Before You Begin
On the Conditions tab, and click Retrieve.
Step 4
Verify that the network does not have any unexplained conditions. If unexplained conditions are
a.
present, resolve them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH Troubleshooting
Guide if necessary.
b. Complete the
on your hard drive.
On the network map, double-click the linear ADM node you are testing to open it in node view.
Step 5
Create a test circuit from that node to an adjacent linear ADM node:
Step 6
• For E1 circuits, complete the
page
box.
For DS3/E3 circuits, complete the
•
procedure on page
drop ports check box.
For STM-M circuits, complete the
•
procedure on page
drop ports check box.
Step 7 For the ONS 15310-MA SDH, configure the test set for the test circuit type you created:
Wideband Electrical ports (WBE) E1—On the ONS 15310-MA SDH, if you are testing an unmuxed
•
E1, use the Champ connectors on the BICs on the rear of the chassis. Set the test set for E1. For
information about configuring your test set, consult your test set user guide.
Broadband Electrical ports (BBE) DS3/E3—On the ONS 15310-MA SDH, if you are testing a clear
•
channel DS3/ E3, use the BNC connectors on the BICs on the rear of the chassis. Set the test set for
clear channel DS3/E3. For information about configuring your test set, consult your test set user
guide.
STM-M—If you are testing an STM-M 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 8
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
going to the next step.
Create a physical loopback at the circuit destination. To do so, attach one end of a patch cable to the
Step 9
destination port's Tx connector; attach the other end to the destination port's Rx connector.
At the circuit source:
Step 10
Connect the Tx connector of the test set to the circuit Rx connector.
a.
b. Connect the test set Rx connector to the circuit Tx connector.
Step 11 Verify that the test set displays a clean signal. If a clean signal is not displayed, repeat Steps
10 to make sure the test set and cabling are configured correctly.
Inject BIT errors from the test set. Verify that the errors appear on the test set, indicating a complete
Step 12
end-to-end circuit.
Complete the
Step 13
protection group switching.
Set up and complete a BER test. Use the existing configuration and follow your site requirements for
Step 14
length of time. Record the test results and configuration.
