NTP-A40 Provision BLSR Nodes
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-A44 Install Fiber-Optic Cables for BLSR Configurations” task on page 17-52,
verifying that the following rules are observed:
• Verify that the east port at one node is connected to the west port on an adjacent node, and this
east-to-west port connection is used at all BLSR nodes, similar to Figure 5-2. In the figure, the
OC-N drop card on the left side of the shelf is the west port, and the drop card on the right side of
the shelf is considered the east port.
Figure 5-2 Four-Node, Two-Fiber BLSR Fiber Connection Example
•
For four-fiber BLSRs, verify that the same east port to west port connection is used for the working
and protect fibers, similar to Figure 5-3. Verify that the working and protect card connections are
not mixed. The working cards are the cards where you will provision the DCC terminations.
Purpose This procedure provisions ONS 15454 nodes for a BLSR.
