Procedure for Configuring Auxiliary Circuits

2
If, for example, just one AUX data channel is required and is configured for port 6 in the link overhead,
then NMS capacity within the overhead will be reduced to its 128 kbps minimum. If on the other hand
the AUX data channel is configured for port 1, then available NMS capacity will be 448 kbps (512 less
64 kbps).

To view and configure auxiliary circuits:
1. Open the Auxiliary Circuits window from
2. Click on a module row to view existing circuit connections, or to initiate new
connections.
Only installed plug-ins capable of transporting auxiliary traffic are displayed:
AUX, LINK (RACs), and DATA (DAC 155oM).
For a new/non-configured AUX plug-in, the connections box shows all
circuits unallocated.
For a configured AUX, the box shows existing circuit connections as well as
any unallocated circuits.
Toggle up connection details are displayed in summary form in the
port-to-port connections box.
• Click toggle down to view port-to-port details.
3. Circuit connection, disconnection and naming procedures are identical to
Traffic Circuit connections. Refer to Procedure for Configuring Circuits -
Traffic on page 9-9.
4. When allocating ports from AUX to LINK or DATA, the LINK or DATA port
allocations must start at port 1 to avoid unnecessary overhead capacity
reduction for NMS transport
5. To commit the configuration, click
AUX port allocation to LINK or DATA must be in numerical order beginning at
LINK/DATA port 1
