DLP-A367 Create a Provisionable Patchcord
Note To set up a provisionable patchcord between an optical port and a transponder/muxponder, optical
add/drop multiplexer, or multiplexer/demultiplexer port, the optical port must have an SDCC/LDCC
termination provisioned. If the port is the protection port in a 1+1 group, the working port must have an
SDCC/LDCC termination provisioned. As needed, complete the “DLP-A377 Provision Section DCC
Terminations” task on page 20-61 or “DLP-A378 Provision Line DCC Terminations” task on
page 20-62.
Note An optical port requires two patchcords when the remote end is Y-cable protected or is an optical
add/drop multiplexer or multiplexer/demultiplexer port.
Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Comm Channels > Provisionable Patchcords tabs. If you are
in network view, click the Provisioning > Provisionable Patchcords tabs.
Step 2 Click Create. The Provisionable Patchcord dialog box appears.
