Administration and Provisioning
8-66 Issue 8.0 July 2002
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).
NOTE:
When a DRI circuit is provisioned in Release 5, the circuit provisioning
audits check the active add cross-connection only for provisioning errors.
To check the standby through cross-connection, a manual switch and then
a reset
must
be performed using the FAULT-Switch-Path-STS3 input.
This switches the through cross-connection to the active state and then
resets the cross-connection to the original standby state. For more
information about circuit provisioning audits, refer to Volume I, Section 9,
"Maintenance Description."
Figure 8-18 shows a worksheet that may be used to record STS-3
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 Volume I, Section 9, "Maintenance Description."
