and a transponder/muxponder, an add/drop
multiplexer, or multiplexer/demultiplexer port, the optical port must have a DCC termination
provisioned. If the port is the protection port in a 1+1 group, the working port must have a DCC
termination provisioned. As needed, complete the “DLP-D363 Provision Regenerator-Section DCC
Terminations” task on page 20-68 or “DLP-D364 Provision Multiplex-Section DCC Terminations” task
on page 20-71.
Note An optical port requires two patchcords when the remote end is Y-cable protected or is an add/drop
multiplexer or multiplexer/demultiplexer port.
Purpose
This task creates a provisionable patchcord, also called a virtual link.
Patchcords are used for network communication when a DCC/generic
communications channel (GCC) is not available. They appear as dashed
lines in CTC network view.
For the specific situations in which a patchcord is necessary, refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual.
Tools/Equipment STM-N, transponder/muxponder, optical add/drop multiplexer, and
multiplexer/demultiplexer cards
For the card combinations that support patchcords, refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual.
