DLP-F300 Install Fiber-Optic Cables for SNCP Configurations
PurposeThis task installs the fiber-optic cables to the SNCP ports at each node. See
Chapter 5, “Turn Up a Network.” to provision and test SNCP
configurations.

CautionTo avoid loss of traffic, do not create an SNCP using two ports on the same card. You can create an SNCP
on different ports on the same side of the shelf, but Cisco recommends using one port on one side of the
shelf and another port on the opposite side.
NoteSee Table 16-1 on page 16-19 and Table 16-2 on page 16-19 for OGI connector pinouts of STM-16 and
STM-64 cards.
Step 1Plug the fiber into the transmit (Tx) connector of an STM-N card at one node and plug the other end of
the fiber into the receive (Rx) connector of an STM-N card at the adjacent node. The card will display
an SF LED if the transmit and receive fibers are mismatched (one fiber connects a receive port on one
card to a receive port on another card, or the same situation with transmit ports).
Step 2Repeat Step 1 until you have configured the ring.
PurposeThis task changes the amount of time a path selector switch is delayed for
circuits routed on an SNCP dual-ring interconnect (DRI) topology. Setting
a switch hold-off time (HOT) prevents unnecessary back and forth
switching when a circuit is routed through multiple SNCP selectors.
NoteCisco recommends that you set the DRI port HOT value to zero and the circuit path selector HOT value
to a number equal to or greater than zero.
Step 1From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 2Click the Circuits tab.
Step 3Click the SNCP circuit you want to edit, then click Edit.
Step 4In the Edit Circuit window, click the SNCP Selectors tab.

Tunnel” task on page 17-36.
Step 4In the Port Admin State area, click Set to unlocked to put the port in service.
Step 5Verify that the Disable OSPF on DCC Link check box is unchecked.
Step 6If the RS-DCC termination is to include a non-ONS node, check the Far End is Foreign check box. This
automatically sets the far-end node IP address to 0.0.0.0, which means that any address can be specified
by the far end. To change the default to a specific the IP address, see the “DLP-F320 Change an MS-DCC
Termination” task on page 18-19.
Step 7In the Layer 3 area, perform one of the following:
• Check the IP box only—If the MS-DCC is between the ONS 15600 SDH and another ONS node and
only ONS nodes reside on the network. The MS-DCC will use point-to-point protocol (PPP).
• Check the IP and OSI boxes—If the MS-DCC is between the ONS 15600 SDH and another ONS
node and third party NEs that use the OSI protocol stack are on the same network. The MS-DCC
