Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Timing > General tabs.
Step 2 Observe the Timing Mode field to see the type of timing (Line, External) that has been set for that node.
Step 3 Scroll down to the Reference Lists and observe the NE Reference fields to see the timing references provisioned for that node.
Step 4 If the removed node was the BITS timing source, perform the following:
a. Look for another node on the ring that can be used as a BITS source and set that node's Timing Mode to External. Choose that node as the primary timing source for all other nodes in the ring. See the "DLP-F230 Change the Node Timing Source" task.
b. If no node in the reduced ring can be used as a BITS source, choose one node to be your internal timing source. Set that node's Timing Mode to External and set the BITS 1 and 2 State to Locked. Then choose line timing for all other nodes in the ring. This will force the first node to be their primary timing source. See the "DLP-F230 Change the Node Timing Source" task.
Note This type of timing conforms to Stratum 3E requirements and is not considered optimal.
Step 5 If the removed node was not the BITS timing source, provision the adjacent nodes to line timing using SDH links (east and west) as timing sources, traceable to the node with external BITS timing.
Step 6 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-F238 Initiate a Manual Switch on a Port in a 1+1 Protection Group
Step 1 In node view, click the Maintenance > Protection tabs.
Step 2 In the Protection Group area, select the protection group with the port you want to switch.
In the Selected Group area each port is identified as Working or Protect. Each port also has a status:
•Active—The port is carrying traffic.
•Standby—The port is not carrying traffic.
•[MANUAL TO WORKING]—A Manual switch has moved traffic to the Working port.
•[MANUAL TO PROTECT]—A Manual switch has moved traffic to the Protect port.
•[FORCE TO WORKING]—A Force switch has moved traffic to the Working port.
•[FORCE TO PROTECT]—A Force switch has moved traffic to the Protect port.
The normal assignment status is for one port assignment to say Working/Active and for the other to say Protect/Standby.
Step 3 In the Selected Group, click the port that you want to switch. For example, if you want to switch traffic from the working port to the protect port, click the working port.
Step 4 Click Manual.
If the Manual switch is successful, CTC shows both ports as [MANUAL TO PROTECT] (or [MANUAL TO WORKING]). This indicates that the ONS 15600 SDH system has been able to carry out the switch request and has moved traffic from one port to the other.
If the Bidirectional switching check box is checked, both the near-end and far-end nodes switch to the designated protection ports. For example, if the near-end node has a loss of signal (LOS), it switches to the protect port and transmits a switch request to the far-end node to switch to the protect port also. This ensures that both nodes process traffic from the same span.
If the Bidirectional switching check box is not selected, the near-end and far-end nodes switch independently of each other. For example, if the near-end node has an LOS on its working port, it switches to the protect port. If the far-end node does not have a LOS, traffic remains on the working port.
If the Manual switch is not successful, CTC continues to show the ports as active and standby, and an alarm such as FAILTOSWS is raised. This failure occurs because the target port is not available and troubleshooting is required. For information about troubleshooting, refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Troubleshooting Guide.
Step 5 Click the Conditions tab and click Retrieve to see new events. The switch procedure raises a MANUAL-REQ-SPAN condition that is visible in the window unless Not Alarmed conditions have been filtered out from the view.
Step 6 Click the Alarms tab.
If any traffic loss alarms occur or if a switching failure alarm such as FAILTOSWS occurs, troubleshoot the problems that have prevented the switch and attempt the switch procedure again.
Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-F239 Initiate a Force Switch on a Port in a 1+1 Protection Group
Step 1 In node view, click the Maintenance > Protection tabs.
Step 2 In the Protection Group area, select the protection group with the port you want to switch.
In the Selected Group area, each port is identified as Working or Protect. Each port also has a status:
•Active—The port is carrying traffic.
•Standby—The port is not carrying traffic.
•[MANUAL TO WORKING]—A Manual switch has moved traffic to the working port.
•[MANUAL TO PROTECT]—A Manual switch has moved traffic to the protect port.
•[FORCE TO WORKING]—A Force switch has moved traffic to the working port.
•[FORCE TO PROTECT]—A Force switch has moved traffic to the protect port.
The normal status is for one port to be Working/Active and the other to be Protect/Standby.
Step 3 In the Selected Group area, select the port that you want to switch. For example, if you want to switch traffic from the working port to the protect port, click the working port.
Step 4 Click Force.
If the Force switch is successful, Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) shows both ports as [FORCE TO PROTECT] (or [FORCE TO WORKING]). This indication is shown whether or not the ONS 15600 SDH system has been able to move traffic from one port to the other.
If the Bidirectional switching check box is checked, both the near-end and far-end nodes switch to the designated protection ports. For example, if the near-end node has a loss of signal (LOS), it switches to the protection port and transmits a switch request to the far-end node to switch to the protection port also. This ensures that both nodes process traffic from the same span.
If the Bidirectional switching check box is not selected, the near-end and far-end nodes switch independently of each other. For example, if the near-end node has an LOS on its working port, it switches to the protection port. If the far-end node does not have a LOS, traffic remains on the working port.
If the Force switch is unsuccessful, clear the switch immediately using the "DLP-F295 Clear a Manual or Force Switch in a 1+1 Protection Group" task, and then troubleshoot the problems preventing the switch by referring to the Cisco ONS 15600 Troubleshooting Guide.
Step 5 Click the Conditions tab and click Retrieve to see new events. The switch procedure raises a FORCED-REQ-SPAN condition that is visible in the window unless Not Alarmed conditions have been filtered out from the view.
Step 6 Click the Alarms tab.
No new traffic loss alarms or failure-to-switch alarms should appear.
Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-F250 Provision SNCP Selectors During Circuit Creation
Note Provisioning signal degrade-path (SD-P) or signal fail-path (SF-P) thresholds in the Circuit Attributes page of the Circuit Creation wizard sets the values only for SNCP-protected spans. The circuit source and destination use the node default values of 10E-4 for SD-P and 10E-6 for SF-P for unprotected circuits and for the source and drop of SNCP circuits.
Step 1 In the Circuit Attributes area of the Circuit Creation wizard, set the SNCP path selectors:
•Provision working go and return on primary path—Check this box to route the working path on one fiber pair and the protect path on a separate fiber pair. This feature only applies to bidirectional SNCP circuits.
•Revertive—Check this box if you want traffic to revert to the working path when the conditions that diverted it to the protect path are repaired. If you do not choose Revertive, traffic remains on the protect path after the switch.
•Reversion time—If Revertive is checked, click the Reversion time field and choose a reversion time from the drop-down list. The range is 0.5 to 12.0 minutes. The default is 5.0 minutes. This is the amount of time that will elapse before the traffic reverts to the working path. Traffic can revert when conditions causing the switch are cleared.
•SF threshold—For high-order circuits, set the SNCP path-level signal failure bit error rate (BER) thresholds.
•SD threshold—For high-order circuits, set the SNCP path-level signal degrade BER thresholds.
•Switch on PDI-P—For high-order circuits, check this box if you want traffic to switch when a high-order payload defect indication-path is received. Unavailable for low-order circuits.

DLP-F253 Provision RS-DCC Terminations
Note The RS-DCCs and MS-DCCs should not be provisioned between SONET (ANSI) and SDH (ETSI) nodes using CTC or TL1 because they cannot operate between SONET and SDH nodes. These communication channels should be provisioned on similar nodes, such as SONET-to-SONET or SDH-to-SDH. To establish communication channels between SONET and SDH nodes, create a DCC tunnel. See the "DLP-F244 Create a DCC Tunnel" task to create a DCC tunnel.
Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Comm Channels > RS-DCC tabs.
Step 2 In the RS-DCC Terminations area, click Create.
Step 3 In the Create RS-DCC Terminations dialog box, click the ports where you want to create the DCC termination. To select more than one port, press the Shift key or the Ctrl key.
Note RS-DCC refers to the regenerator-section DCC, which is used for ONS 15600 SDH DCC terminations. You can provision the SDH MS-DCCs and RS-DCC (when not used as a DCC termination by the ONS 15600 SDH) as DCC tunnels. See the "DLP-F244 Create a DCC Tunnel" task.You can provision RS-DCCs and MS-DCCs on different ports in the same node. In the Port Admin State area, click Set to unlocked to put the port in service. When RS-DCC is provisioned, an MS-DCC termination is allowed on the same port, but is not recommended. Changing configuration of a port having RS-DCC termination to MS-DCC termination is allowed. During this upgrade both MS-DCC and RS-DCC terminations can be present on the same port. Once the MS-DCC termination is configured see "DLP-F314 Provision MS-DCC Terminations" task, delete the RS-DCC terminations as specified in"DLP-F321 Delete an RS-DCC Termination" task, and enable the OSPF on MS-DCC termination if not enabled see "DLP-F320 Change an MS-DCC Termination" task
Step 4 Verify that the Disable OSPF on RS-DCC Link is unchecked.
Step 5 If the RS-DCC termination is to include a non-ONS node, check the Far End is Foreign check box. This automatically sets the far-end node IP address to 0.0.0.0, which means that any address can be specified by the far end. To change the default to a specific the IP address, see the "DLP-F319 Change an RS-DCC Termination" task.
Step 6 In the Layer 3 area, perform one of the following:
•Check the IP box only—If the RS-DCC is between the ONS 15600 SDH and another ONS node and only ONS nodes reside on the network. The RS-DCC will use Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).
•Check the IP and OSI boxes—If the RS-DCC is between the ONS 15600 SDH and another ONS node and third party NEs that use the Open System Interconnection (OSI) protocol stack are on the same network. The RS-DCC will use PPP.
•Check OSI box only—If the RS-DCC is between an ONS node and a third party NE that uses the OSI protocol stack. The RS-DCC will use the Link Access Protocol on the D Channel (LAP-D) protocol.
Note If OSI is checked and IP is not checked (LAP-D), no network connections will appear in network view.
Step 7 If you checked OSI, complete the following steps. If you checked IP only, continue with Step 9.
a. Click Next.
b. Provision the following fields:
–Router—Choose the OSI router.
–ESH—Sets the End System Hello (ESH) propagation frequency. End system NEs transmit ESHs to inform other ESs and ISs about the NSAPs it serves. The default is 10 seconds. The range is 10 to 1000 seconds.
–ISH—Sets the Intermediate System Hello (ISH) PDU propagation frequency. Intermediate system NEs send ISHs to other ESs and ISs to inform them about the IS NETs it serves. The default is 10 seconds. The range is 10 to 1000 seconds.
–IIH—Sets the Intermediate System to Intermediate System Hello (IIH) PDU propagation frequency. The IS-IS Hello PDUs establish and maintain adjacencies between ISs. The default is 3 seconds. The range is 1 to 600 seconds.
–Metric—Sets the cost for sending packets on the LAN subnet. The IS-IS protocol uses the cost to calculate the shortest routing path. The default metric cost for LAN subnets is 20. It normally should not be changed.
Step 8 If the OSI and IP boxes are both checked, continue with Step 9. If only the OSI is checked, click Next and provision the following fields:
•Mode
–AITS—(Acknowledged Information Transfer Service) (Default) Does not exchange data until a logical connection between two LAP-D users is established. This service provides reliable data transfer, flow control, and error control mechanisms.
–UITS—(Unacknowledged Information Transfer Service) Transfers frames containing user data with no acknowledgement. The service does not guarantee that the data presented by one user will be delivered to another user, nor does it inform the user if the delivery attempt fails. It does not provide any flow control or error control mechanisms.
•Role—Set to the opposite of the mode of the NE at the other end of the RS-DCC.
•MTU—(Maximum transmission unit) Sets the maximum number of octets in a LAP-D information frame. The range is 512 to 1500 octets. The default is 512. You normally should not change it.
•T200— Sets the time between Set Asynchronous Balanced Mode (SABME) frame retransmissions. The default is 0.2 seconds. The range is 0.2 to 20 seconds.
•T203—Provisions the maximum time between frame exchanges, that is, the trigger for transmission of the LAP-D "keep-alive" Receive Ready (RR) frames. The default is 10 seconds. The range is 4 to 120 seconds.
Step 9 Click Finish.
Step 10 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-F254 Change the Service State for a Port
Step 1 In node view, double-click the card with the port(s) you want to put in or out of service. The card view appears.
Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Line tabs.
Step 3 In the Admin State column for the target port, choose one of the following from the drop-down list:
•Unlocked—Puts the port in the Unlocked-enabled service state.
•Locked,disabled—Puts the port in the Locked-enabled,disabled service state. In this service state, traffic is not passed on the port until the service state is changed to Unlocked-enabled; Locked-enabled,maintenance; or Unlocked-disabled,automaticInService.
•Locked,maintenance—Puts the port in the Locked-enabled,maintenance service state. This service state does not interrupt traffic flow and loopbacks are allowed, but alarm reporting is suppressed. Raised fault conditions, whether or not their alarms are reported, can be retrieved on the CTC Conditions tab or by using the TL1 RTRV-COND command. Use the Locked-enabled,maintenance service state for testing or to suppress alarms temporarily. A port must be in this service state before you can apply a loopback. Change to the Unlocked-enabled or Unlocked-disabled,automaticInService when testing is complete.
•Unlocked,automaticInService—Puts the port in the Unlocked-disabled,automaticInService service state. In this service state, alarm reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried and loopbacks are allowed. After the soak period passes, the port changes to Unlocked-enabled. Raised fault conditions, whether their alarms are reported or not, can be retrieved on the CTC Conditions tab or by using the TL1 RTRV-COND command.
Note CTC will not allow you to change a port service state from Unlocked-enabled to Locked-enabled,disabled. You must first change a port to the Locked-enabled,maintenance service state before putting it in the Locked-enabled,disabled service state.
For more information about service states, refer to the "Administrative and Service States" appendix of the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Reference Manual.
Step 4 If the port is in loopback (Locked-enabled,loopback & maintenance) and you set the Admin State to Unlocked-enabled, a confirmation window appears indicating that the loopback will be released and that the action could be service affecting. To continue, click Yes.
Step 5 If you set Admin State to Unlocked,automaticInService, set the soak period time in the AINS Soak field. This is the amount of time that the port will stay in Unlocked-disabled,automaticInService service state after the signal is continuously received before changing to Unlocked-enabled.

Step 2 Investigate all network alarms and resolve any problems that could be affected by the circuit deletion. If necessary, refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Troubleshooting Guide.
Step 3 Verify that traffic is no longer carried on the circuit and that the circuit can be safely deleted.
Step 4 Click the Circuits tab.
Step 5 Choose the circuit you want to delete, then click Delete.
Step 6 In the Delete Circuits confirmation dialog box, check one or both of the following, as needed:
•Check Change drop port admin state and choose Locked,disabled from the drop-down list to put the circuit source and destination ports out of service if the circuit is the same size as the port or is the only circuit using the port. If the circuit is not the same size as the port or the only circuit using the port, CTC will not change the port state.
•If you check Notify when completed, the CTC Alerts confirmation dialog box indicates when all circuit source/destination ports are in the Locked,disabled service state and the circuit is deleted. During this time, you cannot perform other CTC functions. If you are deleting many circuits, waiting for confirmation can take a few minutes. Circuits are deleted whether or not this check box is checked.
Note The CTC Alerts dialog box does not automatically open to show a deletion error unless you checked All alerts or Error alerts only in the CTC Alerts dialog box. For more information, see the "DLP-F309 Configure the CTC Alerts Dialog Box for Automatic Popup" task. If the CTC Alerts dialog box is not set to open automatically with a notification, a red triangle inside the CTC Alerts toolbar icon indicates that a notification exists.
Step 7 Complete one of the following:
•If you checked "Notify when completed," the CTC Alerts dialog box appears. If you want to save the information, continue with Step 8. If you do not want to save the information, continue with Step 9.
•If you did not check "Notify when completed," the Circuits window appears. Continue with Step 10.
Step 8 If you want to save the information in the CTC Alerts dialog box, complete the following steps. If you do not want to save, continue with the next step.
a. Click Save.
b. Click Browse and navigate to the directory where you want to save the file.
c. Type the file name using a TXT file extension, and click OK.
Step 9 Click Close to close the CTC Alerts dialog box.
Step 10 Complete the "NTP-F221 Back Up the Database" procedure, if needed.
Note If a schedule is established for database backup, you do not need to complete a backup after every circuit addition and deletion.
Step 11 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-F294 Change an STM-N Card
Physically removing an STM-N card can cause a loss of working traffic.
Note Do not use this procedure to replace a card with an identical card. Instead, use the "DLP-F174 Delete a Card from CTC" task.
Step 1 If the card the active card in a 1+1 protection group, switch traffic away from the card:
a. Log into a node on the network. If you are already logged in, go to Step b.
b. Display the CTC node (login) view.
c. Click the Maintenance > Protection tabs.
d. Double-click the protection group that contains the reporting card.
e. Click the active card of the selected group.
f. Click Switch in the Confirmation dialog box.
