OC-N cards in an East/West pattern, it is strongly recommended. If the network ring that is already
passing traffic does not provide the opportunity to connect fiber in this manner, logical provisioning can
be performed to satisfy this requirement.
Be sure to assign the same Ring ID and different node IDs to all nodes in the BLSR. Do not accept the
BLSR ring map until all nodes are provisioned.

5.6 Path-Protected Mesh Networks
In addition to single BLSRs, UPSRs and ADMs, you can extend ONS 15327 traffic protection by
creating path-protected mesh networks (PPMNs). PPMNs include multiple ONS 15327 SONET
topologies and extend the protection provided by a single UPSR to the meshed architecture of several
interconnecting rings. In a PPMN, circuits travel diverse paths through a network of single or multiple
meshed rings. When you create circuits, you can have CTC automatically route circuits across the
PPMN, or you can manually route them. You can also choose levels of circuit protection. For example,
if you choose full protection, CTC creates an alternate route for the circuit in addition to the main route.
The second route follows a unique path through the network between the source and destination and sets
up a second set of cross-connections.
For example, in
route between the two nodes passes through Node 8 and Node 7, shown by the dotted line, and
automatically creates cross-connections at Nodes, 3, 8, 7, and 9 to provide the primary circuit path.

Delete the first circuit.
Recreate the circuit on STSs 1 – 6 (for an OC-12 BLSR) or 1 – 24 (for an OC-48 BLSR) on the fiber
that served as the protect fiber in the linear ADM. During circuit creation, deselect "Route
Automatically" and "Fully Protected Path" on the Circuit Creation dialog box so you can manually
route the circuit on the appropriate STSs. See the
