NTP-A265 Create a Manually Routed VCAT Circuit
If you want to set preferences for individual members, complete the following in the Member
Step 11
Preferences area. To set identical preferences for all members, skip this step and continue with
Number—Choose a number (between 1 and 256) from the drop-down list to identify the member.
•
Name—Type a unique name to identify the member. The name can be alphanumeric and up to
•
48 characters (including spaces). If you leave the field blank, CTC assigns a default name to the
circuit.
Protection—Choose the member protection type:
•
–
–
–
–
• Node-Diverse Path—(Split-fiber routing only.) Available for each member when Fully Protected is
chosen.
To set preferences for all members, complete the following in the Set Preferences for All Members area:
Step 12
• Protection—Choose the member protection type:
–
–
–
–
Node-Diverse Path—(Split routing only.) Available when Fully Protected is chosen.
•
Click Next. If you chose Fully Protected or PCA, click OK to continue. If not, continue with the next
Step 13
step.
In the Route Review and Edit area, node icons appear so you can route the circuit manually.
Step 14
Complete the
Step 15
Click Finish. If the path does not meet the specified path diversity requirement, CTC displays an error
Step 16
message and allows you to change the circuit path.
Note
When all the circuits are created, the main Circuits window appears. Verify that the circuit you created
Step 17
appear in the window.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
