NTP-B79 Create a J1 Path Trace
Table 8-3
J1 Function
Transmit and Receive
Receive Only
If neither port is on a transmit/receive card, you will not be able to complete this task. If one port is on
a transmit/receive card and the other is on a receive-only card, you can set up the transmit string at the
transmit/receive port and the receive string at the receive-only port, but you will not be able to transmit
in both directions.
Choose the STS circuit you want to trace, then double-click it (or click Edit).
Step 3
Step 4 On the Edit Circuit window, click the Show Detailed Map check box at the bottom of the window. A
detailed map of the source and destination ports is displayed.
Step 5 Provision the circuit source transmit string:
a. On the detailed circuit map right-click the circuit source port (the square on the left or right of the
source node icon) and choose Edit J1 Path Trace (port) from the shortcut menu.
b. In the New Transmit String field, enter the circuit source transmit string. Enter a string that makes
the source port easy to identify, such as the node IP address, node name, circuit name, or another
string. If the New Transmit String field is left blank, the J1 transmits a string of null characters.
Click Apply, then click Close.
c.
Step 6 Provision the circuit destination transmit string:
a. On the detailed circuit map, right-click the circuit destination port and choose Edit Path Trace from
the shortcut menu.
b. In the New Transmit String field, enter the string that you want the circuit destination to transmit.
Enter a string that makes the destination port easy to identify, such as the node IP address, node
name, circuit name, or another string. If the New Transmit String field is left blank, the J1 transmits
a string of null characters.
Click Apply.
c.
Provision the circuit destination expected string:
Step 7
a. In the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or Manual
from the Path Trace Mode drop-down menu:

receive from the circuit source in the New Expected String field. If you set the Path Trace Mode field
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 RDI when the STS Path Trace Identifier Mismatch Path (TIM-P) alarm
is displayed. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide for descriptions of alarms and
conditions.

Auto—The first string received from the source port is the baseline. An alarm is raised when a
string that differs from the baseline is received.
Manual—The string entered in the Current Expected String is the baseline. An alarm is raised
when a string that differs from the Current Expected String is received.
