DDM-2000 OC-3 MULTIPLEXER
From office records, determine the path trace character string for each STS-1
path to be traced (path is between the source and destination network
elements).
6. Use set-trace-sts1:
address:exptrc=ExpectedIncomingPathTrace,trc=OutgoingPathT
race command to provision the near-end Expected Incoming Path Trace
(exptrc) string and near-end Outgoing Path Trace (trc) string.
7. Establish remote login to the far-end STS-1 terminating network element.
Reference: DLP-522
8. Use set-trace-sts1:
address:exptrc=ExpectedIncomingPathTrace,trc=OutgoingPathT
race command at the far-end to provision the Expected Incoming Path Trace
(exptrc) string the same as you did for the trc string at the near-end
terminating element. Provision the Outgoing Path Trace (\f(cotrc\f1) string the
same as you did for the exptrc string at the near-end terminating element.
9. Use rtrv-trace-sts1:address command to retrieve the provisioned
transmit and receive path trace strings for the STS-1 channel being tested.
10. Did the STS-1 Path Trace Report indicate Status: GOOD?
If YES, then proceed to Step 14.
If NO, then continue with Step 11.
11. Did the STS-1 Path Trace Report indicate Status: MISMATCH?
If YES, then proceed to Step 13.
If NO, then continue with Step 12.
12. Indications are that there is no incoming path trace message (Status:
UNAVAILABLE). Verify that both terminating nodes are using BBG4 DS3
circuit packs. Verify cross-connections and terminating addresses at all nodes.
Repeat this test from Step 9.
