the uploaded defaults indicate a locked status, this will cause the node to become locked. If a software
load has been customized before a lock is enabled, all lockable provisioning features are permanently
set to the customized NE defaults provided in the load and cannot be changed by any user.
13.3 Provisionable Patchcords
A provisionable patchcord is a user-provisioned link that is advertised by OSPF throughout the network.
Provisionable patchcords, also called virtual links, are needed in the following situations:
• An optical port is connected to a transponder (TXP) or muxponder (MXP) client port provisioned
in transparent mode.
• An optical ITU port is connected to a dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical
channel card.
• Two TXP or MXP trunk ports are connected to a DWDM optical channel card and the generic
communications channel (GCC) is carried transparently through the ring.
• TXP or MXP client and trunk ports are in a regenerator group, the cards are in transparent mode,
and DCC/GCC termination is not available.
Provisionable patchcords are required on both ends of a physical link. The provisioning at each end
includes a local patchcord ID, slot/port information, remote IP address, and remote patchcord ID.
Patchcords appear as dashed lines in CTC network view.
An optical patchcord must be provisioned between an OCH filter and an OCH trunk port. In A manually
provisioned patchcord automatically tunes the transponder (TXP) or muxponder (MXP) trunk as an
OCH filter if the TXP or MXP is set to autoprovisioning at the first tunable wavelength. You can
automatically tune internal and external (virtual link) patchcords in CTC. In TL1, only internal
patchcords can be provisioned.
Table 13-5 lists the supported card combinations for client and trunk ports in a provisionable patchcord.
