Caution Performing a loopback on an in-service circuit is service-affecting.
Complete the “Create the Terminal Loopback on a Source-Node Ethernet Port” procedure on page 1-72.
Create the Terminal Loopback on a Source-Node Ethernet Port
Step 1 Connect an optical test set to the port you are testing:
Note For specific procedures to connect, set up, and use the test set equipment, consult the
manufacturer.
a. If you just completed the “1.5.1 Perform a Facility Loopback on a Source-Node Ethernet Port”
procedure on page 1-69, leave the optical test set hooked up to the Ethernet port in the source node.
b. If you are starting the current procedure without the optical test set hooked up to the source port,
use appropriate cabling to attach the Tx and Rx terminals of the optical test set to the port you are
testing. Both Tx and Rx connect to the same port.
Step 2 Adjust the test set accordingly. (Refer to manufacturer instructions for test-set use.)
Step 3 Use CTC to set up the terminal loopback on the test port:
a. In node view, click the Circuits tab and click Create.
b. In the Circuit Creation dialog box, choose the type, such as STS, and number, such as 1.
c. Click Next.
