■ At node 0, a 1-way drop cross-connection is entered by specifying:

— Source (tributary)

— Source line (line 1E)

— Source STS-3 tributary (tributary 6)

— Source STS-1 tributary (tributary 1)

— Source node TID

(node 3 TID)

— Destination (STS-1 port)

— Destination low-speed interface slot

†

(slot 2B)

— Destination low-speed port (1).

NOTE:

While cross-connections are entered, the FT-2000 OC-48 Add/Drop-Rings

Terminal will report several trouble conditions (for example, circuit

provisioning error and path integrity failure). However,

these trouble conditions should be ignored until all the cross-connections

for a circuit have been entered. If the trouble conditions remain after all the

cross-connections have been entered, refer to the "Operation and

Maintenance (TOP)" section (Volume II).

Figure 8-16 shows a worksheet that may be used to record STS-1

cross-connections at FT-2000 OC-48 Add/Drop-Rings Terminals in a 2-fiber

bidirectional ring.

For more information about entering cross-connections at an FT-2000 OC-48

Add/Drop-Rings Terminal, refer to the CIT Tutorial in Volume I, Section 11, "Craft

Interface Terminal Usage," and the Operation Task Index in the "Operation and

Maintenance (TOP)" section (Volume II). For more information about DRI

protection switching, refer to Section 9, "Maintenance Description."

* Entering a question mark (?) in response to the TID prompt will display a point-and-shoot

list of available addresses in the OC-48 ring. Enter the Retrieve-Map-Ring command to

update the point-and-shoot list.

† If the specified slot is part of a slot pair (for example, slot 1A and 1B) that has been

provisioned for the OC-3 1+1 protected mode, specifying one slot also includes the

companion slot. The same type of logic applies to OC-12 1+1 (Release 7.1 and later

releases) protected mode.
