General


Use the General tab to view circuit information (circuit type, size, protection type, and routing preference), and to modify the circuit name.

Item

Description

Name

Displays the circuit name. To edit the name, click in the field and type the change.

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. (You cannot use Show Detailed Map for virtual concatenated [VCAT] circuits, but you can use it for individual VCAT circuit members.)

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

(ONS 15454 only) If checked, shows the transponder (TXP) and muxponder (MXP) connections on which STS and VT circuits are routed. If not checked, only the logical OC-N links are shown. This check box is available only when circuits are routed on TXP or MXP cards provisioned in section or line mode.

Apply

Applies any edits made to the circuit name.

Reset

Removes any edits made to the circuit name.

Help

Displays CTC context-sensitive help.
