Step 5 On the network map, double-click the node that you logged into in Step 1.
Step 6 Create a test circuit from the login node to the other point-to-point node. Complete the "DLP-F291 Verify MS-SPRing Extension Byte Mapping" task on page 17-79. When you set the circuit state, choose Unlocked and check the Apply to drop ports check box. Choose one of the following options:
•For an STM-1 span, create a VC4 test circuit.
•For an STM-4 span, create a VC4-4c test circuit.
•For an STM-16 span, create a VC4-16c test circuit.
•For an STM-64 span, create a VC4-64c test circuit. If an STM-64 test set is not available, create a VC4-16c test circuit across an STM-64 span.
Step 7 Configure the test set for the test circuit type you created. If you are testing a VC4 circuit or a VC4-nc circuit on an STM-N card or port, you must have a direct optical interface to the ONS 15600 SDH. Set the test set for STM-N. For information about configuring your test set, consult your test set user guide.
Step 8 Verify the integrity of all patch cables that will be used in this test by connecting one end to the test set transmit (Tx) connector the other to the test set receive (Rx) connector. Use appropriate attenuation on the test set receive connector; for more information, refer to the test set manual. If the test set does not run error-free, check the cable for damage and check the test set to make sure it is set up correctly before going to Step 9.
Step 9 Create a physical loopback at the circuit destination port. To do so, attach one end of a patch cable to the destination port's Tx connector; attach the other end to the port's Rx connector.
Note Use an appropriately sized attenuator when connecting transmit ports to receive ports. On the long-haul optical cards such as OC48/STM16 LR/LH 16 Port 1550 and the OC192/STM64 LR/LH 4 Port 1550, use a 15-dBm attenuator; on the short-haul optical cards such as OC48/STM16 SR/SH 16 Port 1310 and OC192/STM64 SR/SH 4 Port 1310, use a 3-dBm attenuator.
Step 10 At the circuit source port:
a. Connect the Tx connector of the test set to the Rx connector on the circuit source port.
b. Connect the test set Rx connector to the circuit Tx connector on the circuit source port.
Note Use appropriate attenuation on the test set receive connector; for more information, refer to the test set manual.
Step 11 Verify that the test set displays a clean signal. If a clean signal is not present, repeat Steps 7 through 10 to make sure the test set and cabling are configured correctly. If the problem persists, refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Troubleshooting Guide.
Step 12 Inject bit errors from the test set. Verify that the errors display at the test sets, indicating a complete end-to-end circuit.
Step 13 Complete the "DLP-F192 Optical 1+1 Manual Protection Switch Test" task on page 16-49.
Step 14 Set up and complete a long-term bit error rate (BER) test on the working and the protect spans. Use the existing configuration and follow your site requirements for the specified length of time. Record the test results and configuration.
Step 15 Remove any loopbacks, switches, or test sets from the nodes after all testing is complete.
Step 16 From the View menu, choose Go To Network View.
Step 17 Click the Alarms tab. Complete the following steps:
a. Verify that the alarm filter is not on. See the "DLP-F288 Disable Alarm Filtering" task on page 17-78 for instructions.
b. Verify that no unexplained alarms appear on the network. If unexplained alarms appear, resolve them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Troubleshooting Guide.
c. Complete the "DLP-F379 Export CTC Data" task on page 18-88 to export alarm data.
Step 18 If a node fails any test, repeat the test to verify correct setup and configuration. If the test fails again, refer to the next level of support.
Step 19 Complete the "DLP-F293 Delete Circuits" task on page 17-81 to delete the test circuit.
After all tests are successfully completed and no alarms exist in the network, the network is ready for service application.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-F147 Provision MS-SPRing Nodes
Step 1 Complete the "DLP-F349 Install Fiber-Optic Cables for MS-SPRing Configurations" task on page 18-54, verifying that the east port at one node is connected to the west port on an adjacent node, and that this east-to-west port connection is used at all MS-SPRing nodes, similar to Figure 5-1. In the figure, the STM-N drop card on the left side of the shelf is the west port, and the drop card on the right side of the shelf is considered the east port.
Figure 5-1 Four-Node, Two-Fiber MS-SPRing Fiber Connection Example
Step 2 Complete the "DLP-F181 Log into CTC" task on page 16-34 at the node that you want to configure in the MS-SPRing. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 3.

Step 1 Verify that the fiber is correctly connected to the SNCP trunk (span) STM-N cards at each open-ended SNCP node. Figure 5-9 shows an example. Node 1 is connected to ONS 15600 SDH Nodes 2 and 3 through Slots 12 and 2. Trunk cards at Nodes 2 and 3 are connected to the third-party vendor equipment.
Figure 5-9 ONS 15600 SDH Open-Ended SNCPs Fiber Connection Example
Step 2 Verify that the third-party cards or units to which the ONS 15600 SDH trunk cards are connected are the same STM-N rate as the ONS 15600 SDH trunk cards. The third-party time slots must match the ONS 15600 SDH card time slots to which they are connected. For example, if your trunk card is an STM-16, the third-party vendor card or unit must have VC4s 1 to 8 available.
Step 3 Log into an ONS 15600 SDH in the SNCP you are turning up. See the "DLP-F181 Log into CTC" task on page 16-34. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 4.
Step 4 Complete the "DLP-F253 Provision RS-DCC Terminations" task on page 17-45 or the "DLP-F314 Provision MS-DCC Terminations" task on page 18-14 for the ONS 15600 SDH cards and ports that are connected to another ONS 15600 SDH. Do not create RS-DCC or MS-DCC terminations for the card and port that connects to the third-party equipment. For example in Figure 5-9, DCC terminations are created at the following cards and ports:
•Nodes 1 and 6: Slot 2, Port 1 and Slot 12, Port 1
•Node 2 and 5: Slot 12, Port 1
•Node 3 and 4: Slot 2, Port 1
Note If an ONS 15600 SDH is not connected to a corporate LAN, RS-DCC, or MS-DCC provisioning must be performed through a direct (craft) connection. Remote provisioning is possible only after all nodes in the network have RS-DCC or MS-DCC terminations provisioned to in-service STM-N ports.
Step 5 Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for each node in the SNCP.
Step 6 As needed, complete the "DLP-F315 Provision a Proxy Tunnel" task on page 18-16.
