In node or network view, click the Circuits tab.
Step 1
Click the VCAT circuit that you want to edit, then click Edit.
Step 2
Click the Members tab.
Step 3
If you want to add a member to a non-LCAS VCAT circuit, complete the following substeps. If you want
Step 4
to add a member to an LCAS VCAT circuit, skip this step and continue with
Select a member with a VCAT State of In Group. The In Group state indicates that a member has
a.
cross-connects in the unlocked-enabled; locked-enabled,automaticInService; or
locked-enabled,maintenance service states.
Click Edit Member.
b.
In the Edit Member Circuit window, click the State tab.
c.
View the cross-connect service state in the CRS Service State column. You will need this
d.
information when choosing the new member state.
Cross-connects of all In Group non-LCAS members must be in the same service state. If all existing
members are in the Out of Group VCAT state, which for non-LCAS members is the
locked-enabled,disabled service state, you can choose any service state for the new member.
From the File menu, choose Close to return to the Edit Circuit window.
e.
Step 5 Click Add Member. The Add Member button is enabled if the VCAT circuit has sufficient bandwidth
for an added member.
Define the number of members and member attributes:
Step 6
• Number of members to add—Choose the number of members to add from the drop-down list. If the
drop-down list does not show a number, the VCAT circuit has the maximum number of members
allowed. The number of members allowed depends on the source and destination card and the
existing size of the circuit. For more information on the number of members allowed for a card, refer
to the "Circuits and Tunnels" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH Reference Manual.
New Circuit Size—(Display only) Automatically updates based on the number of added members.
•
Create cross-connects only (TL1-like)—Check this 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.
State—To add a non-LCAS member to a VCAT with In Group members, choose the state you

viewed in
any of the following states. To add LCAS members, Cisco recommends the locked, outOfGroup
state.

Step 4. To add a non-LCAS member to a VCAT with only Out of Group members, choose
unlocked—Puts the member cross-connects in the unlocked-enabled service state.
locked, outOfGroup—Puts the member cross-connects in the locked-enabled,disabled service
state. Traffic is not passed on the circuit.
Automatic In Service—Puts the member cross-connects in the Out-of-Service and
Autonomous, Automatic In-Service (unlocked-disabled,automaticInService) service state.
When the connections receive a valid signal, the cross-connect service states automatically
change to unlocked-enabled. Automatic In Service is the default state.
locked, maintenance—Puts the member cross-connects in the locked-enabled,maintenance
service state. This service state does not interrupt traffic flow and allows loopbacks to be
performed on the circuit, but suppresses alarms and conditions. Use the locked, maintenance
