Cross-Connection Inputs 8
Cross-connections must be specified and administered using the following
inputs
*
:
â– CONFIGURATION-Enter-Crossconnection-STS1: This input enters a
1-way, 1-way-DRI, 2-way cross-connection.
— A
1-way
cross-connection is entered by specifying a 1-way source
and destination. The source may be a low-speed port, a low-speed
port in a slot pair (for example, slot 2A and 2B) provisioned for the
OC-3 1+1 protected mode, or an STS-1 tributary. If the source is a
low-speed port, the destination must be an STS-1 tributary. If the
source is an STS-1 tributary, the destination must be a low-speed
port, a low-speed port in a slot pair provisioned for the OC-3 1+1
protected mode, or the same-numbered STS-1 tributary on the
OC-48 high-speed line in the opposite direction. If the source is an
STS-1 tributary, the source node TID must be specified. If the
destination is an STS-1 tributary, the destination node TID must be
specified.
An input requesting a 1-way cross-connection will be denied if the
specified destination is already cross-connected to a different
source, or the destination is already involved in a 1-way-DRI
cross-connection. An input requesting a 1-way cross-connection will
not be denied if the specified source is already cross-connected to a
different destination. (The bridging capability allows two or more
cross-connections to share the same source.)
— A
1-way-DRI
cross-connection is entered by specifying a 1-way
source and destination. The source is always a low-speed port or a
low-speed port in a slot pair (for example, slot 2A and 2B)
provisioned for the OC-3 1+1 protected mode, and the destination is
always an STS-1 tributary. The DRI secondary node TID and the
destination node TID in the ring must also be specified.
An input requesting a 1-way-DRI cross-connection will be denied if
the specified destination (always an STS-1 tributary) is already
involved in a 1-way, 2-way, or 1-way-DRI cross-connection. An input
requesting a 1-way-DRI cross-connection will not be denied if the
specified source is already cross-connected to a different
destination. (The bridging capability allows two or more
cross-connections to share the same source.)
* The FT-2000 OC-48 Lightwave System is menu-driven and prompts the user to enter the
desired input.
