If you are attempting to add an unreachable node, you must first log in to the unreachable node
using a separate CTC session and configure that node. Delete any existing protection groups, and
any existing DCC terminations as described in the procedure guide for the device you are adding.
The Back button is not enabled in the wizard. You can click the Cancel button at this point and
choose the Yes button if you want to cancel the upgrade protection procedure. If the procedure
fails after you have physically moved the fiber-optic cables, you must restore the fiber-optic
cables to the original positions and verify (through CTC) that traffic is on the working path
before restarting the process. To check traffic status, go to node view and click the
Maintenance > Protection tabs. In the Protection Groups area, click the 1+1 protection group.
You can see the status of the traffic in the Selected Group area.
