DLP- E172 Install Fiber-Optic Cables for Path Protection Configurations
DLP-E172 Install Fiber-Optic Cables for Path Protection Configurations
Caution To avoid loss of traffic, do not create a path protection using two ports on the same card. You can create
a path protection 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.
Note See Table 16-1 on page 16-20 and Table 16-2 on page 16-20 for OGI connector pinouts of OC-48 and
OC-192 cards.
Step 1 Plug the fiber into the transmit (Tx) connector of an OC-N card at one node and plug the other end of
the fiber into the receive (Rx) connector of an OC-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 2 Repeat Step 1 until you have configured the ring.
Step 3 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
Purpose This task installs the fiber-optic cables to the path protection ports at each
node. See
Chapter 5, “Turn Up a Network” to provision and test path
protection configurations.
