NTP-E151 Provision an Optical Line Rate

Purpose This procedure provisions the line rate on a multirate pluggable port

module (PPM). Single-rate small-form factor pluggables (SFPs) or 4-port I/O modules (4PIOs) do not need line rate provisioning.

Tools/Equipment None

Prerequisite Procedures NTP-E148 Preprovision an SFP Slot, page 2-8 or

NTP-E157 Provision a Multirate PPM, page 11-2

c. Complete the “DLP-E76 Export CTC Data” task on page 16-98 to export alarm and condition

information.

Step 3 In node view, double-click the ASAP card where you want to provision the line rate.

Step 4 Click the Provisioning > Pluggable Port Modules tabs.

Step 5 In the Pluggable Ports pane, click Create. The Create Port dialog box appears.

Step 6 In the Create Port dialog box, complete the following:

• Port—Click the PPM number and port number from the drop-down list. The first number indicates

the PPM and the second number indicates the port number on the PPM. For example, the first PPM with one port displays as 1-1 and the second PPM with one port displays as 2-1. When a 4PIO is present on an ASAP card, the port is identified as 4PIO#-PPM#-Port# (for example 4-4-1). The 4PIO number can be 1 to 4, the PPM number can be 1 to 4, but the port number is always 1.

• Port Type—Click the type of port from the drop-down list. The port type menu displays the

supported port rates on your PPM. See Table 11-1 for definitions of the supported rates on the ASAP card.

Step 7 Click OK.

Step 8 Repeat Steps 5 through 7 to configure the port rates as needed.

NTP-E149 Delete Pluggable Port Modules

Purpose This procedure deletes PPM provisioning for SFPs on the ASAP card.

Tools/Equipment None

Prerequisite Procedures NTP-E157 Provision a Multirate PPM, page 11-2

Required/As Needed As needed

Onsite/Remote Onsite or remote

Security Level Provisioning or higher

Step 1 Complete the “DLP-E26 Log into CTC” task on page 16-39 to log into an ONS 15600 on the network.

Step 2 Click the Alarms tab:

a. Verify that the alarm filter is not turned on. See the “DLP-E157 Disable Alarm Filtering” task on

page 17-50 as necessary.

NTP-E149 Delete Pluggable Port Modules

c. Complete the “DLP-E76 Export CTC Data” task on page 16-98 to export alarm and condition

information.

Step 3 You cannot delete a port on a PPM: if it is in service, part of a protection group, has a communications

channel termination in use, is used as a timing source, has circuits, or has overhead circuits. As needed, complete the following procedures and task:

• NTP-E61 Modify or Delete Optical 1+1 Port Protection Settings, page 10-4

• NTP-E62 Change Node Timing, page 10-4

• NTP-E128 Modify or Delete Communications Channel Terminations and Provisionable Patchcords,

page 10-7

• NTP-E52 Modify and Delete Circuits, page 9-2

• NTP-E134 Modify and Delete Overhead Circuits, page 9-3

• DLP-E115 Change the Service State for a Port, page 17-14

Step 4 In node view, double-click the ASAP card where you want to delete PPM settings.

Step 5 Click the Provisioning > Pluggable Port Modules tabs.

Step 6 To delete a PPM and the associated ports:

a. Click the PPM line that appears in the Pluggable Port Modules pane. The highlight changes to dark

blue.

b. Click Delete. The Delete PPM dialog box appears.

c. Click Ye s. The PPM provisioning is removed from the Pluggable Port Modules pane and the

Pluggable Ports pane.

February 2008

Step 7 Verify that the PPM provisioning is deleted:

• If the PPM was pre-provisioned, CTC shows an empty slot in CTC after it is deleted.

• If the SFP or 4PIO is physically present when you delete the PPM provisioning, CTC transitions to

the deleted state, the ports (if any) are deleted, and the PPM is represented as a gray graphic in CTC. The SFP or 4PIO can be provisioned again in CTC, or the equipment can be removed, in which case the removal causes the graphic to disappear.
