Chapter 5 Turn Up a Network
VC3—If you are testing a clear channel E3/DS3I, you must have a patch panel or a direct E3/DS3I
•
interface into the ONS 15454 SDH. Set the test set for clear channel E3/DS3I. For information about
configuring your test set, consult your test set user guide.
VC12—If you are testing an E1, you must have a patch panel or a direct E1 interface to the
•
ONS 15454 SDH. Set the test set for E1. For information about configuring your test set, consult
your test set user guide.
VC11—If you are testing a VC11 circuit on an STM-N or MRC-12 card, you must have a direct
•
optical interface to the ONS 15454 SDH. Set the test set for STM-N. 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
continuing.
Create a physical loopback at the circuit destination card:
Step 9
a. Attach one end of a patch cable to the destination port's transmit (Tx) connector.
b. Attach the other end to the port's receive (Rx) connector.
Step 10 At the circuit source card:
a. Connect the transmit (Tx) connector of the test set to the circuit receive (Rx) connector.
Connect the test set receive (Rx) connector to the circuit transmit (Tx) connector.
b.
Verify that the test set shows a clean signal. If a clean signal does not appear, repeat Steps
Step 11
to make sure the test set and cabling are configured correctly.
Inject BIT errors from the test set. To verify that you have a complete end-to-end circuit, verify that the
Step 12
errors appear at the test set.
