Line


Use the Line subtab to provision the line parameters for the E3-12 card.

Port

(Display only.) The card port number.

Port Name

The name of the electrical port.

Admin State

Administrative states are used to manage service states. Administrative states consist of Primary States (PST) and Secondary States (SST).

Note     A change in the administrative state of an entity does not change the service state of supporting or supported entities.

The PSTs are:

  • unlocked: Puts the entity in-service.

  • locked,disabled: Removes the entity from service and disables it.

  • locked,maintenance: Removes the entity from service for maintenance.

  • unlocked,automaticInservice: Puts the entity in automatic in-service.

  • locked,outOfGroup: Virtual concatenated [VCAT] circuits only.) Removes a VCAT member cross-connect from service and from the group of members.

The SSTs are:

  • automaticInService: The entity is delayed before transitioning to the Unlocked-enabled service state. The transition to Unlocked-enabled depends on correction of conditions, or on a soak timer. Alarm reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried. Raised fault conditions, whether or not their alarms are reported, can be retrieved on the CTC Conditions tab or by using the TL1 RTRV-COND command.

  • disabled: The entity was manually removed from service and does not provide its provisioned functions. All services are disrupted; the entity is unable to carry traffic.

  • loopback: The entity is in loopback mode.

  • mismatchOfEquipment: An improper card is installed, the cross-connect does not support the card, or the backplane is incompatible. For example, an installed card is not compatible with the card pre-provisioning or the slot. This SST applies only to cards.

  • maintenance: The entity has been manually removed from service for a maintenance activity but still performs its provisioned functions. Alarm reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried. Raised fault conditions, whether or not their alarms are reported, can be retrieved on the CTC Conditions tab or by using the TL1 RTRV-COND command.

  • outOfGroup: The VCAT member cross-connect is not used to carry VCAT group traffic. This state is used to put a member circuit out of the group and to stop sending traffic. Locked-enabled,outOfGroup only applies to the cross-connects on an end node where VCAT resides. The cross-connects on intermediate nodes are in the Locked-enabled,maintenance service state.

  • softwareDownload: The card is involved in a software download. This SST applies only to cards. After activation to the new load, every card that is in unlocked-enabled will transition to softwareDownload.

  • unassigned: The card is not provisioned in the database. This SST applies only to cards.

  • notInstalled: The card is not physically present (that is, an empty slot). This SST applies only to cards.

Service State

Indicates the card port service state. Service states appear in the format: Administrative State-Operational State, Status Attribute. Port service states include:

  • unlocked-enabled: The port is fully operational and performing as provisioned.

  • locked-enabled,disabled: The port is out-of-service and unable to carry traffic.

  • locked-enabled,maintenance: The port is out-of-service for maintenance. Alarm reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried and loopbacks are allowed.

  • unlocked-disabled,automaticInService: The port is out-of-service, but traffic is carried. Alarm reporting is suppressed. The ONS node monitors the ports for an error-free signal. After an error-free signal is detected, the port stays in unlocked-disabled, automaticInService state for the duration of the soak period. After the soak period ends, the port service state changes to unlocked-enabled.

SF BER

Sets the signal failure bit error rate.

SD BER

Sets the signal degrade bit error rate.

AINS Soak

Auto-in service soak. The amount of time left before the traffic/termination transitions to IS state.

Apply

Applies changes made to the fields in the tab.

Reset

Cancels any changes to the tab and returns the fields to their last-saved settings.
