DLP-A96 Provision a DS-1 or DS-3 Circuit Route
on the same network chooses the same port, STS, VT, or DS1as you simultaneously, one of you receives
a Path in Use error and is unable to complete the circuit. The user with the partial circuit needs to choose
new destination parameters.
Step 10 If you need to create a secondary destination, for example, a path protection bridge/selector circuit exit
point in a multivendor path protection, click Use Secondary Destination and repeat Steps 7 through 9
to define the secondary destination.
Step 11 Click Next.
Step 12 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-A96 Provision a DS-1 or DS-3 Circuit Route
Step 1 In the Route Review/Edit area of the Circuit Creation wizard, click the source node icon if it is not
already selected.
Step 2 Starting with a span on the source node, click the arrow of the span you want the circuit to travel. The
arrow turns white. In the Selected Span area, the From and To fields provide span information. The
source STS and VT (DS-1 circuit only) appear.
Step 3 If you want to change the source STS, adjust the Source STS field; otherwise, continue with Step 4.
Step 4 If you want to change the source VT for DS-1 circuits, adjust the Source VT field; otherwise, continue
with Step 5.
Note VT is gray (unavailable) for DS-3 circuits.
Step 5 Click Add Span. The span is added to the Included Spans list and the span arrow turns blue.
Step 6 If the Fully Protect Path check box is checked in the Circuit Routing Preferences area, you must:
• Add two spans for all path protection or unprotected portions of the circuit route from the source to
the destination.
• Add one span for all BLSR or 1+1 portions of route from the source to the destination.
• For circuits routed on path protection DRI topologies, provision the working and protect paths as
well as spans between the DRI nodes.
Step 7 Repeat Steps 2 through 6 until the circuit is provisioned from the source to the destination node through
all intermediary nodes.
Purpose This task provisions the circuit route for manually routed DS-1 or DS-3
circuits.
