Procedure
Step 1 |
From the View menu, choose Go to Network View. |
||
Step 2 |
Click the Alarms tab. |
||
Step 3 |
In node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode), click the NTP-G37 Running Automatic Node Setup task. tabs. Verify that all statuses under Link Status are listed as Success - Changed or Success - Unchanged. If a different status appears, complete the |
||
Step 4 |
Create a physical loopback on the Side A (or terminal) OSC-CSM, OPT-BST or OPT-BST-E amplifier by using a patchcord with 10-dB bulk attenuators to connect the LINE TX port to the LINE RX port.
|
||
Step 5 |
Wait approximately two minutes, then verify that the OSC link is active on the Side A OSCM or OSC-CSM card by observing whether or not the 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 Provisioning OSC Terminations task.
|
||
Step 6 |
Set the tunable laser or the TXP_MR_10E_C card to the first wavelength of the 100-GHz ITU-T C-band grid (1530.33 nm). Refer to the tunable laser manufacturer’s documentation or the “DLP-G358 Provisioning TXP_MR_10E_L and TXP_MR_10E_C Cards for Acceptance Testing” task. |
||
Step 7 |
Connect the tunable laser transmitter or TXP_MR_10E_C card DWDM TX port to the CHAN RX 01 port on the Side A (or terminal) 32MUX-O card using the available patch panel. |
||
Step 8 |
Display the Side A (or terminal) 32MUX-O card in card view. |
||
Step 9 |
Click the tabs. |
||
Step 10 |
Change the Port 1 administrative state to OOS,MT (ANSI) or Locked,maintenance (ETSI). |
||
Step 11 |
Verify that the Port 1 power level reaches the provisioned VOA Power Ref set point.
|
||
Step 12 |
If an OPT-BST, OPT-BST-E, or OPT-BST-L card is installed, complete the “DLP-G79 Verifying the OPT-BST, OPT-BST-E, or OPT-BST-L Amplifier Laser and Power” task on the Side A (or terminal) OPT-BST, OPT-BST-E, or OPT-BST-L to ensure that the amplifier is working properly. If an OSC-CSM card is installed, go to step 14. |
||
Step 13 |
Complete the “DLP-G80 Verifying the OPT-PRE Amplifier Laser and Power” task on the Side A (or terminal) OPT-PRE card to ensure that the amplifier is working properly. |
||
Step 14 |
Complete the “DLP-G78 Verifying the 32MUX-O or 40-MUX-C Card Power” task to verify that the 32MUX-O is powered correctly. |
||
Step 15 |
Complete the “DLP-G269 Verifying the 32DMX-O or 40-DMX-C Card Power” task to verify that the 32DMX-O card is powered correctly. |
||
Step 16 |
Restore the default IS,AINS (ANSI) or Unlocked,automaticInService (ETSI) administrative state to the 32MUX-O card port that was changed to OOS,MT (ANSI) or Locked,maintenance (ETSI) in step 10. |
||
Step 17 |
Repeat steps 6 through 16 for the remaining 31 wavelengths of the 100-GHz grid to verify the correct behavior of all variable optical attenuators (VOAs) inside the 32MUX-O card. |
||
Step 18 |
Remove the loopback created in step 4. |
||
Step 19 |
If the node is a hub node, repeat steps 4 through 18 for the Side B cards. |
||
Step 20 |
Complete the NTP-G37 Running Automatic Node Setup task to restore the original configuration. |
||
Step 21 |
Click the Alarms tab. Stop. You have completed this procedure. |
DLP-G79 Verifying the OPT-BST, OPT-BST-E, or OPT-BST-L Amplifier Laser and Power

Step 4 |
Click Reset. |
Step 5 |
Scroll to the right and locate the Signal Output Power parameter for Port 6 (LINE-TX). Verify that the Signal Output Power value is greater than or equal to the Channel Power Ref. If the Signal Output Power is not greater than or equal to 1.5 dBm, do not continue. Begin troubleshooting or contact your next level of support. |
