Step 11 If you want to set preferences for individual members, complete the following in the Member
Preferences area. Repeat for each member and continue with Step 13. To set identical preferences for all
members, skip this step and continue with Step 12.
a. Number—Choose a number (between 1 and 256) from the drop-down list to identify the member.
b. Name—Type a unique name to identify the member. The name can be alphanumeric and up to
48 characters (including spaces). If you leave the field blank, CTC assigns a default name to the
circuit.
c. Protection—Choose the member protection type:
• Fully Protected—Routes the circuit on a protected path.
• Unprotected—Creates an unprotected circuit.
• PCA—Routes the member on an MS-SPRing protection channel.
Step 12 To set preferences for all members, choose the member protection type:
• Fully Protected—Routes the circuit on a protected path.
• Unprotected—Creates an unprotected circuit.
• PCA—Routes the member on a MS-SPRing protection channel.
Step 13 Click Next. If you chose Fully Protected or PCA, click OK to continue. If not, continue with the next
step.
Step 14 If you selected Using Required Nodes/Spans in Step 10, complete the following substeps. If not,
continue with Step 15:
a. In the Circuit Route Constraints For Auto Routing area, choose the member that you want to route
from the Route member number drop-down list.
b. Click a node or span on the circuit map.
c. Click Include to include the node or span in the circuit, or click Exclude to exclude the node or span
from the circuit. The order in which you choose included nodes and spans is the order in which the
circuit is routed. Click spans twice to change the circuit direction.
d. Repeat Steps b and c for each node or span that you wish to include or exclude.
e. Review the circuit route. To change the circuit routing order, choose a node in the Required
Nodes/Lines or Excluded Nodes Links lists, then click the Up or Down buttons to change the circuit
routing order. Click Remove to remove a node or span.
f. Repeat Steps a through e for each member.
Step 15 If you selected Review Route Before Creation in Step 10, complete the following substeps; otherwise,
continue with Step 16:
a. In the Route Review/Edit area, choose the member that you want to route from the Route member
number drop-down list.
b. Click a node or span on the circuit map.
c. Review the circuit route. To add or delete a circuit span, choose a node on the circuit route. Blue
arrows show the circuit route. Green arrows indicate spans that you can add. Click a span arrowhead,
then click Include to include the span or Remove to remove the span.
d. If the provisioned circuit does not reflect the routing and configuration you want, click Back to
verify and change circuit information. If the circuit needs to be routed to a different path, see the
“NTP-D284 Create a Manually Routed VCAT Circuit” procedure on page 6-101 to assign the circuit
route yourself.
e. Repeat Steps a through d for each member.
