NTP-A147 Create a G-Series STS Circuit
Define the circuit attributes:
Step 8
Name—Assign a name to the circuit. The name can be alphanumeric and up to 48 characters
•
(including spaces). Circuit names should be 44 characters or less if you want the ability to create
monitor circuits. If you leave the field blank, CTC assigns a default name to the circuit.
Size—Choose the circuit size. Valid circuit sizes for a G-Series circuit are STS-1, STS-3c, STS6c,
•
STS-9c, STS-12c, STS-24c, and STS-48c.
Note
Bidirectional—Leave the default unchanged (checked).
•
Create cross-connects only (TL1-like)—Uncheck this box.
•
State—Choose the administrative state to apply to all of the cross-connects in a circuit:
•
–
–
–
–
•
Apply to drop ports—Leave this box at the default (unchecked).
Note
•
Auto-ranged—Unavailable.
Protected Drops—Leave the default unchanged (unchecked).
•
If the circuit will be routed on a path protection, complete the

Restrictions apply to provisioning multiple circuits on a G-Series card when one of the
circuit sizes provisioned is STS-24c. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual for
complete information.
IS—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the IS-NR service state.
OOS,DSBLD—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state. Traffic is
not passed on the circuit.
IS,AINS—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the OOS-AU,AINS service state and suppresses
alarms and conditions. When the connections receive a valid signal, the service state
automatically changes to IS-NR.
OOS,MT—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the OOS-MA,MT service state. The maintenance
state does not interrupt traffic flow; it suppresses alarms and conditions and allows loopbacks
to be performed on the circuit. Use OOS,MT for circuit testing or to suppress circuit alarms
temporarily. Change the administrative state to IS; IS,AINS; or OOS,DSBLD when testing is
complete. See the
"DLP-A230 Change a Circuit Service State" task on page
Loss of signal alarms are generated if ports in the IS-NR service state are not receiving
signals.

For circuits routed on path protection, check Switch on PDI-P if you desire to override the
G-Series Ethernet Link Integrity feature. Switch on PDI-P configures the card to switch traffic
when an STS payload defect indicator (PDI-P) is received. Under Ethernet Link Integrity, the
PDI-P indication normally triggers a bidirectional failure. Overriding the Ethernet Link Integrity
feature might be desired for applications utilizing dual Gigabit Ethernet feeds from a customer's
location or drop and continue paths.
