DLP- D297 Perform a Manual Span Upgrade on an Unprotected Span

Step 9 Verify that the transmit signal falls within the acceptable range. See Table 2-4 on page 2-17for STM-N card transmit and receive levels.

Step 10 Complete the “NTP-D19 Install Fiber-Optic Cables on Optical Cards” procedure on page 2-16to attach the fiber to the cards. Wait for the IMPROPRMVL alarm to clear and the cards to become active.

Step 11 When cards on each end of the span have been successfully upgraded and all the facility alarms (LOS, SD, or SF) are cleared, remove the Force switch:

a.In node view, click the Maintenance > Protection tabs.

b.In the Protection Groups area, click the protection group that contains the card/port you want to clear.

c.In the Selected Group area, click the card you want to clear.

d.In the Switch Commands area, choose Clear.

e.Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.

Step 12 Repeat this task for any other spans in the 1+1 linear configuration.

Step 13 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
