Before You Begin
From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 2
Click the Circuits tab.
Step 3
For the VC low-order path circuit you want to monitor, verify that the source and destination ports are
Step 4
on a card that can transmit and receive the path trace string.
Note
Choose the VC low-order path circuit you want to trace, then click Edit.
Step 5
In the Edit Circuit window, click the Show Detailed Map check box at the bottom of the window. A
Step 6
detailed map of the source and destination ports appears.
Provision the circuit source transmit string:
Step 7
On the detailed circuit map, right-click the circuit source port (the square on the left or right of the
a.
source node icon) and choose Edit J2 Path Trace (port) from the shortcut menu.
In the New Transmit String field, enter the circuit source transmit string. Enter a string that makes
b.
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 J2 transmits a string of null characters.
Click Apply, then click Close.
c.
Provision the circuit destination transmit string:
Step 8
On the detailed circuit map, right-click the circuit destination port and choose Edit Path Trace from
a.
the shortcut menu.
In the New Transmit String field, enter the string that you want the circuit destination to transmit.
b.
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 J2 transmits
a string of null characters.
Click Apply.
c.
Step 9 Provision the circuit destination expected string:
a. On the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or
Manual 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
b.
receive from the circuit source in the New Expected String field. If you set Path Trace Mode to Auto,
skip this step.
(Check box visibility depends on card selection) Click the Disable AIS on C2 Mis-Match check
c.
box if you want to suppress the Alarm Indication Signal when a C2 mismatch occurs.
Click Apply, then click Close.

If neither port is on a transmit/receive card, you will not be able to complete this procedure. 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.
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.
