DLP-A510 Provision a DS-3 Circuit Source and Destination
DLP-A510 Provision a DS-3 Circuit Source and Destination
Note After you have selected the circuit properties in the Circuit Source dialog box according to the specific
circuit creation procedure, you are ready to provision the circuit source.
Step 1 From the Node drop-down list, choose the node where the source will originate.
Step 2 From the Slot drop-down list, choose the slot containing the DS-3 card where the circuit will originate.
If you are configuring a DS-3 circuit with a transmux card, choose the DS3XM-6 or DS3XM-12 card.
Step 3 From the Port drop-down list, choose the source DS-3, DS3XM-6, or DS3XM-12 card as appropriate.
Step 4 If you need to create a secondary source, for example, a path protection bridge/selector circuit entry
point in a multivendor path protection, click Use Secondary Source and repeat Steps 1 through 3 to
define the secondary source. If you do not need to create a secondary source, continue with Step 5.
Step 5 Click Next.
Step 6 From the Node drop-down list, choose the destination (termination) node.
Step 7 From the Slot drop-down list, choose the slot containing the destination card. The destination is typically
a DS3XM-6 or DS-3 card. You can also choose an OC-N card to the map DS-3 circuit to an STS.
Step 8 Depending on the destination card, choose the destination port or STS from the submenus that appear
based on the card selected in Step 2. See Table 6-2 on page 6-3 for a list of valid options. Cisco Transport
controller (CTC) does not display ports, STSs, VTs, or DS3s if they are already in use by other circuits.
If you and a user working on the same network choose the same port, STS, VT, port, or DS3
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 9 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 6 through 8
to define the secondary destination.
Step 10 Click Next.
Step 11 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
Purpose This task provisions an electrical circuit source and destination for a DS-3
circuit.
