NTP-A177 Path Protection Acceptance Test
Caution This procedure might be service affecting if performed on a node carrying traffic.
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-A60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-66 at one of the ONS 15454s on the path
protection you are testing. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 3 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 alarm information.
Step 4 Click the Conditions tab.
a. Verify that no unexplained conditions appear on the network. If unexplained conditions appear,
resolve them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide if necessary.

information.
Step 5 On the network map, double-click the node that you logged into in Step 1.
Step 6 Create a test circuit from that node to the next adjacent path protection node.
• For DS-1 circuits, complete the “NTP-A181 Create an Automatically Routed DS-1 Circuit”
procedure on page 6-6. When you set the circuit state, choose IS and check the Apply to drop ports
check box.
• For DS-3 circuits, complete the “NTP-A184 Create an Automatically Routed DS-3 Circuit”
procedure on page 6-18. When you set the circuit state, choose IS and check the Apply to drop
ports check box.
• For OC-N circuits, complete the “NTP-A257 Create an Automatically Routed OC-N Circuit”
procedure on page 6-38. When you set the circuit state, choose IS and check the Apply to drop
ports check box.
Step 7 Configure the test set for the test circuit type you created:
• DS-1—If you are testing a DS-1 that is not multiplexed, you must have a DSX-1 panel or a direct
DS-1 interface into the ONS 15454. Set the test set for DS-1. For information about configuring
your test set, consult your test set user guide.
Purpose This procedure tests a path protection.
Tools/Equipment Test set and cables appropriate to the test circuit you will create.
