DLP- E161 Single Shelf Control Card Switch Test

d.In node view, click the Maintenance > Preferred Copy tabs.

e.From the Set Preferred drop-down list, choose Copy B. Click Apply.

f.Remove the SSXC card from Slot 8. (The SSXC card faceplate extends to cover Slot 9.)

g.Verify that the traffic switches to Copy A. You will experience an interruption of less than 50 ms, and after that the test set should remain error free. If not, refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 Troubleshooting Guide.

h.Replace the SSXC card and allow it to recover.

i.Remove the SSXC card from Slot 6. (The SSXC card faceplate extends to cover Slot 7.)

j.Verify that the traffic switches to Copy B. You will experience an interruption of less than 50 ms, and after that the test set should remain error free. If not, refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 Troubleshooting Guide.

k.Replace the SSXC card and allow it to recover.

l.From the Set Preferred drop-down list, choose Copy A. Click Apply.

Step 2 Test the TSC card switch functionality:

a.Make a note of which TSC card is active and which is standby by moving the mouse over the TSC cards on the CTC shelf graphic and viewing the tooltips. TSC cards are installed in Slot 5 and Slot 10.

b.On the shelf graphic, right-click the active TSC card and choose Soft-reset Card from the shortcut menu.

c.In the Resetting Card confirmation dialog box, click Yes. After 20 to 40 seconds, a “lost node connection, changing to network view” message appears.

d.Click OK. On the network view map, the node with the reset TSC card will be gray.

e.After the node icon turns yellow (from 1 to 2 minutes), double-click it. The node will remain yellow because of the UNPROT-SYNCCLK alarm for about 12 minutes. Move the mouse over the TSC cards on the shelf graphic and observe the following in the tooltips:

•The previous standby TSC card is active.

•The previously active TSC card is now standby.

f.Verify that the traffic on the test set connected to the node is still running. If a traffic interruption occurs, do not continue. Refer to your next level of support.

g.Repeat Steps b through f to return the active/standby TSC cards to their configuration at the start of the procedure.

h.Verify that the TSC cards appear as they did in Step a.

Step 3 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
