Configuring Ring Traffic Circuits
3DB 23063 ADAA - Rev 004 July 2007
The important points to note in the example Traffic Circuits window (main view)
are:
• The East and West RACs have both been configured for a capacity of 16xE1.
• The ring has been configured with a capacity of 14xE1, leaving 2xE1 available
as point-to-point capacity in the East and West directions.
• 4 of the protected ring circuits have been drop-insert connected to the DAC 16x
(DATA 2). The balance of 10xE1 circuits, are automatically assigned as
pass-through circuits.
• In the alternative view, all 16 of the available ring circuits have been assigned
to protected ring operation, which has automatically deleted available capacity
for point-to-point use.
• Alternative view also shows drop-insert connections to DAC 2 remaining at
4xE1, to result in the number of pass-through circuits automatically
incrementing to 12xE1.
Ring circuits are default connected as pass-through. Specific configuration of
pass through circuits is not required.
New connections can be set from any module to any other module, for example a
circuit can be set from a RAC to a DAC, or from a DAC to a RAC.
For a new/non-configured module this connections panel will show all RING
circuits as 'pass-through ring circuits'.
To set new connections
1. Use the From and To buttons, and the pass through ring circuits 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 A-5.
• Populate the

connect 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 from its drop-down menu (menu only
applies where there are two or more possible To options).
