Onsite/Remote
Security Level
Monitor circuits cannot be used with EtherSwitch circuits.
Note
For unidirectional circuits, create a drop to the port where the test equipment is attached.
Note
Log into an ONS 15327 node on the network where you will create the monitor circuit. See the
Step 1
"DLP-B60 Log into CTC" task on page 2-23
Step 2.
From the View menu choose Go to Network View.
Step 2
Click the Circuits tab.
Step 3
Step 4 Choose the bidirectional (2-way) circuit that you want to monitor and double-click it (or click Edit).
