Description
|
Node
|
Sets the circuit drop destination node.
|
Slot
|
Sets the circuit drop slot.
|
Port
|
Sets the circuit drop port.
|
VC4
|
Sets the circuit drop specific VC4.
|
Target Circuit Admin State
|
Lists the administrative states. An administrative state puts the circuit cross-connects into the related service state if network conditions allow:
No Change: The circuit state will not be changed.
unlocked: Puts the circuit cross-connects in the unlocked-enabled service
state.
locked,disabled: Puts the circuit cross-connects in the
locked-enabled,disabled service state. Traffic is not passed on the circuit.
locked,maintenance: Puts the circuit cross-connects in the
locked-enabled,maintenance service state. The
locked-enabled,maintenance service state does not interrupt traffic flow; it
suppresses alarms and conditions and allows loopbacks to be performed on
the circuit. Use the locked,maintenance administrative state for circuit
testing or to suppress circuit alarms temporarily. Change the administrative
state to unlocked; unlocked,automaticInService; or locked,disabled when
testing is complete.
unlocked,automaticInService: Puts the circuit cross-connects in the
unlocked-disabled,automaticInService service state. Alarms and conditions
are suppressed. When the connections receive a valid signal, the service
state automatically changes to unlocked-enabled.
locked,outOfGroup: (VCAT circuits only.) Puts the circuit cross-connects
in the locked-enabled,outOfGroup service state. The locked,outOfGroup
administrative state is used to place a VCAT member circuit out of the group
and to stop sending traffic. locked,outOfGroup only applies to the
cross-connect on the end node where the VCAT resides.
|
Apply to drop ports
|
Applies the state chosen in the Target Circuit Admin State field to the circuit drop port. CTC applies the circuit state to the port only in the following cases:
A Warning dialog box shows the ports where the circuit state could not be applied. If the box is unchecked, CTC does not change the state of the source and destination ports.
|
Route Automatically
|
If checked, CTC routes the circuit automatically based on the parameters that you specify on this pane.
|
Using Required Nodes/Spans
|
If checked, CTC displays a pane allowing you to choose nodes and spans to include in the automatically routed circuit path before circuit completion.
|
Review Route Before Creation
|
If checked, CTC allows you to review and modify the circuit route before circuit creation.
|
Fully Protected Path
|
If checked, CTC creates a fully protected circuit route based on the path diversity option you choose. Fully protected paths might or might not have SNCP path segments (with primary and alternate paths), and the path diversity options apply only to SNCP path segments, if any exist.
|
Nodal Diversity Required
|
Ensures that the primary and alternate paths within SNCP portions of the complete circuit drop path are nodally diverse.
|
Nodal Diversity Desired
|
Specifies that node diversity is preferred, but if node diversity is not possible, CTC creates fiber-diverse paths for the SNCP portion of the complete circuit drop path.
|
Link Diversity Only
|
Specifies that only fiber-diverse primary and alternate paths for SNCP portions of the complete circuit drop path are needed. The paths might be node-diverse, but CTC does not check for node diversity.
|
Protection Channel Access
|
If Fully Protected Path is not checked and the circuit is routed on an MS-SPRing, clicking this check box routes the circuit drop on an MS-SPRing PCA path. Circuits routed on PCAs are unprotected.
|
Finish
|
Creates the circuit drop.
|
Cancel
|
Cancels circuit drop creation.
