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.
Circuit Type
Displays circuit types. Types are specific synchronous transport signal (STS circuit), virtual tributary (VT circuit), VTT (VT tunnel), IPT (IP tunnel), VAP (VT aggregation point), STS-V (STS VCAT circuit), and VT-V (VT VCAT circuit).
Circuit Size
Displays the circuit size, which depends on the source and destination card/port. VT circuits are 1.5. STS circuit sizes are STS-1, STS-3c (concatenated), STS-6c, STS-9c, STS-12c, STS-18c, STS-24c, STS-36c, STS-48c, STS-96c, or STS-192c.
Protection Type
Displays the type of circuit protection. See Circuit Protection Types for more information about protection types and ONS nodes that support them.
Routing Preference
Displays the circuit routing parameters. See Circuit Routing Preferences for more information about routing preference types.
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 where 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.
End Points tab
(SVLAN circuit only) Displays unidirectional circuits and ONS 15454 EtherSwitch Ethernet circuits.
Create
Displays the Define New Drop dialog. See Define New Drop for information on defining a dro.
Show Detailed Map
If checked, displays a detailed map that allows you to open a port or create a path trace by clicking a port on the map. You can also open a node or reset the node position by clicking on a node on the map. If 802.17 RPR mode is enabled, the port displays as pRPR East or pRPR West. The map shows circuit routing information including source slot, port, specific STS, and VT. The detailed view also shows working and protect circuit paths. (You cannot use Show Detailed Map for VCAT circuits, but you can use it for individual VCAT circuit members.)
Apply
Applies any edits made to the circuit name.
Reset
Removes any edits made to the circuit name.
Help
Displays CTC context-sensitive help.
