Step 4 In the Create Protection Group dialog box, enter the following:
• Name—Type a name for the protection group. The name can have up to 32 alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z,
0-9) characters. Special characters are permitted. For TL1 compatibility, do not use question marks
(?), backslash (\), or double quote (“) characters.
• Type—Choose 1:1 from the drop-down list.
• Protect Card—Choose the protect card from the drop-down list. The list displays cards available for
1:1 protection. If no cards are available, no cards appear in the list.
After you choose the protect card, the card available for protection appear in the Available Cards list, as
shown in Figure 17-32. If no cards are available, no cards appear. If this occurs, you can not complete
this task until you install the physical cards or preprovision the ONS 15454 slots using the “DLP-A330
Preprovision a Slot” task on page 20-20.

Step 5
From the Available Cards list, choose the card that will be protected by the card selected in the
Protect Card drop-down list. Click the top arrow button to move each card to the Working Cards list.
Step 6 Complete the remaining fields:
• Bidirectional switching—Not available for 1:1 protection.
• Revertive—Check this check box if you want traffic to revert to the working card after failure
conditions remain corrected for the amount of time entered in the Reversion Time field.
• Reversion time—If Revertive is checked, choose the reversion time from the drop-down list. The
range is 0.5 to 12.0 minutes. The default is 5.0 minutes. This is the amount of time that will elapse
before the traffic reverts to the working card after conditions causing the switch are cleared. The
reversion timer starts after conditions causing the switch are cleared.
Step 7 Click OK, then click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.
Step 8 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
