Provision the circuit source transmit string:
Step 7
In the detailed circuit map, right-click the circuit source port (the square on the left or right of the
a.
source node icon) and choose Edit J1 Path Trace (port) from the shortcut menu.
In the New Transmit String field, enter the circuit source transmit string. Enter a string that makes
b.
the source port easy to identify, such as the node IP address, node name, circuit name, or another
string. If the New Transmit String field is left blank, the J1 transmits a string of null characters.
Click Apply, then click Close.
c.
Provision the circuit destination transmit string:
Step 8
a. In the detailed circuit map, right-click the circuit destination port and choose Edit Path Trace from
the shortcut menu.
In the New Transmit String field, enter the string that you want the circuit destination to transmit.
b.
Enter a string that makes the destination port easy to identify, such as the node IP address, node
name, circuit name, or another string. If the New Transmit String field is left blank, the J1 transmits
a string of null characters.
Click Apply.
c.
Provision the circuit destination expected string:
Step 9
In the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or Manual
a.
from the Path Trace Mode drop-down list:
If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Manual, enter the string that the circuit destination should
b.
receive from the circuit source in the New Expected String field. If you set the Path Trace Mode field
to Auto, skip this step.
Check the Disable AIS and RDI if TIM-P is detected check box if you want to suppress the alarm
c.
indication signal (AIS) and RDI when the VC Path Trace Identifier Mismatch Path (TIM-P) alarm
appears. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH Troubleshooting Guide for descriptions of alarms
and conditions.
(Check box visibility depends on card selection.) Check the Disable AIS on C2 Mis-Match check
d.
box if you want to suppress the Alarm Indication Signal when a C2 mis-match occurs.
Click Apply, then click Close.
e.
Note
Step 10 Provision the circuit source expected string:
In the Edit Circuit window (with Show Detailed Map chosen) right-click the circuit source port and
a.
choose Edit Path Trace from the shortcut menu.
b. In the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or Manual
from the Path Trace Mode drop-down list:

Auto—The first string received from the source port is the baseline. An alarm is raised when a
•
string that differs from the baseline is received.
Manual—The string entered in the Current Expected String is the baseline. An alarm is raised
•
when a string that differs from the Current Expected String is received.
It is not necessary to set the format (16 bytes for VC low-order path circuits or 64 bytes for
VC high-order path circuits) for the circuit destination expected string; the path trace
process automatically determines the format.
• Auto—Uses the first string received from the port at the other end as the baseline string. An
alarm is raised when a string that differs from the baseline is received.
