Chapter 1 General Troubleshooting
1.4.6 Perform a Facility Loopback on a Destination-Node Optical Port
e. Leave the Bidirectional check box checked.
f. Click Next.
g. In the Circuit Creation source dialog box, select the same Node, card Slot, Port, and STS (or VT)
where the test set is connected.
h. Click Next.
i. In the Circuit Creation destination dialog box, use the same Node, card Slot, Port, and STS (or VT)
used for the source dialog box.
j. Click Next.
k. In the Circuit Creation circuit routing preferences dialog box, leave all defaults. Click Finish.
Step 4 Confirm that the newly created circuit appears on the Circuits tab list as a two-way circuit.
Note It is normal for the “CLPBKFACILITY (OCN)” condition on page 2-172 to appear during a
loopback setup. The condition clears when you remove the loopback.
Step 5 Create the facility loopback on the destination port being tested:
a. Go to the node view of the destination node:
• Choose View > Go To Other Node from the menu bar.
• Choose the node from the drop-down list in the Select Node dialog box and click OK.
b. In node view, double-click the card that requires the loopback.
c. Click the Maintenance > Loopback > Port tabs.
d. Select OOS,MT from the Admin State column. If this is a multiport card, select the row appropriate
for the desired port.
e. Select Facility from the Loopback Type column. If this is a multiport card, select the row
appropriate for the desired port.
f. Click Apply.
g. Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.
Step 6 Complete the “Test and Clear the Optical Facility Loopback Circuit” procedure on page 1-64.
Test and Clear the Optical Facility Loopback Circuit
Step 1 If the test set is not already sending traffic, send test traffic on the loopback circuit.
Step 2 Examine the traffic received by the test set. Look for errors or any other signal information that the test
set is capable of indicating.
Step 3 If the test set indicates a good circuit, no further testing is necessary with the facility loopback. Clear the
facility loopback from the port:
a. Click the Maintenance > Loopback > Port tabs.
b. Choose None from the Loopback Type column for the port being tested.
c. Choose the appropriate state (IS; OOS,DSBLD; OOS,MT; IS,AINS) from the Admin State column
for the port being tested.
