7. Look at the report, verify that the required slot
does not appear in the cross-connect column. If
a cross-connection is shown, then traffic is
possible at the slot.
Is there a cross-connection shown for the
required protection slot?
If YES, then consult with your supervisor
and make certain that the slot specified in
the work order is correct, is to be used as
the protection link, and that the slot is not
currently supporting traffic. If the slot is sup-
porting traffic, then – either a different slot
must be selected or the traffic must be
moved. STOP! You cannot re-start this
procedure until this issue is resolved.
If NO, then go to Step 14.

8.
NOTE:
At this point you have determined that the
slot is already equipped with an electrical
circuit pack (either a DS3 or STS-1E). You
must still determine whether, or not, the
circuit pack is supporting traffic.
Are coaxial cables already connected to the
DS3/EC-1 circuit pack?
If NO, then it is available, go to Step 11.
If YES, then continue with Step 9.

9. Determine whether the slot already has
cross-connects defined. At the CIT, select the
CONFIGURATION-Retrieve-Crossconnect
-All command for this slot.
