|
Displays the card port number.
|
|
Allows you to enter a port name.
|
|
Sets the port administration state. Choose an administrative state from the drop-down list and click Apply to change the port service state unless network conditions prevent the change.
Administrative states include:
• |
IS —Puts the port in-service. The port service state changes to In-Service and Normal (IS-NR). |
• |
OOS,DSBLD —Removes the port from service and disables it. The port service state changes to Out-of-Service and Management, Disabled (OOS-MA,DSBLD). |
• |
OOS,MT —Removes the port from service for maintenance. The port service state changes to Out-of-Service and Management, Maintenance (OOS-MA,MT). For loopbacks, the OOS,MT admin state must be initiated. |
• |
IS,AINS —Puts the port in automatic in-service. The port service state changes to Out-of-Service and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service (OOS-AU,AINS). |
Note |
CTC will not allow you to change a port service state from IS-NR to OOS-MA,DSBLD. You must first change a port to the OOS-MA,MT service state before putting it in the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state. |
|
|
Shows the autonomously generated state that gives the overall condition of the port. Service states appear in the format: Primary State-Primary State Qualifier, Secondary State. For additional state information, see States.
|
|
Sets the signal failure bit error rate.
|
|
Sets the signal degrade bit error rate.
|
|
If checked, provisions the card as a network element (NE) timing reference.
|
|
Enables synchronization status messages (S1 byte), which allow the node to choose the best timing source.
|
|
Click Show to view the synchronization status message (SSM):
• |
PRS —Primary Reference Source (Stratum 1) |
|
|
(Does not apply to all cards) Sets the available band.
|
|
Sets the wavelength frequency.
|
|
If the node does not receive a SSM signal, it defaults to STU (synchronization traceability unknown). Admin SSM allows you to override the STU value with one of the following:
• |
PRS —Primary Reference Source (Stratum 1) |
|
|
When checked, sends a special DUS (0xff) (do not use) message on the S1 byte.
|
|
When checked, sends a DUS (do not use) message on the S1 byte.
|
|
Sets the synchronous transport signal (STS) that will be used for monitoring pointer justification. If set to zero, no STS is used.
|
|
(Does not apply to all cards) Displays the port rate set for the pluggable port module (PPM).
|
|
Sets the automatic in-service soak timer, which sets the time left before the traffic/termination transitions to the IS-NR service state.
|
|
Provisions the card for SONET or SDH. Enable Sync Msg and Send Do Not Use must be disabled before the port can be set to SDH.
|
|
Remaps the extended byte that carries information governing bidirectional line switched ring (BLSR) protection switches. The K3 byte should not be changed unless specifically required to run an ONS BLSR through third-party equipment.
|
|
Provisions the reach value. You can also choose Auto Provision, which allows the system to automatically provision the reach from the PPM reach value on the hardware. The reach distances follow (the options that appear in the drop-down list depend on the card):
• |
SR (short reach, up to 2-km distance) |
• |
SR-1 (up to 2-km distance) |
• |
IR-1 (intermediate reach, up to 15-km distance) |
• |
IR-2 (up to 40-km distance) |
• |
LR-1 (long reach, up to 40-km distance) |
• |
LR-2 (up to 80-km distance) |
• |
LR-3 (up to 80-km distance) |
|
|
Provisions automatic laser shutdown:
• |
Disable —ALS is off; the laser is not automatically shut down when traffic outages (loss of signal [LOS]) occur. |
• |
Auto Restart —ALS is on; the laser automatically shuts down when traffic outages (LOS) occur. It automatically restarts when the conditions that caused the outage are resolved. |
• |
Manual Restart —ALS is on; the laser automatically shuts down when traffic outages (LOS) occur. However, the laser must be manually restarted when conditions that caused the outage are resolved. |
• |
Manual Restart for Test —Manually restarts the laser for testing. |
|
|
Applies changes made to the fields in the tab.
|
|
Cancels any changes to the tab and returns the fields to their last-saved settings.
|
|
Displays context-sensitive help.
