Circuit Type—Choose STS. STS cross-connects will carry the DS-3 circuit across the ONS 15454
network.
Number of Circuits—Enter the number of DS-3 circuits you want to create. The default is 1.
Auto-ranged—Applies to automatically routed circuits only. If you entered more than 1 in the
Number of Circuits field, uncheck this box. (The box is unavailable if only one circuit is entered in
Number of Circuits.)
(Figure 6-3 on page
Name—Assign a name to the circuit. The name can be alphanumeric and up to 48 characters
(including spaces). Circuit names should be 44 characters or less if you want the ability to create
monitor circuits. If you leave this field blank, CTC assigns a default name to the circuit.
Size—Choose STS-1. For circuits on the DS3i-N-12 card, choose STS-3c. This sets a port group for
ports 1, 4, 7, and 10 using 3 ports at any given time.
Bidirectional—Leave this field checked (default).
Create cross-connects only (TL1-like)—Check this box if you want to create one or more
cross-connects to complete a signal path for TL1-generated circuits. Also, VT tunnels and
Ethergroup sources and destinations are unavailable.
State—Choose the administrative state to apply to all of the cross-connects in a circuit:
IS—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the IS-NR service state.
–
OOS,DSBLD—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state. Traffic is
–
not passed on the circuit.
IS,AINS—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the OOS-AU,AINS service state and suppresses
–
alarms and conditions. When the connections receive a valid signal, the service state
automatically changes to IS-NR.
NTP-A185 Create a Manually Routed DS-3 Circuit
