Note The Back button is not enabled in the wizard. You can click the Cancel button at this point and
choose the Yes button if you want to cancel the upgrade protection procedure. If the procedure
fails after you have physically moved the fiber-optic cables, you will need to restore the cables
to the original positions and verify through CTC that traffic is on the working path of the nodes
before restarting the process. To check traffic status, go to node view and click the Maintenance
> Protection tabs. In the Protection Groups area, click the 1+1 protection group. You can see
the status of the traffic in the Selected Group area.

working path between nodes and forcing the traffic back to the working path.
Step 15 The Force Traffic to Working Path page states that it is about to force the traffic from the protect to
working path for the terminal nodes. When you are ready to proceed, click Next.
