Chapter 5 Create Circuits and VC Low-order Path Tunnels
To provision a VCAT circuit that traverses through a third-party network, complete the
•
Create a Server Trail" procedure on page
Step 3 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Click the Circuits tab, then click Create.
Step 4
In the Circuit Creation dialog box, choose VC_HO_Path_Circuit or VC_LO_Path_Circuit or any
Step 5
other circuit type from the Circuit Type drop-down list.
Step 6 Click Next.
Define the circuit attributes:
Step 7
Name—Assign a name to the circuit. 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 circuit.
• Type—Displays the circuit type you chose in
• Bidirectional—Checked is the default. You cannot change it.
• Create cross-connects only (TL1-like)—Check this box if you want to create one or more
cross-connects to complete a signal path for TL1-generated circuits.
• State—Choose the administrative state to apply to all of the member cross-connects in a VCAT
circuit:
–
–
–
–
–
• Apply to drop ports—Check this check box to apply the unlocked administrative state to the circuit
source and destination ports. CTC applies the administrative 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 is the first circuit to use the port. If not, a Warning dialog box shows the ports where the
administrative state could not be applied. If the check box is unchecked, CTC does not change the
service state of the source and destination ports.
Note

unlocked—Puts the member cross-connects in the unlocked-enabled service state.
locked, outOfGroup—Puts the member cross-connects in the locked-enabled,disabled service
state. Traffic is not passed on the circuit.
Automatic In Service—Puts the member cross-connects in the Out-of-Service and
Autonomous, Automatic In-Service (unlocked-disabled,automaticInService) service state.
When the connections receive a valid signal, the cross-connect service states automatically
change to unlocked-enabled.
locked, maintenance—Puts the member cross-connects in the locked-enabled,maintenance
service state. This service state does not interrupt traffic flow and allows loopbacks to be
performed on the circuit, but suppresses alarms and conditions. Use the locked, maintenance
administrative state for circuit testing or to suppress circuit alarms temporarily. Change the
administrative state to unlocked; OOS; or Automatic In Service when testing is complete.
locked, outOfGroup—(LCAS only) Puts VCAT member cross-connects in the Out-of-Service
and Management, Out-of-Group (locked-enabled,outOfGroup) service state. This
administrative state is used to put a member circuit out of the group and to stop sending traffic.
locked-enabled,outOfGroup applies only to the cross-connects on an end node where VCAT
resides. The cross-connects on intermediate nodes are in the locked-enabled,maintenance
service state.
If ports managed into the unlocked administrative state are not receiving signals, loss of
signal alarms are generated and the port service state transitions to unlocked-disabled,FLT.
