Chapter 6 Create Circuits and Low-Order Tunnels
NTP- D336 Create a Unidirectional Low-Order VC11 Circuit with Multiple Drops
Step 17 Click Next. In the Route Review/Edit area, node icons appear for circuit routing. The circuit source node
is selected. Green arrows pointing from the source node to other network nodes indicate spans that are
available for routing the circuit.
Step 18 Complete the “DLP-D187 Provision a Low-Order VC11 Circuit Route” task on page 18-74 for the VC11
circuit you are creating.
Step 19 Click Finish. CTC compares your manually provisioned circuit route with the specified path diversity
option you chose in Step 14. If the path does not meet the specified path diversity requirement, CTC
displays an error message and allows you to change the circuit path.
Step 20 If you entered more than 1 in the Number of Circuits field, the Circuit Creation dialog box appears so
you can create the remaining circuits. Repeat Steps 6 through 19 for each additional circuit.
Step 21 When all the circuits are created, the main Circuits window appears. Verify that the circuits you created
are correct.
Step 22 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-D336 Create a Unidirectional Low-Order VC11 Circuit with
Multiple Drops
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:
Purpose This procedure creates a unidirectional low-order VC11 circuit with
multiple drops (destinations).
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).
