Chapter 6 Create Circuits and VT Tunnels
NTP-A183 Create a Unidirectional DS-1 Circuit with Multiple Drops
Step 19 If you entered more than 1 in the Number of Circuits field, the Circuit Creation dialog box appears so
you can create the remaining circuits. Repeat Steps 5 through 18 for each additional circuit.
Step 20 When all the circuits are created, the main Circuits window appears. Verify that the circuits you created
are correct.
Step 21 Complete the “NTP-A135 Test Electrical Circuits” procedure on page 6-36. Skip this step if you built a
test circuit.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-A183 Create a Unidirectional DS-1 Circuit with Multiple
Drops
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-A60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-66 at the node 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-A314 Assign a Name to a Port” task on page 20-8. If not, continue with Step 3.
Step 3 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 4 Click the Circuits tab, then click Create.
Step 5 In the Circuit Creation dialog box, complete the following fields:
• Circuit Type—Choose VT.
• Number of Circuits—Leave the default unchanged (1).
• Auto-ranged—Unavailable when the Number of Circuits field is 1.
Step 6 Click Next.
Step 7 Define the circuit attributes (Figure 6-3):
• 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—VT1.5 is the default. You cannot change it.
• Bidirectional—Uncheck for this circuit.
• Create cross-connects only (TL1-like)—Check this box if you want to create one or more
cross-connects to complete a signal path for TL1-generated circuits. Also, VT tunnels and
Ethergroup sources and destinations are unavailable.
Purpose This procedure creates a unidirectional DS-1 circuit with multiple drops
(destinations).
