Log into CTC and display the BLSR nodes in network view. Verify the following:
Step 2
•
All BLSR spans on the network map are green.
•
On the Alarms tab, no critical or major alarms are present, nor any facility alarms, such as LOS,
LOF, AIS-L, SF, and SD. In a BLSR, these facility conditions may be reported as minor alarms.
•
On the Conditions tab, no ring switches are active.
If trouble is indicated, for example, a major alarm exists, resolve the problem before proceeding.
Step 3
Install the OC-N cards in the ONS 15454 that you will add to the BLSR; use the
Cards" procedure on page
through the node to ensure the cards are functioning properly.
Log into the new node and complete the BLSR setup.

Log into the node that will connect to the new node through its east port (Node 4 in the
example).
Step 6
Switch protection on the east port:
a.
Click the Maintenance > Ring tabs.
b.
From the East Switch list, choose FORCE RING. Click Apply.
Performing a FORCE switch generates a manual switch request on an equipment (MANUAL-REQ)
alarm. This is normal.
Caution
Log into the node that will connect to the new node through its west port (Node 1 in the
Step 7
example).

Following the diagram that you created in Step 1, remove the fiber connections from the two nodes that
will connect directly to the new node.
Remove the east fiber from the node that will connect to the west port of the new node. In the
