Chapter 5 Create Circuits and VT Tunnels
In the Create Circuits dialog box, complete the following fields:
Step 7
Name—Assign a name to the cross-connect. 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 cross-connect.
Type—Choose STS.
•
Size—Choose the cross-connect size. For single-card EtherSwitch, the available sizes are STS-1,
•
STS-3c, STS-6c, and STS-12c.
Bidirectional—Leave the default unchanged (checked).
•
Number of circuits—Leave the default unchanged (1).
•
Auto-ranged—Unavailable.
•
State—Choose a service state to apply to the circuit:
•
–
–
–
–
Apply to drop ports—Uncheck this check box.
•
Create cross-connects only (TL1-like)—Uncheck this check box.
•
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—Leave the default unchanged (unchecked).
•
If the circuit will be routed on a path protection, complete the
Step 8
Selectors During Circuit Creation" task on page
Step 9 Click Next.
Step 10 Provision the circuit source:
From the Node drop-down menu choose the cross-connect source node.
a.
From the Slot drop-down menu choose the Ethernet card where you enabled the single-card
b.
EtherSwitch.
Click Next.
Step 11
Provision the circuit destination:
Step 12
From the Node drop-down menu choose the cross-connect circuit source node selected in Step 8.
a.
(For Ethernet cross-connects, the source and destination nodes are the same.)
From the Slot drop-down menu choose the OC-N card that is connected to the non-ONS equipment.
b.
Depending on the OC-N card, choose the port and/or STS from the Port and STS drop-down menus.
c.
Click Next.
Step 13

IS—The circuit is in service.
OOS—The circuit is out of service. Traffic is not passed on the circuit.
OOS-AINS— The circuit is out of service until it receives a valid signal, at which time the
circuit state automatically changes to in service (IS).
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.
