G1K1toG1K6.
Leave the Bidirectional check box checked.
Click Next.
In the Circuit Creation source dialog box, select the same Node, Slot, Port, VC, and Tug where the
test set is connected.
Click Next.
In the Circuit Creation destination dialog box, use the same Node, Slot, Port, VC, and Tug used for
the source dialog box.
Click Next.
In the Circuit Creation circuit routing preferences dialog box, leave all defaults. Click Finish.
It is normal for the
