NTP-B190 Create a Unidirectional Optical Circuit with Multiple Drops
Size—Choose the circuit size: STS-1, STS-3c, STS-6c, STS-9c, STS-12c, STS-24c, or STS-48c.
•
Bidirectional—Uncheck this check box for this circuit.
•
Number of circuits—Leave the default unchanged (1).
•
Auto-ranged—Unavailable when the Number of Circuits field is 1.
•
State—Choose a service state to apply to the circuit:
•
–
–
–
–
Apply to drop ports—Check this check box if 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 not checked, 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 to protect 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 as source and destination choices.
If the circuit will be routed on a path protection, set the path protection path selectors. See the

any exist.

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.
LOS alarms appear if in service (IS) ports are not receiving signals.
