Step 4 If you prefer the card type depicted by CTC, complete the “Physically Replace a Traffic Card” procedure
on page 2-273 for the reporting card.
Step 5 If you prefer the card that physically occupies the slot but the card is not in service, does not have circuits
mapped to it, and is not part of a protection group, place the cursor over the provisioned card in CTC
and right-click to choose Delete Card.
The card that physically occupies the slot reboots, and CTC automatically provisions the card type into
that slot.
Note If the card is in service, does have circuits mapped to it, is paired in a working protection scheme,
has DCC communications turned on, or is used as a timing reference, CTC does not allow you
to delete the card.

Caution Before deleting the circuit, ensure that live traffic is not present.
Step 8 If the card is paired in a protection scheme, delete the protection group:
a. Click the Provisioning > Protection tabs.
b. Choose the protection group of the reporting card.
