Name
|
The circuit name. The name can be alphanumeric and up to 48 characters, (including spaces). Circuit names should be 44 characters or less if you want to preserve the ability to create monitor circuits. If you leave the field blank, CTC assigns a default name to the circuit.

State
|
Lists the administrative states. 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 Out-of-Service and
Management, Disabled (OOS-MA,DSBLD) service state. Traffic is not
passed on the circuit.
IS-Puts the circuit cross-connects in the In-Service, Normal (IS-NR)
service state.
IS,AINS-Puts the circuit cross-connects in the Out-of-Service and
Autonomous, Automatic In-Service (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.
OOS,MT-Puts the circuit cross-connects in the Out-of-Service and
Management, Maintenance (OOS-MA,MT) service state. The OOS-MA,MT
service state does not interrupt traffic flow; it suppresses alarms and
conditions and allows loopbacks to be performed on the circuit. Use the
OOS,MT administrative state for circuit testing or to suppress circuit alarms
temporarily. Change the administrative state to IS; IS,AINS; or
OOS,DSBLD when testing is complete.
