Circuit Attributes: OCHNC


(ONS 15454 only) Use the Circuit Attributes page to provision basic circuit parameters. The following table describes the Circuit Attributes page fields and buttons that appear for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical channel network connections (OCHNCs).

Item

Description

Name

The circuit name. The name can be alphanumeric and up to 48 characters, (including spaces). Circuit names should be 44 characters or less if you want to preserve the ability to create monitor circuits. If you leave the field blank, CTC assigns a default name to the circuit.

Type

(Display only) Displays the type chosen in the Circuit Creation page.

Size

(Display only) Displays Equipped non-specific.

OCHNC Channel

Sets the optical channel network connection wavelength. Thirty-two wavelengths are available.

OCHNC Direction

Sets the optical channel network connection direction. Valid entries are East to West or West to East. Choose the line direction, either West to East to East to West. By default, West refers to ports located in Slots 1 to 7, and East refers to the ports located in Slots 11 to 17.

  • West to East-West is the receive (Rx) path and east is the transmit (Tx) path

  • East to West-East is the Rx path and west is the Tx path

Bidirectional

If checked, creates a bidirectional circuit.
