Creating a Path Trace
Step 5
On the Circuit Path Trace window ( Figure 6-8 ) in the New Transmit String field (this field is not
available for optical cards), enter the string that you want the source port to transmit. For example, you
could enter the node IP address, node name, circuit name, or another string. If the New Transmit String
field is left blank, the J1 transmits an empty string.

Step 6
Click Apply but do not close the window.
Step 7
Return to the Edit Circuit window ( Figure 6-7 ).
Step 8 On the circuit map, right-click the drop port for the circuit and select Edit Path Trace from the shortcut
menu.
Step 9
On the Circuit Path Trace window ( Figure 6-8 ) in the New Transmit String field, enter the string that you
want the drop port to transmit. If the field is left blank, the J1 transmits an empty string.
Step 10 If you will set Path Trace Mode to Manual in Step 11, enter the string that the drop port should expect
to receive in the New Expected String field. This string must match the New Transmit String entered for
the source port in Step 5. (When you click
Apply in Step 12, this string becomes the Current Expected
String.)
Step 11
In the Path Trace Mode field, select one of the following options:
•
Auto —Assumes the first string received from the source port is the baseline string. An alarm is
raised when a string that differs from the baseline is received.
•
Manual —Uses the Current Expected String field as the baseline string. An alarm is raised when a
string that differs from the Current Expected String is received.
Step 12 Click Apply and then click Close .
Step 13
Display the Circuit Path Trace window for the source port from Step 5.
Step 14 If you will set the Path Trace Mode to Manual in Step 15, enter the string the source port should expect
to receive in the New Expected String field. This string must match the New Transmit String entered for
the source port in Step 9.
Step 15
In the Path Trace Mode field, select one of the following options:
