Step 6 On the SOCKS Proxy Server Settings page, choose one of the following:
•External Network Element (ENE)—If selected, the CTC computer is only visible to the ONS 15454 to which the CTC computer is connected. The computer is not visible to the data communications channel (DCC)-connected nodes. In addition, firewall is enabled, which means that the node prevents IP traffic from being routed between the DCC and the LAN port.
•Gateway Network Element (GNE)—If selected, the CTC computer is visible to other DCC-connected nodes. The node prevents IP traffic from being routed between the DCC and the LAN port.
•Proxy-only—If selected, the ONS 15454 responds to CTC requests with a list of DCC-connected nodes for which the node serves as a proxy. The CTC computer is visible to other DCC-connected nodes. The node does not prevent traffic from being routed between the DCC and LAN port.
Step 7 Click Finish.

Step 3 Remove the physical pass-through cabling. Click the Provisioning > WDM-ANS > Connections tabs to identify the card ports to be removed. The pass-through connection that you are removing can be connected in both OADM and hub nodes.
•For a hub node—Connect the 32DMX-O or 32DMX output port to the 32MUX-O input port.
•For an OADM node—Connect the AD-xC-xx.x drop (TX) port to the AD-xC-xx.x add (RX) port.
Step 4 Physically connect the proper client interface to the correct add and drop ports.
Step 5 Delete the filter connections related to the pass-through connection that is being converted to an add/drop connection:
a. In node view, click the Provisioning > WDM-ANS > Port Status tabs.
b. Highlight the pass-through connections between ITU channel add and drop ports filters.
c. Click Delete.
Step 6 Create two new unidirectional OCHNCs (one heading east, the other heading west) to support the new add/drop channels. See the "DLP-G105 Provision DWDM Optical Channel Network Connections" task on page 7-10.
Step 7 As necessary, complete the "DLP-G99 Create a Provisionable Patchcord" task on page 6-10.
Step 8 As necessary, add an optical attenuator between the channel TX port of the OADM, 4MD-xx.x, or 32DMX-O card and the DWDM RX port on the TXP, MXP, or OC-N line card.
Note If the channel is coming from a 32DMX-O, the optical power can be adjusted in CTC by modifying the value of the internal per-channel VOA.
Step 9 (Optional) The following verification steps might be needed for an intermediate node when a pass-through connection is converted:
a. Verify that the received channels are at the specified power level. See the "G76 Verify Span Loss" procedure for instructions.
b. Verify that the added channels are equalized with the express channels within +/-1 dB.
c. If the channels are not equalized with the express channels within +/-1 dB, check the attenuation of the VOAs.
d. Check all the fiber adapters to minimize their insertion losses. See the "NTP-G115 Clean Fiber Connectors" procedure on page 12-22 for instructions.

Step 3 Click the Provisioning > Timing > General tabs.
Step 4 In the General Timing section, change any of the following information:
•Timing Mode
Note Because mixed timing can cause timing loops, Cisco does not recommend using the Mixed Timing option. Use this mode with care.
•SSM Message Set
•Quality of RES
•Revertive
•Revertive Time
See the "NTP-G53 Set Up Timing" task on page 6-3 for field descriptions.
Step 5 In the Reference Lists area, you can change the following information:
Note Reference lists define up to three timing references for the node and up to six BITS Out references. BITS Out references define the timing references used by equipment that can be attached to the node's BITS Out pins on the backplane. If you attach equipment to BITS Out pins, you normally attach it to a node with Line mode because equipment near the external timing reference can be directly wired to the reference.
•NE Reference
•BITS 1 Out
•BITS 2 Out
Step 6 In the BITS In area on the BITS Facilities tab, you can change the following information:
Note The BITS Facilities section sets the parameters for your BITS1 and BITS2 timing references. Many of these settings are determined by the timing source manufacturer. If equipment is timed through BITS Out, you can set timing parameters to meet the requirements of the equipment.
•BITS In State
•Coding
•Framing
•Sync Messaging
•Admin SSM
Step 7 In the BITS Out area, you can change the following information.
Note If Coding, Framing, or AIS Threshold is set in the BITS In area, it cannot be changed here.
•BITS Out State
•Coding
•Framing
•AIS Threshold
•LBO
Step 8 Click Apply. Confirm that the changes appear.
Caution Internal timing is Stratum 3 and is not intended for permanent use. All ONS 15454s should be timed to a Stratum 2 or better primary reference source.
