Upgrade DDM-2000 OC-3 Ring Network With 
FiberReach OC-3 Shelves to OC-12 Ring Network 
In Service
DO ITEMS BELOW IN ORDER LISTED .  .  .  .   FOR DETAILS, GO TO
1.
!
CAUTION:
Alarms created due to removal of 28-Type OLIUs are 
non-service affecting, except those related to STS3c 0X1 
cross-connected channels which are service affecting.
NOTE:
This procedure is used to convert an OC-3 VT1.5 path 
protected ring network using 28-Type OLIUs to an OC-12 
path protected ring network using 29-Type OLIUs in 
DDM-2000 OC-3 and FiberReach shelves. It is assumed that 
the fiber being used in the current OC-3 ring network will be 
used to build the new OC-12 ring.         
NOTE:
This procedure uses a 4-node OC-3 ring as an example for 
the OC-3 optics to OC-12 optics ring upgrade (Figure 1). 
This upgrade starts at Node 1 and proceeds clockwise. 
Local procedures will have to be written, using the concepts 
of this procedure, to upgrade the particular configuration that 
you have.
NOTE:
FiberReach TARP Release 4 software must be installed in 
FiberReach OC-3 shelves.
