1. Introduction and Purpose

This document is to provide the checklist for handover of all DWDM Nodes, Links & network from
Projects to Operations. It captures parameters to be validated by Circle Operations & NOC-Tx for all
New/Redeployment DWDM network before integration in thenetwork.

2. Background

In order to meet the capacity requirements in the transmission network, the DWDM network has
been deployed as National, Circle &Metro DWDM . To ensure operational efficiency, it is important
to ensure that the DWDM links deployed are as planned. Since the planning, deployment &
maintenance of the DWDM links involves multiple stake-holders, a standard process for the
integration of newnodes/links in the network is required. This document describes the DWDM
Nodes, Links& Services acceptance criteria in detail.
