If you entered more than 1 in the Number of Circuits field and selected Auto-ranged, CTC
automatically creates the number of circuits entered in Number of Circuits. If auto-ranging cannot
complete all the circuits, for example, because sequential ports are unavailable at the source or
destination, a dialog box appears. Set the new source or destination for the remaining circuits, then
click Finish to continue auto-ranging. After completing the circuits, the Circuits window appears.
If you entered more than 1 in the Number of Circuits field and did not choose Auto-ranged, the
Circuit Creation dialog box appears so you can create the remaining circuits. Repeat Steps
through
10
for each additional circuit. After completing the circuits, the Circuits window appears.

This procedure creates a multicard or single-card EtherSwitch circuit. It
does not apply to E-Series cards in port-mapped mode. To create a
port-mapped mode circuit, see
Card in Port-Mapped Mode, page
E-Series Ethernet cards (E100T-12/E100T-G, E1000-2/E1000-2-G) must
be installed at each end of the Ethernet circuit.
