NOTE:
Cross-connections supporting DS1 services may be either STS1 or
VT1.5 cross-connections in DDM-2000 OC-3. Only VT1.5
cross-connections are allowed in DDM-2000 FiberReach. In an OC-3
shelf, use VT1.5 cross-connections for DS1 services if you expect to
cross-connect only a portion of the VT1.5 signals in the STS-1 channel. If
STS1 cross-connections are made at an OC-3 shelf, there is a fixed
mapping of all 28 VT1.5 cross-connections to a specific shelf group [see
ent-crs-sts1 command].
NOTE:
The following commands may be used to delete, enter, and retrieve
cross-connections: dlt-crs-vt1, dlt-crs-sts1 , ent-crs-vt1,
ent-crs-sts1, rtrv-crs-vt1, and rtrv-crs-sts1 . See the
"Commands and Reports" section of each system manual for a
description of commands.
NOTE:
In ring configurations, you should use the following rules in establishing
cross-connections in each ring:
1. All terminating drop connections (including DRI drop and continue,
if present) from the same STS-1 timeslot must be provisioned the
same, either all VT1.5 or STS-1.
2. If all 28 VT1.5s (DS1s) in an STS-1 are being passed through at a
node in a VT1.5 path-switched ring, then the cross-connection may
be provisioned as either a pass-through STS-1 or VT1.5. However,
if you anticipate dropping VT1.5s from the pass-through node in
the future, you should provision the pass-throughs as VT1.5
cross-connections. Provisioning now as a VT1.5 cross-connect will
avoid a hit on traffic if the STS-1 cross-connect has to be converted
to 28 VT1.5 cross-connects to drop DS1s at a later time.
3. On STS-1 path-switched rings, all nodes in the ring must be provi-
sioned as STS-1 cross-connections.
From work order or circuit order, determine the cross-connections [STS-1 or
VT1.5] to be made at each node [pass-through, terminating (drop), and host
OC-3 node(s)] associated with the kind of service being established.
