In this procedure, cross-connect refers to a circuit connection created within the same node between the
Note
Ethernet card and an OC-N card connected to third-party equipment. You create cross-connects at the
source and destination nodes so an Ethernet circuit can be routed from source to destination across
third-party equipment.

This procedure manually creates Multicard EtherSwitch cross-connects
between E-Series Ethernet cards and OC-N cards connected to non-ONS
equipment.
E-Series Ethernet cards must be installed at the circuit source node.

Name—Assign a name to the source cross-connect. 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 the field blank, CTC assigns a default name to the source
cross-connect.
Type—Choose STS.
Size—Choose the size of the circuit that will be carried by the cross-connect. For multicard
EtherSwitch circuits, the available sizes are STS-1 and STS-3c.
Bidirectional—Leave checked.
Number of circuits—Leave the default unchanged (1).
Auto-ranged—Unavailable.
State—Choose a service state to apply to the circuit:
IS—The circuit is in service.
–
– OOS—The circuit is out of service. Traffic is not passed on the circuit.
