Description

Drops area

The white area under the tab name shows the names of existing drops. If no circuit drops exist, the area is blank.

Show Detailed Map

If checked, changes the circuit view in the graphic area to show circuit routing information including source slot, port, and VC. The detailed view also shows working and protect circuit paths.

Show VC LO Topology

If checked, displays any low-order path tunnels that carry the low-order path circuit. If the circuit is not carried by a low-order path tunnel, no changes appear when the box is checked.

Show WDM Topology

If checked, hides the TXP and MXP connections on which high-order and low-order circuits are routed, showing only the logical STM-N links. This check box is available only when circuits are routed on TXP or MXP cards provisioned in section or line mode.

Create

Displays the Define New Drop dialog box, which allows you to create a new circuit drop.

Delete

Deletes the circuit drop chosen in the Drops area.
