A method and system provides the capability to provision Dual Working mode service in a SONET network, while maintaining compatibility with existing SONET provisioning systems. In one embodiment of the present invention, a method for provisioning dual working mode in a Synchronous Optical Network/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy network comprises the steps of generating provisioning commands to provision a non-dual working mode of operation in the Synchronous Optical Network/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy network, modifying the generated commands to indicate to a first network element that dual working mode is being provisioned, and transmitting the modified commands to provision the Synchronous Optical Network/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy network.
