Test Plan for Optical Grooming Switches - Light Reading

Test method:
1. Start with Config A and no trails configured
2. Break fibres PAR#2-LA#2, PAR#3-LA#3, PAR#4-LA#4
3. Connect Agilent SONET/SDH testers to PAR#8 and LA#8
4. Simultaneously set up following unprotected trails from PAR#8-LA#8
♦ 3 off STS-12c
♦ 3 off STS-3c
♦ 2 off STS-1
Test Plan for Optical Grooming Switches
Expected result:
All trails should be error free
Switch management system should show all trails being routed via PAR#1-LA#1
trunk
Switch management system should show one spare STS-1 on PAR#1-LA#1 trunk

TCA039a: Confirm virtual concatenation of STS-1s
Purpose:
To confirm support for virtual concatenation of STS-1
Test method:
1. Following successful completion of TCA038 there is now just one spare STS-1 on PAR#1-LA#1 trunk
2. Repair fibre PAR#2-LA#2
3. Reserve following capacity between PAR#10 and LA#9 (but do not connect testers)
4. 3 off STS-12c
5. 3 off STS-3c
6. 1 off STS-1
7. Attempt to set up STS-3c circuit from PAR#13-LA#11 – reserve it and put on the traffic
Expected result:
There is 1 spare STS-1 on trunk PAR#1-LA#1 and 2 spare STS-1 between
PAR#10-LA#9. The system should therefore be able to set up the STS-3c using
virtual concatenation
PAR#13-LA#11 circuit should be error free
Switch management system should make it clear what is going on

None
TCA039b: Test grooming of STS-1s
Purpose:
To confirm grooming of STS-1s
Test method:
1. Start off with Configuration A with no trails configured.
2. Set up following trails from PAR#8-LA#8 :- 1 xSTS-1, 1x STS-3c, 1x STS-12c.
Leave the rest of the STS-1s unequipped
