Chapter 4 Turn Up Network
Configure the test set for the test circuit type you created:
Step 9
DS-1—If you are testing an unmuxed DS-1, you must have a DSX-1 panel or a direct DS-1 interface
•
into the ONS 15327 through the AMP Champ connectors on the MIC. Set the test set for DS-1. For
information about configuring your test set, consult your test set user guide.
DS-3—If you are testing a clear channel DS-3, you must have a DSX-3 panel or a direct DS-3
•
interface into the ONS 15327 through the BNC connectors on the MIC. Set the test set for clear
channel DS-3. For information about configuring your test set, consult your test set user guide.
Verify the integrity of all patch cables that will be used in this test by connecting one end to the test set
Step 10
transmit (Tx) connector and the other end to the test set receive (Rx) connector. If the test set does not
run error-free, check the cable for damage and check the test set to make sure it is set up correctly before
going to the next step.
Create a physical loopback at the circuit destination card. To do so, attach one end of a patch cable to
Step 11
the destination port's transmit (Tx) connector; attach the other end to the destination port's receive (Rx)
connector.
At the circuit source card:
Step 12
Connect the transmit (Tx) connector of the test set to the circuit receive (Rx) connector.
a.
Connect the test set receive (Rx) connector to the circuit transmit (Tx) connector.
b.
Step 13 Verify that the test set displays a clean signal. If a clean signal is not displayed, repeat Steps
12 to make sure the test set and cabling are configured correctly.
Step 14 Inject BIT errors from the test set. Verify that the errors appear on the test set, indicating a complete
end-to-end circuit.
Complete the
Step 15
Step 16 Complete the
group switching.
Step 17 Set up and complete a BER test. Use the existing configuration and follow your site requirements for
length of time. Record the test results and configuration.
Step 18 Remove any loopbacks, switches, or test sets from the nodes after all testing is complete. Refer to the
Cisco ONS 15327 Troubleshooting Guide.
Step 19 Click the Alarms tab. Verify that the network does not have any unexplained alarms. If unexplained
alarms are present, resolve them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15327 Troubleshooting
Guide.
Delete the test circuit. See the
Step 20
Step 21 Display the next linear ADM node in node view and repeat Steps
Step 22 If a node fails any test, repeat the test while verifying correct setup and configuration. If the test fails
again, refer to the next level of support.
After all tests are successfully completed and no alarms exist in the network, the network is ready for
service application.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
