What is "Four-step Method"?

Hello,

The four-step method is used to clear discrete services periodically or after a cutover. It can:

Synchronize data on the NMS and NEs.

Form end-to-end trails.

Facilitate routine maintenance and management.

Synchronize cross-connections of NEs. Choose Configuration > SDH ASON > ASON Topology Management from the main menu. Select desired NEs and click Synchronize Cross-Connection. Do not select more than 15 NEs at a time.

Synchronize TE links. Choose Configuration > SDH ASON > TE Link Management from the main menu. Click Synchronize.

ASON trails are synchronized, and the routes on the ASON trails are updated. Choose Configuration > SDH ASON > ASON Trail Management from the main menu. Click Synchronize. Press Ctrl+A to select all trails. Choose Maintenance > Refresh Actual Route.

Search for trails. Choose SDH Trail > Search for SDH Trail.

Thanks
