NTP- D56 Create a Unidirectional Low-Order VC3 Circuit with Multiple Drops
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-D56 Create a Unidirectional Low-Order VC3 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 On the shelf graphic, verify that XC-VXL-10G or XC-VXL-2.5G cross-connect cards are installed in
Slots 8 and 10.
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—Leave the default unchanged (1).
• Auto-ranged—Unavailable when the Number of Circuits field is 1.
Step 7 Click Next.
Step 8 Define the circuit attributes (Figure 6-6 on page 6-40):
• Name—Assign a name to the circuit. The name can be alphanumeric and up to 48 characters,
(including spaces). Circuit names should be 44 characters or less if you want the ability to create
monitor circuits. If you leave the field blank, CTC assigns a default name to the circuit.
• Size—Choose VC3.
• Bidirectional—Uncheck for this circuit.
• Number of Circuits—Leave the default unchanged (1).
Purpose This procedure creates a unidirectional low-order VC3 circuit with
multiple drops (destinations).
Tools/Equipment XC-VXL-10G or XC-VXL-2.5G cards must be installed at the circuit
source and destination nodes.
