Step 8
If the circuit will be routed on a path protection, complete the “DLP-A218 Provision Path Protection
Selectors” task on page 19-12.
Step 9 Click Next.
Step 10 Complete the “DLP-A510 Provision a DS-3 Circuit Source and Destination” task on page 22-3.
Step 11 In the Circuit Routing Preferences area (Figure 6-5), choose Route Automatically. Three options are
available; choose based on your preferences:
• Using Required Nodes/Spans—Check this check box to specify nodes and spans to include or
exclude in the CTC-generated circuit route.
Including nodes and spans for a circuit ensures that those nodes and spans are in the working path
of the circuit (but not the protect path). Excluding nodes and spans ensures that the nodes and spans
are not in the working or protect path of the circuit.
• Review Route Before Creation—Check this check box to review and edit the circuit route before the
circuit is created.
• VT-DS3 Mapped Conversion—Check this check box to create a circuit using the portless
transmultiplexing interface of the DS3XM-12 card.
