Chapter 6 Create Circuits and Low-Order Tunnels
NTP- D335 Create a Manually Routed Low-Order VC11 Circuit
• If you entered more than 1 in the Number of Circuits field and did not choose Auto-ranged, the
Circuit Creation dialog box appears so you can create the remaining circuits. Repeat Steps 6
through 18 for each additional circuit. After completing the circuits, the Circuits window appears.
Step 20 In the Circuits window, verify that the new circuits appear in the circuits list.
Step 21 Complete the “NTP-D135 Test Low-Order Circuits” procedure on page 6-53. Skip this step if you built
a test circuit.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-D335 Create a Manually Routed Low-Order VC11 Circuit
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-D60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-49 at an ONS 15454 SDH on the network
where you will create the circuit. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 Complete the following:
a. On the shelf graphic, verify that XC-VXC-10G cross-connect cards are installed in Slots 8 and 10.
b. Click the Provisioning > Cross-Connect tabs and set the Low Order Payload Type to VC-11 or
VC-11 and VC-12 (Mixed Mode).
Step 3 If you want to assign a name to the circuit source and destination ports before you create the circuit,
complete the “DLP-D314 Assign a Name to a Port” task on page 20-7. If you want CTC to assign a name
automatically based on circuit type, node name, and sequence number, continue with Step 4.
Step 4 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 5 Click the Circuits tab, then click Create.
Step 6 In the Circuit Creation dialog box, complete the following fields:
• Circuit Type—Choose VC_LO_PATH_CIRCUIT.
• Number of Circuits—Enter the number of VC11 circuits that you want to create. The default is 1. If
you are creating multiple circuits with the same slot and consecutive port numbers, you can use
Auto-ranged to create the circuits automatically.
• Auto-ranged—This check box is automatically checked if you enter more than 1 in the Number of
Circuits field. Auto-ranging creates identical (same source and destination), sequential circuits
automatically. Uncheck the box if you do not want CTC to create sequential circuits automatically.
Step 7 Click Next.
Purpose This procedure creates a low-order VC11 circuit and allows you to
provision the circuit route.
Tools/Equipment The following cards must be installed at the circuit source and destination
nodes: XC-VXC-10G and optical cards (STM-N or MRC-12).
