Step 1 Complete the "DLP-44 Install Fiber-Optic Cables for BLSR Configurations" task on page 2-26, verifying that the following rules are observed:
•Verify that the east port at one node is connected to the west port on an adjacent node, and this east to west port connection is used at all BLSR nodes, similar to Figure 5-4. In the figure, the OC-N line card on the left side of the shelf is the west port, and the line card on the right side of the shelf is considered the east port.
•For four-fiber BLSRs, verify that the same east port to west port connection is used for the working and protect fibers, similar to Figure 5-5. Verify that the working and protect card connections are not mixed. The working cards are the cards where you will provision the DCC terminations.
Figure 5-4 Four-node, two-fiber BLSR fiber connection example
Figure 5-5 Four-node, four-fiber BLSR fiber connection example
Step 2 Log into an ONS 15454 that you want to configure in a BLSR. See the "DLP-60 Log into CTC" task for instructions. The node (default) view displays.
Step 3 Complete the "DLP-213 Provision SONET DCC Terminations" task. Provision the two ports/cards that will serve as the BLSR ports at the node. For four-fiber BLSRs, provision the DCC terminations on the OC-N cards that will carry the working traffic, but not the protect cards.
Note If an ONS 15454 is not connected to a corporate LAN, DCC provisioning must be performed through a local craft connection to the node. Remote provisioning is possible only after all nodes in the network have DCC provisioned to in-service OC-N ports.
Step 4 For four-fiber BLSRs, complete the "DLP-214 Change the Service State for a Port" task for the protect OC-N ports.
Step 5 If a BLSR span passes through third-party equipment that cannot transparently transport the K3 byte, complete the "DLP-89 Remap the K3 Byte" task. This task is not necessary for most users.
Step 6 Repeat Steps 2- 4 at each node that will be in the BLSR.
Step 7 Complete the "NTP-126 Create a BLSR" procedure.
DLP-89 Remap the K3 Byte
Purpose
|
Use this task to provision the K3 byte. Do not remap the K3 byte unless specifically required to run an ONS 15454 BLSR through third-party equipment. This task is unnecessary for most users.
|
Tools/Equipment
|
OC48AS cards must be installed on the BLSR span that you will remap.
