Automatically
Note OC-N transmit and receive levels should be in their acceptable range as shown in the specifications for
each card in the Table 2-3 on page 2-15.
Note If overhead circuits exist on the network, this procedure 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-A60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-66 at one of the two point-to-point nodes. If
you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 In network view, right-click the span between the two nodes where you want to add the new node. A
dialog box appears.
Step 3 Select Upgrade Protection. A drop-down list appears.
Step 4 Select Terminal to Linear and the first page of the Upgrade Protection: Terminal to Linear wizard
appears.
Step 5 The first page of the wizard lists the following conditions for adding a new node:
Purpose This procedure converts a 1+1 point-to-point (terminal) configuration
(two nodes) to a 1+1 linear add-drop multiplexer (ADM) (3 nodes)
without losing traffic.
Tools/Equipment Compatible hardware necessary for the upgrade (for example, XC10G,
XCVT, or XC10G cards and OC-48 any slot [AS] cards)
Attenuators might be needed for some applications.
Prerequisite Procedures This procedure requires that the node to be added is reachable (has IP
connectivity with CTC). Two technicians who can communicate with
each other during the upgrade might be needed if the PC running CTC
and the ONS 15454s are not at the same location.
