• 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.
2. Click .
Apply
The newly connected circuit is shown in the port-to-port connections box, and
the number of pass-through circuits is reduced accordingly.
• Continue to click Apply to establish subsequent new circuit connections
between the same modules. This connection is made in ascending numerical
order on the port numbers first established.
• To establish new connections between a different pair of modules, use the
From and To module and port settings to define the first connection, and
then click Apply. Continue to click Apply to advance the connections.
3. When all connections have been set, click Send to save.
