NTP-A312 Add a Node to a Linear ADM Using the Wizard
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-A60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-66 at a linear ADM node that will connect to
the new node. 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 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 dialog box
appears.
Step 5 The dialog box lists the following conditions for adding a new node:
• The terminal network has no critical or major alarms.
• The node that you will add has no critical or major alarms.
• The node has compatible software version with that of the terminal nodes.
• The node has four unused optical ports matching the speed of the 1+1 protection and no DCC has
been provisioned on these four ports.
• Fiber is available to connect the added node to the terminal nodes.
If all of these conditions are met and you wish to continue with the procedure, click Next.
Note If you are attempting to add an unreachable node, you must first log in to the unreachable node
using a separate CTC session and configure that node. Delete any existing protection groups as
described in “DLP-A155 Delete a Protection Group” task on page 18-23. Delete any existing
DCC terminations as described in the “DLP-A156 Delete a Section DCC Termination” task on
page 18-23 and the “DLP-A359 Delete a Line DCC Termination” task on page 20-45.
Step 6 Choose the name of the new node from the drop-down list. If the node you want to add is not in the
drop-down list, you can type in the name. If you type in the name, make sure it is identical to the actual
node name. The node name is case sensitive.
Step 7 Click Next. The Select Protection Group Ports page (Figure 14-4) appears.

to each terminal node.
