NTP- D323 Create an Automatically Routed High-Order Circuit
NTP-D323 Create an Automatically Routed High-Order 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 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 5.
Step 3 If you are creating a circuit on G-Series cards, complete the “DLP-D222 Provision G-Series Ethernet
Ports” task on page 19-21 before or after you create the G-Series circuit.
Step 4 If you are creating a circuit on ML-Series, CE-100T-8 or CE-1000-4 circuits, complete the following as
necessary (you can provision Ethernet or packet-over-SDH (POS) ports before or after the VCAT circuit
is created):
• To provision Ethernet ports for CE-100T-8 circuits, complete the “DLP-D136 Provision CE-100T-8
Ethernet Ports” task on page 18-30.
• To provision Ethernet ports for CE-1000-4 circuits, complete the “DLP-D211 Provision CE-1000-4
Ethernet Ports” task on page 19-8.
• To provision POS ports for CE-100T-8 or CE-1000-4 circuits, complete the “DLP-D141 Provision
CE-100T-8 and CE-1000-4 POS Ports” task on page 18-33.
• To provision Ethernet ports for ML-Series circuits, complete the “DLP-D493 Provision the Ethernet
Port of the ML-Series Card” task on page 21-49.
• To provision POS ports for ML-Series circuits, complete the “DLP-D494 Provision the POS Port of
the ML-Series Card” task on page 21-50.
Step 5 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 6 Click the Circuits tab, then click Create.
Step 7 In the Circuit Creation dialog box, complete the following fields:
• Circuit Type—Choose VC_HO_PATH_CIRCUIT.
• Number of Circuits—Enter the number of high-order circuits that you want to create. The default
is 1. If you are creating multiple circuits with the same source and destination, you can use
auto-ranging to create the circuits automatically.
• Auto-ranged—This check box is automatically selected when you enter more than 1 in the Number
of Circuits field. Leave this check box selected if you are creating multiple high-order circuits with
the same source and destination and you want CTC to create the circuits automatically. Uncheck the
box if you do not want CTC to create the circuits automatically.
Step 8 Click Next.
Purpose This procedure creates an automatically routed bidirectional or
unidirectional high-order circuit, including VC4 and concatenated
VC4-2c, VC4-3c, VC4-4c, VC4-8c, VC4-16c, and VC4-64c speeds.
