Figure 8-14. Extra Traffic Capability
Rolling Cross-Connections 8
In Release 4.1 and later releases, the FT-2000 OC-48 Add/Drop Rings Terminal
can roll traffic from an existing source port, slot, or tributary to a new source for
1-way and 1-way-DRI cross-connections. In Release 7 and later releases, the
FT-2000 OC-48 Add/Drop-Rings Terminal can roll traffic from an existing source
port, slot, or tributary to a new source for 1-way and 1-way-DRI
cross-connections. The existing 1-way or 1-way-DRI cross-connection and the
new 1-way or 1-way-DRI cross-connection must have a common destination.
The existing cross-connection is deleted and a new cross-connection is entered
as part in a 1-step process. This 1-step process takes less than 60 milliseconds.
Both 1-way and 1-way-DRI cross-connections can be rolled from an existing
source to a new source, using the CONFIGURATION-Enter-Roll-STS3 or the
CONFIGURATION-Enter-Roll-STS1 input.
