DLP-A264 Provision a J1 Path Trace on Circuit Source and Destination Ports
Note Cisco recommends that you set the DRI port HOT value to zero and the circuit path selector HOT value 
to a number equal to or greater than zero.
Step 1 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View. 
Step 2 Click the Circuits tab.
Step 3 Click the path protection circuit you want to edit, then click Edit.
Step 4 In the Edit Circuit window, click the UPSR Selectors tab.
Step 5 Create a hold-off time for the circuit source and destination ports:
a. In the Holder Off Timer area, double-click the cell of the circuit source port (top row), then type the 
new hold-off time. The range is 0 to 10,000 ms in increments of 100. 
b. In the Hold-Off Timer area, double-click the cell of the circuit destination port (bottom row), then 
type the hold-off time entered in Step a.
Step 6 Click Apply, then close the Edit Circuit window by choosing Close from the File menu.
Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-A264 Provision a J1 Path Trace on Circuit Source and Destination Ports
Note This task assumes you are setting up path trace on a bidirectional circuit and setting up transmit strings 
at the circuit source and destination.
Step 1 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View. 
Step 2 Click the Circuits tab.
Step 3 For the STS circuit you want to monitor, verify that the source and destination ports are on a card that 
can transmit and receive the path trace string. See Table 19-3 for a list of cards.
Purpose This task creates a path trace on STS circuit source ports and destination 
ports or a VCAT circuit member. 
Tools/Equipment ONS 15454 cards capable of transmitting and receiving path trace must be 
installed at the circuit source and destination ports. See Table 19-3 on 
page 19-47 for a list of cards.
