DLP- D140 Change the Node Name, Date, Time, and Contact Information
Note To monitor the J1 path on STM-N ports, the circuit endpoints must be transmitting VC4 J1 and not
VC3 J1.
Step 1 From the View menu, choose Go to Other Node. In the Select Node dialog box, choose the node where
path trace was provisioned on the circuit source and destination ports.
Step 2 Click Circuits.
Step 3 Choose the VC4 circuit that has path trace provisioned on the source and destination ports, then click
Edit.
Step 4 In the Edit Circuit window, click the Show Detailed Map check box at the bottom of the window. A
detailed circuit graphic showing source and destination ports appears.
Step 5 On the detailed circuit map, right-click the circuit STM-N port (the square on the left or right of the
source node icon) and choose Edit Path Trace from the shortcut menu.
Note The STM-N port must be on a receive-only card listed in Table 19-5 on page 19-68. If not, the
Edit Path Trace menu item does not appear.
Step 6 In the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or Manual
from the Path Trace Mode drop-down list:
• Auto—Uses the first string received from the port at the other path trace end as the current expected
string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the baseline is received. For STM-N ports,
Auto is recommended because Manual mode requires you to trace the circuit on the Edit Circuit
window to determine whether the port is the source or destination path.
• Manual—Uses the Current Expected String field as the baseline string. An alarm is raised when a
string that differs from the Current Expected String is received.
Note It is not necessary to set the format (16 or 64 bytes) for the expected string; the path trace process
automatically determines the format.
Step 7 If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Manual, enter the string that the STM-N port should receive in
the New Expected String field. To do this, trace the circuit path on the detailed circuit window to
determine whether the port is in the circuit source or destination path, then set the New Expected String
to the string transmitted by the circuit source or destination. If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Auto,
skip this step.
Step 8 Click Apply, then click Close.
Step 9 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
