Use the Monitors tab to create circuits that monitor other circuits.

Item

Description

Select Monitor Source

Lists circuit spans that you can choose as the monitor circuit source.

Show Detailed Map

If checked, changes the circuit view in the graphic area to show circuit routing information including source slot, port, specific synchronous transport signal (STS), and virtual tributary (VT). The detailed view also shows working and protect circuit paths.

Show VT Topology

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

Show WDM Topology

If checked, hides the transponder (TXP) and muxponder (MXP) connections on which STS and VT circuits are routed, showing only the logical OC-N links. This check box is available only when circuits are routed on TXP or MXP cards provisioned in section or line mode.

Create Monitor Circuit

Displays the Circuit Destination pane of the Create Circuit wizard, which allows you to choose the monitor circuit destination for the circuit span chosen as the monitor source.

Help

Displays CTC context-sensitive help.
