NTP-A38 Provision a Linear ADM Network
Step 11 Verify that the test set has a clean signal. If a clean signal is not present, repeat Steps 6 through 10 to
make sure the test set and cabling are configured correctly.
Step 12 If a node fails any test, repeat the test while verifying correct setup and configuration. If the test fails
again, refer to the next level of support.
Step 13 Inject BIT errors from the test set. Verify that the errors appear at the test set, indicating a complete
end-to-end circuit.
Step 14 Complete the “DLP-A356 TCC2/TCC2P Card Active/Standby Switch Test” task on page 20-40.
Step 15 Complete the “DLP-A255 Cross-Connect Card Side Switch Test” task on page 19-37.
Step 16 Complete the “DLP-A88 Optical 1+1 Protection Test” task on page 17-85.
Step 17 Set up and complete a bit error rate (BER) test. Use the existing configuration and follow your site
requirements for the specified length of time. Record the test results and configuration.
Step 18 Remove any loopbacks, switches, or test sets from the nodes after all testing is complete.
Step 19 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 20 Click the Alarms tab.
a. Verify that the alarm filter is not on. See the “DLP-A227 Disable Alarm Filtering” task on
page 19-17 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 Troubleshooting Guide if necessary.
c. Complete the “DLP-A516 Export CTC Data” task on page 22-6 to export the alarms information.
Step 21 Repeat Steps 9 through 20 for the other point-to-point node.
Step 22 If a node fails any test, repeat the test while verifying correct setup and configuration. If the test fails
again, refer to the next level of support.
Step 23 Delete the test circuit. See the “DLP-A333 Delete Circuits” task on page 20-21.
After all tests are successfully completed and no alarms exist in the network, the network is ready for
service application.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-A38 Provision a Linear ADM Network
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-A60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-66 at an ONS 15454 where you want to
provision in a linear ADM network. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Purpose This procedure provisions three or more ONS 15454s in a linear add-drop
multiplexer (ADM) configuration.
