Verify that no unexplained alarms appear on the network. If alarms appear, investigate and resolve
them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide for procedures.
This procedure converts an unprotected point-to-point (two nodes) or
linear ADM (three or more nodes) to a two-fiber bidirectional line
switched ring (BLSR) without disrupting traffic.
