(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 DWDM OCHNCs, OCHNC DCNs, OCHCCs, and OCH trails.
|
|
|
Sets the circuit name. The name can be alphanumeric and up to 48 characters, (including spaces).
|
|
Displays the circuit type chosen in the Circuit Creation page.
|
|
For OCHNCs and OCH trails, displays Equipped non-specific.
For OCH CCs, sets the circuit type and payload:
• |
SONET —If you choose SONET, choose one of the following from the drop-down list: OC-192, OC-48, OC-12, or OC-3. |
• |
Ethernet —If you choose Ethernet, choose 10GE or 1GE from the drop-down list. |
• |
FC/Ficon —If you choose FC/Ficon, choose one of the following: 10GFC, 4GFC, 2GFC, 1GFC, 4GFiCon, 2GFiCon, or 1GFiCon. |
• |
Data/Storage —If you choose Data/Storage, choose one of the following: ESCON, ETR-CLO, ISC PEER, ISC3 PEER 1G, ISC3 PEER 2G, or ISC COMPAT. |
• |
Video —If you choose Video, choose HDTV, SD1/D1, or DV6000. |
• |
Other —Sets the circuit to pass-through. |
|
|
Sets the optical channel network connection wavelength. For wavelength details, see OCHNC Channels. Choose C-Band or L-Band. For OCH CC circuits, choose Odd or Even. The available wavelengths are 40 for odd and 40 for even for L-Band; 41 for odd and 41 for even for C-Band.
|
|
(Applies to Release 6.0 and earlier; does not apply to Release 7.0 and later) For OCHNC circuits, sets the OCHNC 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. |
|
|
If checked, creates a bidirectional circuit. This option is not available if you check OCHNC DCN.
|
|
If checked, creates an OCHNC DCN circuit. OCHNC DCN circuits cannot be bidirectional. An OCHDC DCN circuit enables two nodes to have a communication channel that can be used for monitoring and control without an OSC.
|
|
Sets the service state. An administrative state puts the circuit cross-connects into the related service state if network conditions allow:
• |
OOS,DSBLD —Puts the circuit cross-connects in the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state. Traffic is not passed on the circuit. |
• |
IS —Puts the circuit cross-connects in the IS-NR service state. |
For additional state information, see States.
(OCHCC only) To change the port state, check the Apply to OCHCC ports check box and choose the desired state for the ports:
• |
OOS,DSBLD —Puts the circuit cross-connects in the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state. Traffic is not passed on the circuit. |
• |
IS —Puts the circuit cross-connects in the IS-NR service state. |
• |
IS,AINS —Puts the circuit cross-connects in the OOS-AU,AINS service state. Alarms and conditions are suppressed. When the connections receive a valid signal, the service state automatically changes to IS-NR. |
|
|
(Splitter protection cards only) Check the Protection check box to route the OCHCC on a protected path.
|
|
(OCHCC only) If checked, traffic reverts to the working path when the conditions that diverted it to the protect path are repaired. If unchecked, traffic remains on the protect path after the switch.
|
|
(OCHCC only) Available when Revertive is checked. Sets the amount of time that will elapse before traffic reverts to the working path. Traffic can revert when conditions causing the switch are cleared. The range is 0.5 to 12.0 minutes. The default is 5.0 minutes.
|
|
(OCHCC and OCH trail only) Sets the OTN lines according to ITU-T G.709.
|
|
(OCHCC and OCH trail only) Sets the forward error correction (FEC) mode for OTN lines. FEC mode can be Disabled, Enabled, or Enhanced (provides greater range and lower bit error rate). The FEC check box is enabled when G.709 OTN is chosen.
|
|
(OCHCC and OCH trail only) Displays the path-level signal failure bit error rate (BER) threshold.
|
|
(OCHCC and OCH trail only) Sets the path-level signal degrade BER thresholds. Valid entries are IE-5, IE-6, IE-7, IE-8, and IE-9.
|
|
(OCHCC and OCH trail only) Sets the mapping to Asynchronous or Synchronous. The card can perform multiplexing per ITU-T G.709. The ODUk (client SONET/SDH payload) can be mapped to the Optical Channel (OTUk) either asynchronously or synchronously with this setting.
