Ethernet circuits may have a circuit-size mismatch. For example, a circuit size of STS-3c might have
been configured on the first ONS 15327 and circuit size of STS-12c might have been configured on the
second ONS 15327. To troubleshoot this occurrence of the CARLOSS alarm, refer to

Procedure: Provision a Multicard EtherSwitch Manual Cross-Connect
Step 1 Display CTC for one of the ONS 15327 Ethernet circuit endpoints.
Double-click one of the Ethernet cards that will carry the circuit.
Step 2
Click the Provisioning > Card tabs.
Step 3
Under Card Mode, verify that Multi-card EtherSwitch Group is checked.
Step 4
If the Multi-card EtherSwitch Group is not checked, check it and click Apply.
Step 5 Display the node view.
Step 6 Repeat Steps 2–5 for any other Ethernet cards in the ONS 15327 that will carry the circuit.
Step 7 Click the Circuits tab and click Create.
The Circuit Creation (Circuit Attributes) dialog box appears
