• Before configuring circuits to/from a DAC 3xE3/DS3M, refer to Additional
Rules for DAC 3xE3/DS3M on page 9-14.
To view and configure traffic circuits:
1. Open the Traffic Circuits screen from
2.
Bus Configuration
configured for transport of E1 / 2.048 Mbps, DS1 / 1.544 Mbps, E3, DS3, or
STM1/OC3 / 155.52 Mbps time slots. This must be set to match the capacity
type required within the Plug-ins screen for the relevant RACs/DACs. If
incorrectly set, a warning icon (red cross) is displayed in the Plug-ins and
Circuits screens. Mouse-over for tooltip advice.
3.
To view existing circuit connections
relevant LINK, RING or DAC, whereupon its connection details are
displayed in summary form (toggle up) in the, port-to-port connections box.
Refer to Figure 9-1.
For a new/non-configured module the connections box will show all circuits as
unallocated.
For a configured module the connections box will summarize the circuit
connections as well as any unallocated circuits.
4.
To set up new connections
unallocated line in the port-to-port connections box. The toggle(s) in the
port-to-port connections box should be kept in the up (horizontal) position for
easy viewing. Refer to Figure 9-3.
• Populated the
From
in the Select a module to view circuit connections panel.
• Use the From > Port tab to set (in numerical order) the first From port
connection.
• Populate the To tab by selecting the required module from its drop-down
menu (menu only applies where there are two or more possible To options).
• Use the To > Port tab to set (in numerical order) the first To port connection.
If there are no allocated circuits, the From and To buttons will prompt for bulk
allocation of circuits between the first pair of modules, with the number of
connections based on the lowest capacity end of the selected pair. For instance,
if a 32xE1 link has been selected as the From module and a 16xE1 DAC selected
as the To module, the From and To port buttons will prompt for a 16xE1 bulk
allocation. If such a bulk allocation is not intended, then select the 1st port-to-port
circuit using the Port drop-down menus, and proceed as above.
