DLP-B172 Change an Optical Port to SDH
Change Port Settings
This chapter explains how to change transmission settings on electrical and optical ports in a Cisco ONS 15327.
Before You Begin
Before performing any of the following procedures, investigate all alarms and clear any trouble conditions. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15327 Troubleshooting Guide as necessary.
Caution 
Changing card or port settings can be service affecting. You should make all changes during a scheduled maintenance window.
This section lists the chapter procedures (NTPs). Turn to a procedure for applicable tasks (DLPs).
1. 88 Modify Line Settings and PM Parameter Thresholds for Electrical Ports—Complete as needed.
2. 89 Modify Line Settings and PM Parameter Thresholds for Optical Ports—Complete as needed.

Step 1 Complete the "DLP-B60 Log into CTC" task at the node where you want to change the card/port settings.
Step 2 Complete the "NTP-B108 Back Up the Database" procedure on page 14-6 to preserve the existing database.
Step 3 Perform either of the following tasks as needed:
• 165 Change Line and Threshold Settings for the DS-1 Ports
• 166 Change Line and Threshold Settings for the DS-3 Ports
Step 4 When you are finished changing the port settings, complete the "NTP-B108 Back Up the Database" procedure on page 14-6.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
DLP-B165 Change Line and Threshold Settings for the DS-1 Ports

Note The ONS 15327 XTC cards provide 14 (XTC-14) or 28 (XTC-28-3) DS-1 ports. Each port operates at 1.544 Mbps. Default thresholds are based on recommendations in GR-820-CORE, Section 4.0.
Step 1 In node view, double-click the XTC card where you want to change the DS-1 line or threshold settings.
Step 2 Click the Provisioning > DS-1 tabs ( Figure 9-1).
Figure 9-1 Provisioning Line Parameters on the DS-1 Ports
Step 3 Depending on the setting you need to modify, click the Line, Line Thresholds, Elect Path Thresholds, VT1.5 Path Threshold, or Alarm Behavior subtab.
Note See "Manage Alarms" for information about the Alarm Behavior subtab.
Step 4 Modify any of the settings found under these subtabs.
For definitions of the line settings, see Table 9-1. For definitions of the line threshold settings, see Table 9-2. For definitions of the electrical path settings, see Table 9-3.
For the factory default settings for the DS-1 ports, see Table C-1.
Step 5 Click Apply.
Step 6 Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for each subtab that has parameters you want to provision.

Before you can change the port type to SDH, ensure the following:
•The EnableSyncMsg and SendDoNotUse fields are unchecked.
•The card is not part of a BLSR or 1+1 protection group.
•The card is not part of an orderwire channel.
•The card is not a SONET DCC termination point.
Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Line tabs.
Step 3 In the Type field, specify the port and choose SDH.
Step 4 Click Apply.
Step 5 If the card is a multiport OC-N card, such as an OC-3, you can repeat Steps 3 and 4 for any other ports on the card.
Step 6 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
