Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Protection tabs.
Step 3 In the Protection Groups area, click Create.
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:N from the drop-down list.
• Protect Card—Choose the protect card from the drop-down list. The list displays DS1N-14,
DS3N-12, or DS3N-12E cards installed in Slots 3 or 15. If these cards are not installed, no cards
appear in the drop-down list.
After you choose the protect card, a list of cards available for protection appear in the Available Cards
list, as shown in Figure 17-33. 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.
