DLP-A233 Edit Path Protection Circuit Path Selectors
DLP-A233 Edit Path Protection Circuit Path Selectors
Step 1 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 2 Click the Circuits tab.
Step 3 In the Circuits tab, click the path protection circuit(s) you want to edit. To change the settings for
multiple circuits, press the Shift key (to choose adjoining circuits) or the Ctrl key (to choose
nonadjoining circuits) and click each circuit that you want to change.
Step 4 From the Tools menu, choose Circuits > Set Path Selector Attributes.
Step 5 In the Path Selectors Attributes dialog box, edit the following path protection selectors, as needed:
• Revertive—If checked, traffic reverts to the working path when conditions that diverted it to the
protect path are repaired. If the check box is not checked, traffic does not revert.
• Reversion Time (Min)—If Revertive is checked, this value sets the amount of time that will elapse
before traffic reverts to the working path. The range is 0.5 to 12 minutes in 0.5 minute increments.
• In the VT Circuits Only area, set the following thresholds:
–
SF Ber Level—Sets the path protection signal failure BER threshold.
–
SD Ber Level—Sets the path protection signal degrade BER threshold.
• In the STS Circuits Only area, set the following thresholds:
–
SF Ber Level—Sets the path protection signal failure BER threshold.
–
SD Ber Level—Sets the path protection signal degrade BER threshold.
–
Switch on PDI-P—When checked, traffic switches if an STS payload defect indication is
received.
Step 6 Click OK and verify that the changed values are correct in the Circuits window.
Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
Purpose This task changes the path protection signal fail and signal degrade
thresholds, the reversion and reversion time, and the PDI-P settings for one
or more path protection circuits.
