The routing preferences for the new drop will match those of the original circuit. However, you can
modify the following:
If the original circuit was routed on a protected path, you can change the nodal diversity options:
–
[Required, Desired, Don't Care; Link Diverse only]. See
If the original circuit was not routed on a protected path, the Protection Channel Access options
–
is available. See Step 10
Click OK. The new drop appears in the Drops list.

This task provisions path protection selectors during circuit creation.
Complete this task only if the circuit will be routed on a path protection.

Revertive—Check this check box if you want traffic to revert to the working path when the
conditions that diverted it to the protect path are repaired. If you do not choose Revertive, traffic
remains on the protect path after the switch.
Reversion time—If Revertive is checked, click the Reversion time field and choose a reversion time
from the drop-down menu. The range is 0.5 to 12.0 minutes. The default is 5.0 minutes. This is the
amount of time that will elapse before the traffic reverts to the working path. Traffic can revert when
conditions causing the switch are cleared.
SF threshold—For STS circuits, set the path protection path-level signal failure bit error rate (BER)
thresholds. Unavailable for VT circuits.
SD threshold—For STS circuits, set the path protection path-level signal degrade BER thresholds.
Unavailable for VT circuits.
Switch on PDI-P—For STS circuits, check this check box if you want traffic to switch when an STS
payload defect indicator is received. Unavailable for VT circuits.
