Connect Two FT-2000 Rings via an Optical Link
DOITEMSBELOWINORDERLISTED........ FORDETAILS,GOTO
1. Overview: The steps in this procedure detail how to connect two separate
FT-Rings via an OC-3/IS-3/OC-12 link.
NOTE:
For discussion purposes, the two rings are referred to as ring-1 and
ring-2. Figure 1 is an example that serves to illustrate ring-1 and ring-2.
Both rings must be accessible via a CIT (either dial-up or direct
connection). It is assumed that there are enough fibers and that all new
fibers have already been tested and installed. Furthermore, it is also
assumed that the Low Speed shelf in both rings already has an
OC-3/IS-3/OC-12 installed. Should this assumption be incorrect–then
refer to Circuit Order NTP-010 and Circuit Order NTP-012.
Engineering Considerations:
a. It is not necessary that the two separate FT-rings be running the
same release of software.
b. However, in order for DCC communication to functions between
the two FT-rings, both rings must be running compatible OSI stack
releases. Specifically, both rings must be running R6.0 to R7.2
releases, OR, both rings must be running R8.1 or later releases.
c. If transport between the two separate rings is all that is desired
(and no DCC communication for this OC-3 link is desired)–then
there is no restriction that both rings be running compatible OSI
stack releases.
d. Additionally, in order for DCC communication to function between
the two FT-rings, it will be necessary to administer one ring as
“User” side and the other ring as “Network” side.
