Chapter 5 Turn Up Network
DS3XM-6/DS3XM-12—If you are testing a DS-1 circuit on a DS3XM-6 or DS3XM-12 card you
•
must have a DSX-3 panel or a direct DS-3 interface to the ONS 15454. Set the test set for a
multiplexed DS-3, then choose the DS-1 to test on the multiplexed DS-3. For information about
configuring your test set, consult your test set user guide.
• OC-N—If you are testing an OC-N circuit, set the test set for the applicable circuit size. 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
Tx connector and the other end to the test set Rx connector. 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 the next step.
Create a physical loopback at the circuit destination card. To do so, attach one end of a patch cable to
Step 9
the destination port's Tx connector; attach the other end to the destination port's Rx connector.
At the circuit source card:
Step 10
a. Connect the Tx connector of the test set to the circuit Rx connector.
b. Connect the test set Rx connector to the circuit Tx connector.
Step 11 Verify that the test set shows a clean signal. If a clean signal does not appear, repeat Steps
to make sure the test set and cabling are configured correctly.
Inject BIT errors from the test set. Verify that the errors appear at the test set, indicating a complete

Set up and complete a BER test. Use the existing configuration and follow your site requirements for
Step 16
length of time. Record the test results and configuration.
Remove any loopbacks, switches, or test sets from the nodes after all testing is complete.
Step 17
In network view, click the Alarms tab.
Step 18
Verify that the alarm filter is not on. See the
a.
page 19-17
Verify that no unexplained alarms appear on the network. If unexplained alarms appear, resolve
b.
them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide if necessary.
Delete the test circuit. See the
Step 19
Repeat Steps
Step 20
If a node fails any test, repeat the test while verifying correct setup and configuration. If the test fails
Step 21
again, refer to the next level of support.
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.
