NTP-G54 Provision and Verify a DWDM Network
Step 1
Complete the
“DLP-G46 Log into CTC” task on page 2-25
to log into an ONS 15454 on the network.
Step 2
Click the
Alarms
tab:
a.
Verify that the alarm filter is not turned on. See the
“DLP-G128 Disable Alarm Filtering” task on
as necessary.
b.
Verify that no equipment (EQPT) alarms appear. If equipment failure alarms appear, investigate and
resolve them before continuing. Refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide
or the
Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting Guide
for procedures.
Step 3
Using the Cisco MetroPlanner Traffic Matrix (see
) for your site, identify the first
channel (ITU wavelength) to be provisioned. Use the transponder (TXP), MXP, or line card that
corresponds to the selected wavelength.
Step 4
As needed, complete the
“DLP-G99 Create a Provisionable Patchcord” task on page 6-11
. This is an
optional step requiring data communications channel (DCC) connectivity between the node and
subtended client shelf or generic communications channel (GCC) connectivity between the TXPs.
Step 5
Create the optical channels at all sites according to the Cisco MetroPlanner Traffic Matrix. Complete the
“DLP-G105 Provision DWDM Optical Channel Network Connections” task on page 7-10
.
Note
Every time a channel is created on the DWDM network, the amplifiers automatically calculate
the optical output power to maintain a constant power level on each channel. Automatic power
control (APC) also starts every 60 minutes. If the span length changes, APC modifies amplifier
gains and express variable optical attenuation (VOA). For more information about APC, see the
“18.4 Automatic Power Control” section on page 18-18
.
Step 6
Select one of the nodes and go to node view.
Purpose
This procedure verifies the performance of all cable connections and cards
in a network topology. You can also use this procedure to troubleshoot any
problems with DWDM network setup.
