NTP-B181 Create an Automatically Routed DS-1 Circuit
Auto-ranged—This check box is automatically selected if you enter more than 1 in the Number of
•
circuits field. Auto-ranging creates identical (same source and destination) sequential circuits
automatically. Uncheck this check box if you do not want CTC to create sequential circuits
automatically.
• State—Choose a service state to apply to the circuit:
–
–
–
–
Note
Apply to drop ports—Check this check box you want to apply the state chosen in the State field to
•
the circuit source and destination ports. CTC will apply the circuit state to the ports only if the circuit
bandwidth is the same as the port bandwidth or, if the port bandwidth is larger than the circuit, the
circuit must be the first circuit to use port. If not, a Warning dialog box displays the ports where the
circuit state could not be applied. If the check box is unchecked, CTC will not change the state of
the source and destination ports.
Note
Create cross-connects only (TL1-like)—Check this check box if you want to create one or more
•
cross-connects to complete a signal path for TL1-generated circuits. If this box is checked, you
cannot assign a name to the circuit. Also, VT tunnels and Ethergroup sources and destinations are
unavailable.
• Inter-domain (UCP) SLA—If the circuit will travel on a unified control plane (UCP) channel, enter
the service level agreement number. Otherwise, leave the field set to zero.
• Protected Drops—Check this check box if you want the circuit routed on protected drops only, that
is, to ONS 15327 cards that are in 1:1 or 1+1 protection. If you check this check box, CTC displays
only protected cards and ports as source and destination choices.

IS—The circuit is in service.
OOS—The circuit is out of service. Traffic is not passed on the circuit.
OOS-AINS—The circuit is out of service until it receives a valid signal, at which time the
circuit state automatically changes to in service (IS).
OOS-MT—The circuit is in a maintenance state. The maintenance state does not interrupt traffic
flow; it suppresses alarms and conditions and permits loopbacks on the circuit. Use OOS-MT
for circuit testing or to suppress circuit alarms temporarily. Change the state to IS, OOS, or
OOS-AINS when testing is complete. See the
page 8-8.
If VT circuit source and destination ports are in an OOS_AINS, OOS_MT, or IS state, VT
circuits in OOS_AINS will change to IS even if a physical signal is not present. Refer to the
Cisco ONS 15327 Reference Manual for more information.
LOS alarms are generated if in service (IS) ports are not receiving signals.
