STS/VT Allocation (ML-MR-10)
Use the STS/VT Allocation tab to display how provisioned circuits populate the pools. Use this information to free the bandwidth required for provisioning a circuit, if there is not enough existing capacity on any one pool for provisioning the desired circuit. The ML-MR-10 cards have four pools, each with a maximum capacity of three STS-1s with SONET or three VC3s with SDH. All VCAT circuit members must be from the same pool. One of the four memory pools is reserved for the VT VCAT circuits, if sufficient bandwidth exists to support the STS circuits on the remaining three pools. To help prevent stranding bandwidth, provision your STS VCAT circuits first to distribute them evenly.
Note
The four pool structure of an ML-MR-10 card is applicable only when the card is in the auto mode.
 
Item
Description
POS/RPR Port Map area
Displays the port map information.
Port
Identifies the port on which a circuit is provisioned (only one circuit per port is allowed).
Allocation
Displays the number of STSs/VTs used by the circuit provisioned on the port. If the circuits provisioned are VT VCAT, there is a maximum of 64 VT1.5s with SONET.
First STS
Identifies the first STS number that the circuit uses.
STS Map area
Displays the pool utilization information.
STS
Identifies the STS number.
Pool
Identifies the pool number.
Type
Displays the type of circuit the pool currently supports (STS or VT).
Port
Displays the port number.
Retrieve
Updates the POS/RPR Port Map area with current data.
Help
Displays context-sensitive help.
