NTP-A184 Create an Automatically Routed DS-3 Circuit
Step 26 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-A184 Create an Automatically Routed DS-3 Circuit
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 STS. STS cross-connects will carry the DS-3 circuit across the ONS 15454
network.
• Number of Circuits—Enter the number of DS-3 circuits you want to create. The default is 1. If you
are creating multiple circuits with sequential source and destination ports, you can use Auto-ranged
to create the circuits automatically.
• Auto-ranged—This box is automatically selected if you enter more than 1 in the Number of Circuits
field. Leave selected if you are creating multiple DS-3 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 sequential circuits automatically.
Step 6 Click Next.
Step 7 Define the circuit attributes (Figure 6-4):
• 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—Choose STS-1. For circuits on the DS3i-N-12 card, choose STS-3c. This sets a port group for
ports 1, 4, 7, and 10 using 3 ports at any given time.
• Bidirectional—Leave checked for this circuit (default).
Purpose This procedure creates an automatically routed DS-3 circuit and also gives
you the option of creating a circuit over a pair of portless transmultiplexing
interfaces. CTC routes the circuit automatically based on circuit creation
parameters and the software version.
Tools/Equipment For portless transmultiplexing configurations, a DS3XM-12 must be
installed on a node through which the circuit will be routed.
