Turn Up Node
This chapter explains how to provision a single Cisco ONS 15454 SDH node and turn it up for service,
including node name, date and time, timing references, network attributessuch as IP address and default
router, users and user security, and card protection groups.
If you are provisioning an ONS 15454 SDH for dense wavelengthdivision multiplexing (DWDM) or as
a hybrid node (DWDM and TDM), you will not complete some procedures until directed to do so in
Chapter 5, “Turn Up a DWDM Node.” These procedures are identified in the procedures list in the
following section.

Before You Begin

Complete the procedures applicable to your site plan from the following chapters:
•Chapter 1, “Install the Shelf and FMECs”
•Chapter 2, “Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable”
•Chapter 3, “Connect the PC and Log into the GUI”
This section lists the chapter procedures (NTPs). Turn to a procedure for applicable tasks (DLPs).

procedure if the ONS 15454 SDH will be accessed behind firewalls.
7. NTP-D28 Set Up Timing, page 4-22—Continue with this procedure to set up the node’s SONET
timing references. If you are turning up a DWDM or hybrid node, do not complete this procedure
until directed to do so in Chapter 5, “Turn Up a DWDM Node.”
