DLP-F300 Install Fiber-Optic Cables for SNCP Configurations

Caution To avoid loss of traffic, do not create an SNCP using two ports on the same card. You can create an SNCP
on different ports on the same side of the shelf, but Cisco recommends using one port on one side of the
shelf and another port on the opposite side.
Note See Table16-1 on page 16-19 and Table 16-2 on page 16-19 for OGI connector pinouts of STM-16 and
STM-64 cards.
Step1 Plug the fiber into the transmit (Tx) connector of an STM-N card at one node and plug the other end of
the fiber into the receive (Rx) connector of an STM-N card at the adjacent node. The card will display
an SF LED if the transmit and receive fibers are mismatched (one fiber connects a receive port on one
card to a receive port on another card, or the same situation with transmit ports).
Step2 Repeat Step 1 until you have configured the ring.
Step3 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
Purpose This task installs the fiber-optic cables to the SNCP ports at each node. See
Chapter 5, “Turn Up a Network.” to provision and test SNCP
configurations.
