Chapter 6 Create Circuits and VT Tunnels
NTP-A186 Create a Unidirectional DS-3 Circuit with Multiple Drops
• Link Diversity Only—Specifies that only fiber-diverse primary and alternate paths for path
protection portions of the complete circuit path are needed. The paths might be node-diverse, but
CTC does not check for node diversity.
Step 14 If you selected Fully Protected Path in Step 12 and the circuit will be routed on a path protection DRI,
click the Dual Ring Interconnect check box.
Step 15 Click Next. In the Route Review and Edit area, node icons appear so you can route the circuit manually.
The green arrows pointing from the selected node to other network nodes indicate spans that are
available for routing the circuit.
Step 16 Complete the “DLP-A96 Provision a DS-1 or DS-3 Circuit Route” task on page 17-97 for the DS-3 you
are creating.
Step 17 Click Finish.
Step 18 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 17 for each additional circuit.
Step 19 When all the circuits are created, the main Circuits window appears. Verify that the circuits you created
appear in the window.
Step 20 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-A186 Create a Unidirectional DS-3 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 STS.
• Number of Circuits—Leave the default unchanged (1).
• Auto-ranged—Unavailable when the Number of Circuits field is 1.
Purpose This procedure creates a unidirectional DS-3 circuit with multiple drops.
