Description
|
Name
|
The overhead circuit name. The name can be alphanumeric and up to 48 characters, (including spaces). If you leave the Name field blank, CTC assigns a default name to the overhead circuit.
|
Type
|
Defines the overhead circuit type:
User Data - F1: (ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15327, and ONS 15454 only) Creates
a user data channel (UDC) circuit on the F1 overhead byte. A UDC circuit
allows you to create a dedicated data channel between ONS nodes.
User Data - D4-D12: (ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15327, and ONS 15454 only)
Creates a creates a user data channel circuit on the Line (D4 to D12)
overhead bytes.
Local Orderwire: (ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15327, and ONS 15454 only)
Creates a local orderwire overhead circuit. Local orderwire circuits require
an AIC or an AIC-I card at the source and destination node. You cannot
create local orderwire circuits if regenerators are used between ONS nodes.
Express Orderwire: (ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15327, and ONS 15454 only)
Creates an express orderwire overhead circuit. Express orderwire circuits
require an AIC or an AIC-I card at the source and destination node.
DCC Tunnel - D1-D3: Creates a DCC tunnel on the SONET Section (D1 to
D3) overhead bytes.
DCC Tunnel - D4-D12: (ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15327, and ONS 15454 only)
Creates a DCC tunnel on the SONET Line (D4 to D12) overhead bytes.
DCC tunnels allow you to tunnel traffic from third-party equipment across
the ONS node network.
IP Tunnel - D1-D3: (ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15454, and ONS 15600 only)
Creates an IP tunnel on the D1 to D3 overhead bytes. The IP tunnel takes
SDCC traffic from non-ONS equipment, encapsulates the traffic into the
TCP/IP UDP (user datagram protocol) and sends it across the ONS network
to the other ONS node.
|
PCM
|
(ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15327, and ONS 15454 only) For orderwire circuits, sets the pulse code modulation (PCM) voice coding and companding standard, either MU_LAW (North America, Japan) or A_LAW (Europe).
|
Maximum Bandwidth
|
(ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15454, and ONS 15600 only) Sets a limit on the SDCC bandwidth allocated for IP tunnels to prevent degradation of ONS DCC processes. The percentage applies to the total SDCC bandwidth available.
