Security Level
To avoid error, connect fiber-optic cable so that the farthest slot to the right represents the east port, and
Note
the farthest slot to the left represents the west port. Fiber connected to an east port at one node must plug
into the west port on an adjacent node.
Do not provision the path protection east and west ports on the same OC-N card.
Caution
Plan your fiber connections. Use the same plan for all path protection nodes.
Step 1
Plug the fiber into the Tx connector of an OC-N card at one node and plug the other end of the fiber into
Step 2
the Rx connector of an OC-N card at the adjacent node. The card displays an SF LED if the transmit and
receive fibers are mismatched (one fiber connects a receive port on one card to a receive port on another
card, or the same situation with transmit ports).
Repeat
