Chapter 7 Create Channels and Circuits
DLP-G76 Provision GCC Terminations
Step 6 As needed, complete the “DLP-G107 Create an IP-Encapsulated Tunnel” task on page 7-17, then
continue with the next step.
Step 7 After creating an IP-encapsulated tunnel, put the ports that are hosting the IP-encapsulated tunnel in
service. See the “DLP-G108 Change the Service State for a Port” task on page 7-18.
Step 8 As needed, complete the “DLP-G109 Provision Orderwire” task on page 7-19.
Step 9 As needed, complete the “DLP-G110 Create a User Data Channel Circuit” task on page 7-20.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
DLP-G76 Provision GCC Terminations
Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Comm Channels > GCC tabs.
Step 2 In the GCC Terminations area, click Create.
Step 3 In the Create OTN GCC Terminations dialog box, click the ports where you want to create the GCC
termination. To select more than one port, press the Shift key or the Ctrl key.
Note GCC refers to the general communications channel, which is used for ONS 15454 transponders
and muxponders in DWDM applications.
Step 4 (Optional) From the GCC Rate drop-down list, choose from two options:
• 192k is the line rate of Section DCC (SDCC)—This is the default option.
• 576k is the line rate of Line DCC (LDCC)—This option will be supported in a future software
release.
Step 5 Click Set to IS if you want to put ports in service.
Step 6 If the SDCC termination is to include a non-ONS node, check the Far End is Foreign check box. This
automatically sets the far-end node IP address to 0.0.0.0, which means that any address can be specified
by the far end. To change the default to a specific the IP address, see the “DLP-G184 Change a GCC
Termination” task on page 10-40.
Step 7 In the Layer 3 box, perform one of the following:
• Check the IP box only if the LDCC is between the ONS 15454 and another ONS node and only ONS
nodes reside on the network. The LDCC will use Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).
Purpose This task creates the DWDM GCC terminations required for network setup
when using the TXP_MR_10G, TXP_MR_2.5G, TXPP_MR_2.5G, and
MXP_2.5G_10G cards. Perform this task before you create circuits for
these cards. In this task, you can also set up the node so that it has direct
IP access to a far-end non-ONS node over the GCC network.
