Step 4 Click Apply.
Step 5 If an error message opens indicating that the card or PPM state cannot be changed from its current state, click OK.
Depending on the Admin State you choose, the card or port/PPM transitions to a different service state. For more information about the service states and card state transitions, refer to the "Administrative and Service States" appendix of the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-D331 Manage Pluggable Port Modules
