Note This procedure creates an optical loopback on the OPT-BST or OPT-BST-E line. An optical signal is sent from the 32WSS input (add) to the OPT-BST or OPT-BST-E common receive (RX) and back out the OPT-BST or OPT-BST-E transmit (TX) line. The OPT-BST or OPT-BST-E line receives the looped signal from the OPT-BST or OPT-BST-E TX. It then passes the signal to the OPT-BST or OPT-BST-E common TX and into the OPT-PRE common RX. The OPT-PRE sends the signal to the 32DMX. The optical signal from the tunable laser or TXP_MR_10E_C must pass successfully through the 32WSS and out the 32DMX.
Note Optical power measurements require either a tunable laser or a multirate transponder to generate the proper optical wavelength. If multirate transponders were installed during completion of Chapter 3, "Turn Up a Node," they can be used for this procedure. No additional cabling changes are needed.
Step 1 Complete the "DLP-G46 Log into CTC" task at the terminal node that you want to test. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 Display the terminal node in node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode).
Step 3 Click the Alarms tab.
a. Verify that the alarm filter is not on. See the "DLP-G128 Disable Alarm Filtering" task as necessary.
b. Verify that no equipment alarms (indicated by EQPT in the Cond column) appear indicating equipment failure or other hardware problems. If equipment failure alarms appear, investigate and resolve them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide for procedures.
Note If OSC terminations are created, an OSC channel alarm will appear.
Step 4 In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the Provisioning > WDM-ANS > Port Status tabs. Verify that all statuses under Link Status are listed as Success - Changed, Success - Unchanged, or Not Applicable. If any are not, or if errors (indicated in red) appear, delete the OSC channels and complete the "NTP-G37 Run Automatic Node Setup" procedure on page 3-83. Provision the OSC channels when complete.
Step 5 Create a physical loopback on the OPT-BST, OPT-BST-E, or OSC-CSM card by using a patchcord with 10-dB bulk attenuators to connect the LINE TX port to the LINE RX port.
Note On ANSI shelves, an EOC DCC Termination Failure alarm will appear due to the OSC signal loopback. This is observed as an alarm on Port 1 of the OSCM or OSC-CSM card.
Step 6 Wait approximately two minutes, then verify that the OSC link is active on the west OSCM or OSC-CSM card by observing whether or not the loss of signal (LOS) alarm on the OSCM or OSC-CSM (and the OPT-BST or OPT-BST-E card, if present) clears. (The OSC termination must already be provisioned. If not, complete the "NTP-G38 Provision OSC Terminations" procedure on page 3-84.)
Step 7 If you are using a tunable laser, follow the manufacturer's instructions to complete the following steps. If you are using a TXP_MR_10E_C card, continue with Step 8.
a. Set the output power to a nominal value, such as -3 dBm.
b. Set the tuner to the wavelength you will test, then continue with Step 9.
Step 8 If you are using a TXP_MR_10E_C card, complete the "DLP-G268 Provision TXP_MR_10E_C Cards for Acceptance Testing" task for the TXP containing the wavelength you will test. Refer to Table 4-1, if needed.
Step 9 Connect the tunable laser transmitter or the TXP_MR_10E_C card DWDM TX port to the CHAN RX 01 port on the 32WSS card using the available patch panel.
Note The tunable laser minimum output optical power (Pout) must be -6 dBm. If the output power is lower than -6 dBm, the 32WSS card might not reach the provisioned setpoint.
Step 10 Display the 32WSS card in card view.
Step 11 Click the Provisioning > Optical Chn Optical Connectorn > Parameters tabs, where n = the optical connector number that carries the wavelengths you will test. Refer to Table 4-1, if needed.
Step 12 Click the Admin State table cell for the add (CHAN-RX) port carrying the tested wavelength, then choose OOS,MT (ANSI) or Locked,maintenance (ETSI) from the drop-down list. For example, if the tested wavelength is 1530.33 nm (shown as 1530.3), you would click the Port 1 (CHAN-RX) Admin State field and choose OOS,MT or Locked,maintenance from the drop-down list.
Step 13 Change the administrative state of the pass-through port corresponding to the port in Step 9 to OOS,MT (ANSI) or Locked,maintenance (ETSI). For example, if the tested wavelength is 1530.33 nm (shown as 1530.3), you would click the Port 33 (PASS-THROUGH) Admin State field and choose OOS,MT or Locked,maintenance from the drop-down list. Refer to Table 4-1, if needed.

NTP-G153 Perform the Terminal Node with 32WSS-L and 32DMX-L Cards Acceptance Test
Purpose
|
This acceptance test verifies that a terminal node provisioned for L-band wavelengths is operating properly before you connect it to the network. The test verifies that each add/drop and pass-through port on the 32WSS-L and 32DMX-L cards operates properly and verifies the operation of the amplifiers. The test also checks the power levels at each transmit and receive port to ensure that power loss in the cabling is within tolerance. If MMU cards are installed, the test verifies that the MMU insertion loss doesn't impact add, drop, or pass-through circuits.

Note Optical power measurements require either a tunable laser or a multirate transponder to generate the proper optical wavelength. If multirate transponders were installed during completion of Chapter 3, "Turn Up a Node," they can be used for this procedure. No additional cabling changes are needed.
Note This procedure creates an optical loopback on the OPT-BST-L line. An optical signal is sent from the 32WSS-L input (add) to the OPT-BST-L common RX and back out the OPT-BST-L TX line. The OPT-BST-L line receives the looped signal from the OPT-BST-L TX. It then passes the signal to the OPT-BST-L common TX and into the OPT-AMP-L (when provisioned in OPT-PRE mode) common RX. The OPT-AMP-L card sends the signal to the 32DMX-L card. The optical signal from the tunable laser or TXP_MR_10E_L card must pass successfully through the 32WSS-L card and out the 32DMX-L card.
Step 1 Complete the "DLP-G46 Log into CTC" task at the hub or terminal node that you want to test. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 Display the terminal node in node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode).
Step 3 Click the Alarms tab.
a. Verify that the alarm filter is not on. See the "DLP-G128 Disable Alarm Filtering" task as necessary.
b. Verify that no equipment alarms appear indicating equipment failure or other hardware problems. (Equipment alarms are indicated by an EQPT in the Alarms tab Cond column.) If equipment failure alarms appear, investigate and resolve them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide for procedures.
Note If OSC terminations are created, an OSC channel alarm will appear.
Step 4 In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the Provisioning > WDM-ANS > Port Status tabs. Verify that all statuses under Link Status are listed as Success - Changed, Success - Unchanged, or Not Applicable. If any are not, or if errors (indicated in red) appear, delete the OSC channels and complete the "NTP-G37 Run Automatic Node Setup" procedure on page 3-83. Provision the OSC channels when complete.
Step 5 Create a physical loopback on the OPT-BST-L, OCSM, or OSC-CSM card by using a patchcord with 10-dB bulk attenuators to connect the LINE TX port to the LINE RX port.
Note On ANSI shelves, an EOC DCC Termination Failure alarm will appear due to the OSC signal loopback. This is observed as an alarm on Port 1 of the OSCM or OSC-CSM card.
Step 6 Wait approximately two minutes, then verify that the OSC link is active on the west OSCM or OSC-CSM card by observing whether or not the LOS alarm on the OSCM or OSC-CSM card (and the OPT-BST-L card, if present) clears. (The OSC termination must already be provisioned. If not, complete the "NTP-G38 Provision OSC Terminations" procedure on page 3-84.)
Step 7 If you are using a tunable laser, follow the manufacturer's instructions to complete the following steps. If you are using a TXP_MR_10E_L card, continue with Step 8.
a. Set the output power to a nominal value, such as -3 dBm.
b. Set the tuner to the wavelength you will test, then continue with Step 9.
Step 8 If you are using a TXP_MR_10E_L card, complete the "DLP-G358 Provision TXP_MR_10E_L Card for Acceptance Testing" task for the TXP containing the wavelength you will test.
Step 9 Connect the tunable laser transmitter or the TXP_MR_10E_L card DWDM TX port to the CHAN RX 01 port on the 32WSS-L card using the available patch panel.
Note The tunable laser minimum Pout must be -6 dBm. If the output power is lower than -6 dBm, the 32WSS-L card might not reach the provisioned setpoint.
Step 10 Display the 32WSS-L card in card view.
Step 11 Click the Provisioning > Optical Chn Optical Connectorn > Parameters tabs, where n = the optical connector number that carries the wavelengths you will test. Refer to Table 4-2, if needed.
Step 12 Click the Admin State table cell for the add (CHAN-RX) port carrying the tested wavelength, then choose OOS,MT (ANSI) or Locked,maintenance (ETSI) from the drop-down list. For example, if the tested wavelength is 1577.86 nm (shown as 1577.8), you would click the Port 1 (CHAN-RX) Admin State field and choose OOS,MT or Locked,maintenance from the drop-down list.
Step 13 Change the administrative state of the pass-through port corresponding to the port in Step 9 to OOS,MT (ANSI) or Locked,maintenance (ETSI). For example, if the tested wavelength is 1577.86 nm (shown as 1577.86), you would click the Port 33 (PASS-THROUGH) Admin State field and choose OOS,MT or Locked,maintenance from the drop-down list. Refer to Table 4-2, if needed.

Note Optical power measurements require either a tunable laser or a multirate transponder to generate the proper optical wavelength. If multirate transponders were installed during completion of Chapter 3, "Turn Up a Node," they can be used for this procedure. No additional cabling changes are needed.
Note Because the node is isolated and no line-side fibers are connected during the test, the power levels going into the line-side cards will not be the same as the levels after the node is connected to the network. Therefore, if the ROADM shelf does not contain OPT-BST or OPT-BST-E and OPT-PRE amplifiers on both the east and west sides, you must lower the OPT-PRE power thresholds so that it turns on properly. At the end of the test, you will run automatic node setup (ANS) to configure the node with the correct parameters for the network acceptance test.
Note Throughout this procedure, west refers to Slots 1 through 8, and east refers to Slots 10 through 17.
Step 1 Make a copy of Table 4-1 and place it in a convenient location for reference throughout this procedure. The table shows the 32WSS ports and the wavelengths assigned to them. The 32 wavelengths are divided among four physical multi-fiber push on (MPO) connectors on the 32WSS card. Each MPO connector is assigned eight wavelengths. In CTC, the MPO connector appears in the card view Provisioning > Optical Connector tab. Each Optical Connector subtab represents an MPO connector. Ports 1 through 32 are the RX (add) ports; Ports 33 through 64 are the pass-through ports.

DLP-G310 Verify ROADM Node C-Band Pass-Through Channels
Purpose
|
This task verifies the signal flow through a ROADM node for C-band pass-through channels. Pass-through channels pass through both 32WSS cards. The channels pass through the first 32WSS from the COM-RX port to the EXP-TX port. In the second 32WSS, the channel goes from the EXP-RX port to the COM-TX port. The channel is not terminated inside the node. If MMU cards are installed, the channel passes through the MMU COM-RX and EXP-TX ports to the 32WSS COM-RX and EXP-TX ports on one side. On the other side, the channel goes from the 32WSS EXP-RX and COM-TX ports to the MMU EXP-RX and COM-TX ports.

NTP-G154 Perform the ROADM Node with 32WSS-L and 32DMX-L Cards Acceptance Test
Purpose
|
This acceptance test verifies that a ROADM node provisioned for L-band wavelengths is operating properly before you connect it to the network. The test verifies that each add/drop and pass-through port on the 32WSS-L and 32DMX-L card operates properly and verifies the operation of the amplifiers. The test also checks the power levels at each transmit and receive port to ensure that power loss in the cabling is within tolerance. If MMU cards are installed, the test verifies that the MMU insertion loss doesn't impact add, drop, or pass through traffic.

Tools/Equipment
|
One of the following:
•A tunable laser
•TXP_MR_10E_L
An optical power meter or optical spectrum analyzer
2 bulk attenuators (10 dB) with LC connectors

Note Optical power measurements require either a tunable laser or a multirate transponder to generate the proper optical wavelength. If multirate transponders were installed during completion of Chapter 3, "Turn Up a Node," they can be used for this procedure. No additional cabling changes are needed.
Note Because the node is isolated and no line-side fibers are connected during the test, the power levels going into the line-side components will not be the same as they would be in a real network setup. Therefore, if the ROADM shelf does not contain OPT-BST-L and OPT-AMP-L (provisioned in OPT-PRE mode) amplifiers on both the east and west sides, you must lower the OPT-AMP-L power thresholds so that it turns on properly. At the end of the test, you will run ANS to configure the node with the correct parameters for the network acceptance test.
Step 1 Make a copy of Table 4-2 and place it in a convenient location for reference throughout this procedure. The table shows the 32WSS-L ports and the wavelengths assigned to them. The 32 wavelengths are divided among four physical multi-fiber push on (MPO) connectors on the 32WSS-L card. Each MPO connector is assigned eight wavelengths. In CTC, the MPO connector appears in the card view Provisioning > Optical Connector tab. Each Optical Connector subtab represents an MPO connector. Ports 1 through 32 are the channel RX (add) ports; Ports 33 through 64 are the Pass-Through ports.

DLP-G362 Verify ROADM Node L-Band Pass-Through Channels
Purpose
|
This task verifies the signal flow through a ROADM node for L-band pass-through channels. Configuring a channel pass-through mode means that the channel passes through both 32WSS-L cards. The channel passes through the first 32WSS-L from the COM RX port to the EXP TX port. In the second 32WSS-L, the channel goes from the EXP RX port to the COM TX port. The channel is not terminated inside the node. If MMU cards are installed, the channel passes through the MMU COM RX and EXP TX ports to the 32WSS-L COM RX and EXP TX ports on one side. On the other side, the channel goes from the 32WSS-L EXP RX and 32WSS-L COM TX ports to the MMU EXP RX and COM TX.

Note Optical power measurements require either a tunable laser or a multirate transponder to generate the proper optical wavelength. If multirate transponders were installed during completion of Chapter 3, "Turn Up a Node," they can be used for this procedure. No additional cabling changes are needed.
Note Because the node is isolated and no line-side fibers are connected during the test, the power levels going into the line-side cards will not be the same as the levels when the node is connected to the network. Therefore, if the line amplifier shelf does not contain OPT-BST or OPT-BST-E and OPT-PRE amplifiers on both the east and west sides, you must lower the OPT-PRE power thresholds so that it turns on properly. At the end of the test, you will run automatic node setup (ANS) to configure the node with the correct parameters for the network acceptance test.
Step 1 Complete the "DLP-G46 Log into CTC" task at the node where you want to perform the acceptance test. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 If you are using TXP_MR_10E_C cards, complete the "DLP-G268 Provision TXP_MR_10E_C Cards for Acceptance Testing" task. If not, continue with Step 3.
Step 3 Display the terminal node in node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode).
Step 4 Click the Alarms tab.
a. Verify that the alarm filter is not on. See the "DLP-G128 Disable Alarm Filtering" task as necessary.
b. Verify that no equipment alarms appear indicating equipment failure or other hardware problems. (Equipment alarms are indicated by an EQPT in the Alarms tab Cond column.) If alarms appear, investigate and resolve them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide for procedures.
Note The OSC terminations created during node turn-up will generate two alarms for each side of the shelf, one for an LOS on the OPT-BST or OPT-BST-E card, and the other for an LOS on the OSC-CSM or OSCM card.
Step 5 In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the Provisioning > WDM-ANS > Port Status tabs. Verify that all statuses under Link Status are listed as Success - Changed, Success - Unchanged, or Not Applicable. If any are not, complete the following:

Note Optical power measurements require either a tunable laser or a multirate transponder to generate the proper optical wavelength. If multirate transponders were installed during completion of Chapter 3, "Turn Up a Node," they can be used for this procedure. No additional cabling changes are needed.
Step 1 Complete the "DLP-G46 Log into CTC" task at the OADM node where you want to perform the acceptance test. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 3 Click the Alarms tab.
a. Verify that the alarm filter is not on. See the "DLP-G128 Disable Alarm Filtering" task as necessary.
b. Verify that no equipment alarms appear indicating equipment failure or other hardware problems. (Equipment alarms are indicated by an EQPT in the Alarms tab Cond column.) If equipment failure alarms appear, investigate and resolve them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide for procedures.
Step 4 In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the Provisioning > WDM-ANS > Port Status tabs. Verify that all statuses under Link Status are Success - Changed, Success - Unchanged, or Not Applicable. If not, complete the "NTP-G37 Run Automatic Node Setup" procedure on page 3-83.
Step 5 Check your Cisco MetroPlanner site configuration file to verify the presence of added and dropped bands (including four channels at 100 GHz) configured in pass-through mode in either direction.
Note Configuring a band in pass-through mode means that the band is dropped in one direction by an AD-xB-xx.x card on one side (east or west) of the node, then added by another AD-xB-x.xx card on the opposite side in the same direction. The band is not terminated inside the node.
Step 6 If no bands are configured in pass-through mode, continue with Step 7. If a band is configured in pass-through mode, mark it and skip the related optical test for the express, add, and drop sections. Band pass-through connections are verified separately.
Step 7 Check the site configuration file from Cisco MetroPlanner to verify the presence of dropped or added channels configured in pass-through mode in either direction.
Note Configuring a channel in pass-through mode means that the channel is dropped in one direction by an AD-xC-xx.x card on one side (east or west) of the node, then added by another AD-xC-x.xx card on the opposite side in the same direction. The channel is not terminated inside the node.
Step 8 If no channels are configured in pass-through mode, continue with Step 9. If a channel is configured in pass-through mode, mark it and skip the related optical test for the express, add, and drop sections. Channel pass-through connections are verified separately.
Step 9 Create a loopback on the west OPT-BST or OPT-BST-E card by connecting the LINE TX port to the LINE RX port using a patchcord and 10-dB bulk attenuator.
Step 10 Verify that the OSC link becomes active on the west OSCM card. (The OSC termination must be already provisioned. If not, complete the "NTP-G38 Provision OSC Terminations" procedure on page 3-84.) If the OSC link becomes active, continue with Step 11. If the OSC link does not turn up, complete the following steps:
a. Modify the OSC Fail Low thresholds. Click the Provisioning > Optical Line > Optics Thresholds tabs and change the Port 4 opwrMin (minimum power) to -40 dBm.
b. Modify the COM TX Fail Low Threshold. Change the Port 2 opwrMin (minimum power) to -30 dBm.
c. If the OSC link turns up, continue with Step 11. If the OSC link is still down, disconnect the OSCM card from the OPT-BST or OPT-BST-E card.
d. Create a loopback on the OSCM card by connecting patch cable from the OSC TX port to the OSC RX port using a 10-dB bulk attenuator.
e. If the OSC link turns up, replace the OPT-BST or OPT-BST-E card. If the OSC link does not turn up, replace the OSCM card.
Note Due to the OSC signal loopback, on ANSI shelves, an EOC DCC Termination Failure alarm might be raised.
Step 11 If the node has express bands or channels, complete the "DLP-G85 Verify Express Channel Connections on an OADM Node with OSCM Cards" task. If the node does not have express bands or channels, continue with Step 12.
Step 12 If connections configured in pass-through mode are present (noted in Steps 6 and 8), complete the "DLP-G89 Verify OADM Node Pass-Through Channel Connections" task. If not, continue with Step 13.
Step 13 If connections have add/drop connections, complete the "DLP-G93 Verify Add and Drop Connections on an OADM Node with OSCM Cards" task.

Note Optical power measurements require either a tunable laser or a multirate transponder to generate the proper optical wavelength. If multirate transponders were installed during completion of Chapter 3, "Turn Up a Node," they can be used for this procedure. No additional cabling changes are needed.
Step 1 Complete the "DLP-G46 Log into CTC" task at the OADM node where you want to perform the acceptance test. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 3 Click the Alarms tab.
a. Verify that the alarm filter is not on. See the "DLP-G128 Disable Alarm Filtering" task as necessary.
b. Verify that no equipment alarms appear indicating equipment failure or other hardware problems. (Equipment alarms are indicated by an EQPT in the Alarms tab Cond column.) If equipment failure alarms appear, investigate and resolve them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide for procedures.
Step 4 In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the Provisioning > WDM-ANS > Port Status tabs. Verify that all statuses under Link Status are Success - Changed, Success - Unchanged, or Not Applicable. If not, complete the "NTP-G37 Run Automatic Node Setup" procedure on page 3-83.
Step 5 Check the Cisco MetroPlanner site configuration file to verify the presence of added and dropped bands (including 4 channels at 100 GHz) configured in pass-through mode in either direction.
Note Configuring a band in pass-through mode means that the band is dropped in one direction by an AD-xB-xx.x card on one side (east or west) of the node, then added by another AD-xB-x.xx card on the opposite side in the same direction. The band is not terminated inside the node.
Step 6 If no bands are configured in pass-through mode, continue with Step 7. If a band is configured in pass-through mode, mark it and skip the related optical test for the express, add, and drop sections. Band pass-through connections are verified separately.
Step 7 Check the site configuration file from Cisco MetroPlanner to verify the presence of dropped or added channels configured in pass-through mode in either direction.
Note Configuring a channel in pass-through mode means that the channel is dropped in one direction by an AD-xC-xx.x card on one side (east or west) of the node, then added by another AD-xC x.xx card on the opposite side in the same direction. The channel is not terminated inside the node.
Step 8 If no channels are configured in pass-through mode, continue with Step 9. If a channel is configured in pass-through mode, mark it and skip the related optical test for the express, add, and drop sections. Channel pass-through connections are verified separately.
Step 9 Create a loopback on the west OSC-CSM card by connecting the LINE TX port to the LINE RX port using a patchcord and a 10-dB bulk attenuator.
Step 10 Verify that the OSC link becomes active on the west OSC-CSM card. (The OSC termination must be already provisioned. If not, complete the "NTP-G38 Provision OSC Terminations" procedure on page 3-84.)
Note Due to the OSC signal loopback, on ANSI shelves, an EOC DCC Termination Failure alarm might be raised.
Step 11 If the OSC link becomes active, continue with Step 12. If the OSC link does not turn up, perform the following troubleshooting steps:
a. Remove the 10-dB bulk attenuator between the LINE TX and LINE RX connection. If the OSC link becomes active, continue with Step 12. If not, continue with Step b.
b. Modify the OSC Fail Low thresholds. Click the Provisioning > Optical Line > Optics Thresholds tabs and change the Port 6 opwrMin (minimum power) to -40 dBm.
c. Modify the COM TX Fail Low Threshold. Change the Port 3 opwrMin (minimum power) to -30 dBm.
d. If the OSC link turns up, continue with Step 12. If it does not turn up, replace the OSC-CSM card.
Step 12 If the node has express bands or channels, complete the "DLP-G86 Verify Express Channel Connections on an OADM Node with OSC-CSM Cards" task. If the node does not have express bands or channels, continue with Step 13.
Step 13 If connections configured in pass-through mode are present (noted in Steps 6 and 8), complete the "DLP-G89 Verify OADM Node Pass-Through Channel Connections" task. If not, continue with Step 14.
Step 14 If connections have add/drop connections, complete the "DLP-G94 Verify Add and Drop Connections on an OADM Node with OSC-CSM Cards" task.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.

Step 1 Based on the Cisco MetroPlanner site configuration file, tune the tunable laser or TXP_MR_10E_C card to a wavelength (belonging to the 100-GHz ITU-T grid) of the channel running on the first add path of the first west AD-xC-xx.x or west 4MD-xx.x card on the east-to-west direction. Refer to the tunable laser manufacturer's documentation or the "DLP-G268 Provision TXP_MR_10E_C Cards for Acceptance Testing" task.
Step 2 Connect the tunable laser transmitter or the TXP_MR_10E_C card DWDM TX port to the corresponding 15xx.x RX port (on the card front panel) of the west AD-xC-xx.x or 4MD-xx.x card.
Step 3 Verify the west AD-xC-xx.x or 4MD-xx.x (east-to-west):
a. Display the west AD-xC-xx.x or 4MD-xx.x card in card view.
b. Click the Provisioning > Optical Chn > Parameters tabs.
c. Change the administrative state of the CHAN RX port to OOS,MT (ANSI) or Locked,maintenance (ETSI) for the channel related to the wavelength selected on the tunable laser.
d. Verify that the Power value of the CHAN RX port reaches the provisioned setpoint (VOA Power Ref).
Step 4 Complete the "DLP-G80 Verify the OPT-PRE Amplifier Laser and Power" task on the west OPT-PRE amplifier to verify that the added wavelength turns on the laser.
Step 5 If the add connection uses a 4MD-xx.x card, continue with Step 6. If the add connection uses an AD-xC-xx.x card, move to Step 10.
Step 6 Verify the west AD-xB-xx.x:
a. Display the west AD-xB-xx.x card in card view.
b. Click the Provisioning > Optical Band > Parameters tabs.
c. Change the administrative state of the BAND TX port to OOS,MT (ANSI) or Locked,maintenance (ETSI) for the channel related to the wavelength selected on the tunable laser.
d. Verify that the Power value of the BAND TX port is higher than the default no-power value of -30 dBm.
Step 7 Display the related AD-xB-xx.x card (west-to-east direction) in card view.
Step 8 Change the administrative state of the drop BAND TX port related to the wavelength selected on the tunable laser to OOS,MT (ANSI) or Locked,maintenance (ETSI).
Step 9 Connect a power meter to the proper 15xx.xs TX port on the front panel (the dual port compared with the port where the tunable laser is connected). Verify that the physical optical power value from that port is consistent with the value displayed on the Provisioning > Optical Chn > Parameters tab for the proper CHAN TX power value, +/- 0.5 dB.
Step 10 Verify the west AD-xC-xx.x (west-to-east) card:
a. Display the west AD-xC-xx.x card in card view.
b. Click the Provisioning > Optical Chn > Parameters tabs.
c. Verify that the Power value of the CHAN TX port is higher than the default no-power value of -35 dBm.

e. Click the Provisioning > Optical Chn > Parameters tabs.
f. Verify that the power value for the CHAN TX port is higher than the default no-power value of -35 dBm.
g. If the AD-xC-xx.x card is an AD-4C-xx.x card, a VOA (applied to all four channels) is installed along the drop path and needs to be activated in Step h.
h. Change the administrative state of the CHAN TX port related to the wavelength selected on the tunable laser to OOS,MT (ANSI) or Locked,maintenance (ETSI). Click Apply.
i. Perform the output power check.
Step 11 Connect a power meter to the proper 15xx.xx TX port on the front panel (the dual port compared with the port where the tunable laser is connected). Verify that the physical optical power value from that port is consistent with the value on Provisioning > Optical Chn > Parameters tab for the proper CHAN TX power value, +/- 0.5 dB.
Step 12 Repeat Steps 10 through 11 for all add paths of any west AD-xC-xx.x cards along the east-to-west direction.
Step 13 Remove the loopback on the west OSC-CSM card.
Step 14 In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the Provisioning > WDM-ANS > Port Status tabs.
Step 15 Click Launch ANS.
Step 16 Create a loopback on the east OSC-CSM card by connecting the OSC-CSM LINE RX and LINE TX ports using a patchcord and 10-dB bulk attenuator.
Step 17 Verify that the OSC link becomes active on the west OSC-CSM card. (The OSC termination must be already provisioned. If not, complete the "NTP-G38 Provision OSC Terminations" procedure on page 3-84.)
Note Due to the OSC signal loopback, on ANSI shelves, an EOC DCC Termination Failure alarm might be raised.
Step 18 If the OSC link becomes active, continue with Step 19. If the OSC link does not turn up, perform the following troubleshooting steps:
a. Remove the 10-dB bulk attenuator between the LINE TX and LINE RX connection. If the OSC link becomes active, continue with Step 19. If not, continue with Step b.
b. Modify the OSC Fail Low thresholds. Click the Provisioning > Optical Line > Optics Thresholds tabs and change the Port 6 opwrMin (minimum power) to -40 dBm.
c. Modify the COM TX Fail Low Threshold. Change the Port 3 opwrMin (minimum power) to -30 dBm.
d. If the OSC link turns up, continue with Step 19. If it does not turn up, replace the OSC-CSM card.
Step 19 Check the site configuration file from Cisco MetroPlanner and identify the wavelength (belonging to the 100 Ghz ITU-T grid) of the channel running on the first add path of the first AD-xC-xx.x or 4MD-xx.x card on the west-to-east direction.
Step 20 Connect the tunable laser to the correspondent 15xx.x RX port (on the card front panel) of the east AD-xC-xx.x or east 4MD-xx.x card.
Step 21 Repeat Steps 3 through 20, applying the steps to the east-to-west direction.
Step 22 Restore the default administrative state (IS,AINS/Unlocked,automaticInService) on all the ports previously set to OOS,MT (ANSI) or Locked,maintenance (ETSI).
Step 23 Complete the "NTP-G37 Run Automatic Node Setup" procedure on page 3-83 to recover the correct node configuration.
Step 24 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

Note Optical power measurements require either a tunable laser or a multirate transponder to generate the proper optical wavelength. If multirate transponders were installed during completion of Chapter 3, "Turn Up a Node," they can be used for this procedure. No additional cabling changes are needed.
Step 1 Complete the "DLP-G46 Log into CTC" task at the OADM node where you want to perform the acceptance test. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 3 Click the Alarms tab.
a. Verify that the alarm filter is not on. See the "DLP-G128 Disable Alarm Filtering" task as necessary.
b. Verify that no equipment alarms appear indicating equipment failure or other hardware problems. (Equipment alarms are indicated by an EQPT in the Alarms tab Cond column.) If equipment failure alarms appear, investigate and resolve them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide for procedures.
Step 4 In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the Provisioning > WDM-ANS > Port Status tabs. Verify that all statuses under Link Status are Success - Changed, Success - Unchanged, or Not Applicable. If not, complete the "NTP-G37 Run Automatic Node Setup" procedure on page 3-83.
Step 5 Check the Cisco MetroPlanner site configuration file to verify the presence of a dropped or added bands (including 4 channels at 100 GHz) configured in pass-through mode in either direction.
Note Configuring a band in pass-through mode means that the band is dropped in one direction by an AD-xB-xx.x card on one side (east or west) of the node, then added by another AD-xB x.xx card on the opposite side in the same direction. The band is not terminated inside the node.
Step 6 If no bands are configured in pass-through mode, continue with Step 7. If a band is configured in pass-through mode, mark it and skip the related optical test for the express, add, and drop sections. Band pass-through connections are verified separately.
Step 7 Check the site configuration file from Cisco MetroPlanner to verify the presence of dropped or added channels configured in pass-through mode in either direction.
Note Configuring a channel in pass-through mode means that the channel is dropped in one direction by an AD-xC-xx.x card on one side (east or west) of the node, then added by another AD-xC-x.xx card on the opposite side in the same direction. The channel is not terminated inside the node.
Step 8 If no channels are configured in pass-through mode, continue with Step 9. If a channel is configured in pass-through mode, mark it and skip the related optical test for the express, add, and drop sections. Channel pass-through connections are verified separately.
Step 9 Create a loopback on the west OSC-CSM card by connecting the LINE TX port to the LINE RX port using a patchcord and 10-dB bulk attenuator.
Step 10 Verify that the OSC link becomes active on the west OSC-CSM card. (The OSC termination must be already provisioned. If not, complete the "NTP-G38 Provision OSC Terminations" procedure on page 3-84.)
Note Due to the OSC signal loopback, on ANSI shelves, an EOC DCC Termination Failure alarm might be raised.
Step 11 If the OSC link becomes active, continue with Step 12. If the OSC link does not turn up, perform the following troubleshooting steps:
a. Remove the 10-dB bulk attenuator between the LINE TX and LINE RX connection. If the OSC link becomes active, continue with Step 12. If not, continue with Step b.
b. Modify the OSC Fail Low thresholds. Click the Provisioning > Optical Line > Optics Thresholds tabs and change the Port 6 opwrMin (minimum power) to -40 dBm.
c. Modify the COM TX Fail Low Threshold. Change the Port 3 opwrMin (minimum power) to -30 dBm.
d. If the OSC link turns up, continue with Step 12. If it does not turn up, replace the OSC-CSM card.
Step 12 If the node has express bands or channels, complete the "DLP-G86 Verify Express Channel Connections on an OADM Node with OSC-CSM Cards" task. If the node does not have express bands or channels, continue with Step 13.
Step 13 If connections configured in pass-through mode are present (noted in Steps 5 and 7), complete the "DLP-G89 Verify OADM Node Pass-Through Channel Connections" task. If not, continue with Step 14.
Step 14 If connections have add/drop connections, complete the "DLP-G94 Verify Add and Drop Connections on an OADM Node with OSC-CSM Cards" task.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
