NTP- D324 Create a Manually Routed High-Order Circuit
NTP-D324 Create a Manually 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 3.
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 onML-Series, CE-100T-8 or CE-1000-4 circuits, complete the following as
necessary (you can provision Ethernet or 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 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.
• Auto-ranged—(Applies to automatically routed circuits only) If you entered more than 1 in Number
of Circuits, uncheck this check box. (The check box is unavailable if only one circuit is entered in
Number of Circuits.)
Step 7 Click Next.
Step 8 Define the circuit attributes:
• 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.
Purpose This procedure creates a manually 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.
