Step 4
Verify that no unexplained conditions appear on the network. If unexplained conditions appear,
a.
resolve them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide if necessary.
Complete the

information.
On the network map, double-click the node that you logged into in Step 1.
Step 5
Create a test circuit from that node to the OC-N trunk (span) cards on the nodes that connect to the
Step 6
third-party network. For example, in
Slot 5 OC-N card at Node 2, and a secondary circuit destination is created on the Slot 12 OC-N card at
Node 3. For circuit creation procedures, complete one of the following:
For DS-1 circuits, complete the

check box.
• For DS-3 circuits, complete the

ports check box.
For OC-N circuits, complete the

ports check box.
Create a circuit within the third-party network from ONS 15454 connection ports to the second set of

network. In
Node 4/Slot 12, and one at Node 5/Slot 5. The destination will be a drop card on Node 6.
Configure the test set for the test circuit type you created:
Step 9
DS-1—If you are testing a DS-1 that is not multiplexed, you must have a DSX-1 panel or a direct
•
DS-1 interface into the ONS 15454. Set the test set for DS-1. For information about configuring
your test set, consult your test set user guide.
DS-3—If you are testing a clear channel DS-3, you must have a DSX-3 panel or a direct DS-3
•
interface into the ONS 15454. Set the test set for clear channel DS-3. For information about
configuring your test set, consult your test set user guide.
• 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.
Verify the integrity of all patch cables that will be used in this test by connecting one end to the test set
Step 10
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 continuing.
Create a physical loopback at the circuit destination card:
Step 11
Attach one end of a patch cable to the destination port's Tx connector.
a.
Attach the other end to the port's Rx connector.
