Basic Node Verification Procedures

This chapter describes the procedures for basic node verification.

Before performing the procedures in this chapter, you must install the chassis, power it up, and complete the hardware installation described in Chapter 2, "Hardware Installation Procedures," and complete the software setup and verification tasks described in Chapter 3, "Software Setup Procedures."

Note This chapter contains preliminary procedures for node installation and setup verification and does not cover the final turn-up procedures for an entire network.

Step 1 Verify which channels the 2.5-Gbps transponder module supports.

Look at the front panel of the transponder module and locate the part number. The part number format is 15540-TSP1-ccmz or 15540-TSP2-cc00, where cc indicates the lower channel number of the two channels supported by the transponder module, m indicates multimode (value A) or single-mode (value B), and z is the SC connector (value 3). For example, 15540-TSP1-03B3 is the part number for a single-mode transponder module with an SC connector that supports channels 3 or 4. This transponder module should be connected to either CH3_IN and CH3_OUT or CH4_IN and CH4_OUT ports on the mux/demux module.

Step 2 Verify the current channel configured on the 2.5-Gbps transponder module using the show interfaces wave command.

Switch# show interfaces wave 10/0
Wave10/0 is up, line protocol is up
   Channel: 31   Frequency: 195.8 Thz Wavelength: 1530.33 nm

Step 3 Compare the frequency information with channel frequency supported by the filter interface on the mux/demux module using the show interfaces filter command.

Switch# show interfaces filter 0/0/3
Filter0/0/3 is up, line protocol is up
Patched Interface(s) :Wavepatch10/0/0

Step 1 Power up the OSA and make sure that the OSA wavelength value range is set in the 1530 to 1563 nm range.

Step 2 Connect an OSA to the TRUNK_OUT port on the mux/demux module.

Step 3 Check and record all power levels and frequencies.

Step 4 Compute the minimum transmit power (in dBm) by subtracting the maximum loss (in dBm) from the recorded powers, using Table 4-2 through Table 4-4.

Step 5 Verify that the transmit optical power measurements recorded in Step 3 are greater than the figure computed in Step 4.

Step 6 Loop back the TRUNK_OUT port to the TRUNK_IN port on the mux/demux module with a adequate attenuation.

Caution You must add attenuation to ensure that the optical signal power at the TRUNK_IN port is less than the receiver overload value for the transponder modules (-8 dBm). Use the optical power values measured in Step 4 to determine the amount of attenuation needed on the loopback.

Step 7 For 2.5-Gbps transponder modules, issue show interfaces wave commands to check the optical power.

Note For accurate power transmit levels from the transponder modules, ensure that correct protocol encapsulation and monitoring are configured using the show interfaces transparent command, and that the client equipment connected to the transponder module is sending valid data.

Step 8 For 10-GE transponder modules, issue show interfaces waveethernetphy commands to check the optical power.

Step 9 See the optical budget losses in Table 4-5 through Table 4-9 to compute total losses for connectors and mux/demux modules, in both the transmit and receive directions.

Step 10 Verify that the optical power figure listed in the show interfaces command output is greater than the following calculation:

Minimum Tx power (dBm) - total losses

where

Total losses = maximum link loss (dBm) + attenuation + other insertion losses

Step 11 Repeat Step 7 through Step 10 for each interface.

Step 12 If another mux/demux module is connected to the trunk in the opposite direction, repeat Step 1 through Step 11 for that module.

Step 1 Connect the BER test set transmit port to the receive port of the first transponder interface to be tested.

Note Measure the power level on the BER test set transmit port and use appropriate attenuation.

Step 2 Measure the power level on the ITU TX port on each 2.5-Gbps transponder module using the optical power meter and record the results.

Step 3 Daisy chain the client interfaces with the appropriate attenuation. Connect the client TX port of the first 2.5-Gbps transponder module to the receive port of the BER test set. Connect the client RX port of the last 2.5-Gbps transponder module to the transmit port of the BER test set. See the example in Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1 Example Setup for Testing Bit Error Rate for 2.5-Gbps Transponder Modules

Note You can daisy chain as many as four 2.5-Gbps transponder modules.

Step 4 Loop back the TRUNK_OUT port to the TRUNK_IN port on the mux/demux modules (see the example in Figure 4-1).

Caution Add adequate attenuation, if necessary, to ensure that the optical signal power at the TRUNK_IN port is less than the receiver overload value for the 2.5-Gbps transponder modules (-8 dBm), minus the insertion loss (see Table 4-5, Table 4-7, and Table 4-8). Use the optical power values measured in the "DLP-65 Verify the Power Levels at the DWDM Trunk Signal" task to determine the amount of attenuation needed on the loopback.

Step 5 Issue the encapsulation command on each transparent interface using a SONET protocol encapsulation supported by the client side interface.

Step 6 Set the data rate on the BER test set for the encapsulation configured on the transparent interface.

Step 7 Clear all errors on the BER test set.

Step 8 Start the BER test, and verify that the test runs error free for 15 minutes.

If there are errors within the 15-minute test period, remove the daisy chain configuration and try to isolate the problem by performing the BER test on each individual channel.

Step 9 If the system supports splitter protection, perform the following steps:

a. Issue shutdown commands on the active wavepatch interfaces.

b. Issue no shutdown commands on the standby wavepatch interfaces.

c. Repeat Step 7 through Step 8 on the new active wavepatch interfaces.

Step 10 Issue an encapsulation command or clock rate command on each transparent interface to revert to the original protocol or clock rate.

Two processor cards are required. The processor cards have identical hardware configurations.	Verify that both processor cards have identical configurations such as DRAM size with the show redundancy capability command.
Both processor cards have the same functional image.	Verify after power-up that both processor cards have the same functional image with the show hardware detail command.
Both processor cards are running compatible system images.	Verify that the system images are compatible across one major release with the show version command.
Both the running and startup configurations are automatically synchronized between the processor cards.	Verify that the running and startup configurations are listed as synchronized using the show redundancy command.
Both processor cards are set to autoboot (default setting).	Verify that the configuration register reads 0x2102 using the show version command.
