DLP- E160 Verify BLSR Extension Byte Mapping

DLP-E160 Verify BLSR Extension Byte Mapping

Purpose

This task verifies that the extension byte mapping is the same on BLSR

 

trunk (span) cards that will be connected after a node is removed from a

 

BLSR. K3 extension byte mapping is supported on all ONS 15600 OC-48

 

and OC-192 line cards, as well as the ONS 15454 OC-48 AS card.

Tools/Equipment

OC-N cards must be installed at one or both ends of the BLSR span that

 

will be connected.

Security Level

Provisioning or higher

Step 1 In network view, double-click one of the BLSR nodes with OC-N trunk cards that will be reconnected after a BLSR node removal.

Step 2 Double-click one OC-N BLSR trunk card to open the card view.

Step 3 Click the Provisioning > Line tab.

Step 4 Record on paper the byte in the BLSR Ext Byte column.

Step 5 Repeat Steps 2 through 4 for the second OC-N trunk card.

Step 6 If the trunk cards on each end of the new span are not mapped to the same BLSR extension byte, remap the extension byte of the trunk cards at one of the nodes. See the “DLP-E116 Remap the K3 Byte” task on page 17-17.

Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-E161 Single Shelf Control Card Switch Test

Purpose

This task tests the Single Shelf Cross-Connect Card (SSXC) diagnostics

 

and switching functionality of the TSC and SSXC cards.

Tools/Equipment

The test set specified by the acceptance test procedure, connected and

 

configured as specified in the acceptance test procedure.

Step 1 Test the SSXC card switch functionality:

a.Connect the test set to a slot/port on the node.

b.Create a one-way STS48c or STS192c circuit (based on the OC-N card connected in Step a) to monitor with the test set. See Chapter 6, “Create Circuits.”

c.Verify that the test set is alarm and error free.
