DLP-A437 Change a VCAT Member Service State
Step 9 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-A437 Change a VCAT Member Service State
Note CTC only permits you to change the state of a non-Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS) member
if the new state matches the In Group VCAT state of the other members, or if the new state is an
Out of Group VCAT state. The In Group VCAT state indicates that a member has cross-connects in the
IS-NR; OOS-MA,AINS; or OOS-AU,MT service states. For non-LCAS VCAT members, the Out of
Group VCAT state is the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state.
Step 1 In node or network view, click the Circuits tab.
Step 2 Click the VCAT circuit that you want to edit, then click Edit.
Step 3 Click the Members tab.
Step 4 Select the member that you want to change. To choose multiple members, press Ctrl and click each
member.
Step 5 From the Tools menu, choose Set Circuit State.
Note You can also change the state for all members listed in the Edit Circuit window using the State
tab. Another alternative is to click the Edit Member button to access the Edit Member Circuit
window for the selected member, and click the State tab.
Step 6 From the Target Circuit Admin State drop-down list, choose the administrative state:
• IS—Puts the member cross-connects in the IS-NR service state.
• OOS,DSBLD—Puts the member cross-connects in the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state. Traffic is
not passed on the circuit.
• IS,AINS—Puts the member cross-connects in the OOS-AU,AINS service state and suppresses
alarms and conditions. When the connections receive a valid signal, the service state automatically
changes to IS-NR.
Purpose This task displays the Edit Circuit window for VCAT members, where you
can change the service state.
