Test Plan for Optical Grooming Switches - Light Reading

Test Plan for Optical Grooming Switches
3. Set up an additional STS-1 trail from PAR#9-LA#8
4. Confirm that all trails are error free and that switch management system shows
circuits routed between Paris and LA.
Expected result:
The switch should groom such that the final STS-1 takes the place of unequipped
STS-1s.

END OF BLOCK 6
BLOCK 7. SONET to SDH conversion and High Order SONET STS-1 to Lower Order SDH AU3
Test Block description:
Investigation of SONET to SDH conversion.
Procedure:
Blocks of tests to proceed in sequence from TCA40 to TCA041.
Test equipment needed:
Two SONET/SDH test sets.
Switch management system.
Computer running Exact Test software interfacing to testers.
Test equipment placement and set-up:
A SONET/SDH protocol tester to monitor traffic at Port A (PAR#8).
A SONET/SDH protocol tester to monitor traffic at Port B (LA#8)
TCA040: SONET OC-12 circuit conversion to SDH STM-4
Purpose:
To confirm the correct conversion of a SONET circuit to an SDH circuit
Test method:
1. Start off with Configuration A, with no trails configured.
2. Using switch management system, configure client interface PAR#8 as SDH
3. Using switch management system, configure client interface LA#8 as SONET
4. Connect SDH tester to configured SDH client interface
5. Connect SONET tester to configured SONET client interface
6. Using switch management system, create STS-12c/VC4-4c trail from PAR#8-LA#8
7. Confirm creation of trail.
Expected result:
• SONET and SDH testers report error free transmission.
Any other comments:
None
TCA041: STS-1 SPE SONET circuit will be set up to be converted to a VC3 SDH
circuit.
Purpose:
