Step 10 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 and the other end to the test set receive (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

Verify that the network does not have any unexplained alarms. If unexplained alarms are present,
resolve them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15327 Troubleshooting Guide.
Ensure that the alarm filter icon in the lower right corner is not indented. If so, click it once to turn

For DS-1 circuits, complete the
procedure on page 5-5. When you set the circuit state, choose IS and check the Apply to drop ports
check box.
For DS-3 circuits, complete the
procedure on page 5-18. When you set the circuit state, choose IS and check the Apply to drop

DS-1—If you are testing an unmuxed DS-1, you must have a DSX-1 panel or a direct DS-1 interface
into the ONS 15327 through the AMP Champ connectors on the Mechanical Interface Card (MIC).
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 15327 through the BNC connectors on the MIC. Set the test set for clear
channel DS-3. For information about configuring your test set, consult your test set user guide.
