Provision the circuit destination expected string:
Step 9
In the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or Manual
a.
from the Path Trace Mode drop-down list:
•
•
If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Manual, enter the string that the circuit destination should

receive from the circuit source in the New Expected String field. If you set Path Trace Mode to Auto,
skip this step.
Click the Disable AIS and RDI if TIM-P is detected check box if you want to suppress the alarm

indication signal (AIS) and remote defect indication (RDI) when the STS Path Trace Identifier
Mismatch Path (TIM-P) alarm appears. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide for
descriptions of alarms and conditions.
(Check box visibility depends on card selection.) Click the Disable AIS on C2 Mis-Match check
d.
box if you want to suppress the AIS when a C2 mismatch occurs.
Click Apply, then click Close.

Note
Step 10 Provision the circuit source expected string:
a. In the Edit Circuit window (with Show Detailed Map chosen, see
right-click the circuit source port and choose Edit Path Trace from the shortcut menu.
b. In the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or Manual
from the Path Trace Mode drop-down list:
•
•
c. If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Manual, enter the string that the circuit source should receive
from the circuit destination in the New Expected String field. If you set Path Trace Mode to Auto,
skip this step.
Click the Disable AIS and RDI if TIM-P is detected check box if you want to suppress the AIS
d.
and RDI when the TIM-P alarm appears. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide for
descriptions of alarms and conditions.
(Check box visibility depends on card selection.) Click the Disable AIS on C2 Mis-Match check

Note
After you set up the path trace, the received string appears in the Received field on the path trace setup
Step 11
window. The following options are available:
September 2005
Auto—The first string received from the source port is automatically provisioned as the current
expected string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the baseline is received.
Manual—The string entered in the Current Expected String field is the baseline. An alarm is
raised when a string that differs from the Current Expected String is received.
It is not necessary to set the format (16 or 64 bytes) for the circuit destination expected string;
the path trace process automatically determines the format.
Auto—Uses the first string received from the port at the other path trace end as the baseline
string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the baseline is received.
Manual—Uses the Current Expected String field as the baseline string. An alarm is raised when
a string that differs from the Current Expected String is received.
It is not necessary to set the format (16 or 64 bytes) for the circuit source expected string; the
path trace process automatically determines the format.
