–
Apply to drop ports—Check this check box if you want to apply the state chosen in the State field
•
to the circuit source and destination ports. CTC will apply the circuit state to the ports only if the
circuit bandwidth is the same as the port bandwidth or, if the port bandwidth is larger than the
circuit, the circuit must be the first circuit to use port. If not, a Warning dialog box displays the ports
where the circuit state could not be applied. If the check box is unchecked, CTC will not change the
state of the source and destination ports.
Note
Create cross-connects only (TL1-like)—Check this check box if you want to create one or more
•
cross-connects to complete a signal path for TL1-generated circuits. If this box is checked, you
cannot assign a name to the circuit. Also, VT tunnels and Ethergroup sources and destinations are
unavailable.
• Inter-domain (UCP) SLA—If the circuit will travel on a unified control plane (UCP) channel, enter
the service level agreement number. Otherwise, leave the field set to zero.
• Protected Drops—Check this check box if you want the circuit routed on protected drops only, that
is, to ONS 15327 cards that are in 1:1 or 1+1 protection. If you check this check box, CTC displays
only protected cards and ports as source and destination choices.

OOS-MT—The circuit is in a maintenance state. The maintenance state does not interrupt traffic
flow; it suppresses alarms and conditions and permits loopbacks on the circuit. Use OOS-MT
for circuit testing or to suppress circuit alarms temporarily. Change the state to IS, OOS, or
OOS-AINS when testing is complete. See the
page 8-8.
LOS alarms appear if in service (IS) ports are not receiving signals.
