NTP-A148 Create a Manual Cross-Connect for a G-Series or
E-Series Card in Port-Mapped Mode
Note
In this procedure, cross-connect refers to a circuit connection created within the same node between the
Ethernet card and an OC-N card connected to third-party equipment. You create cross-connects at the
source and destination nodes so an Ethernet circuit can be routed from source to destination across
third-party equipment.
Step 1
Complete the
“DLP-A60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-66
at the node where you will create the
cross-connect. If you are already logged in, continue with
.
Step 2
If you are provisioning an E-Series card, verify that the Ethernet card that will carry the circuit is
provisioned for port-mapped mode. See the
“DLP-A246 Provision E-Series Ethernet Card Mode” task
.
Step 3
If you are provisioning a G-Series card, complete the
“DLP-A222 Provision G-Series Ethernet Ports”
.
Step 4
If you want to change the default flow control settings, complete the
Flow Control Watermarks” task on page 21-7
.
Step 5
Click the
Circuits
tab and click
Create
.
Step 6
In the Create Circuits dialog box, complete the following fields:
•
Circuit Type—Choose
STS
.
•
Number of Circuits—Leave the default unchanged (1).
•
Auto-ranged—Unavailable.
Step 7
Click
Next
.
Step 8
Define the circuit attributes:
•
Name—Assign a name to the source cross-connect. The name can be alphanumeric and up to
48 characters (including spaces). Circuit names should be 44 characters or less if you want the
ability to create monitor circuits. If you leave the field blank, CTC assigns a default name to the
source cross-connect.
•
Size—Choose the size of the circuit that will be carried by the cross-connect. Valid sizes for a
G-Series circuit are STS-1, STS-3c, STS-6c, STS-9c, STS-12c, STS-24c, and STS-48c. For an
E-Series card in port-mapped mode, valid sizes are STS-1, STS-3c, STS-6c, and STS-12c.
•
Bidirectional—Leave the default unchanged (checked).
•
Create cross-connects only (TL1-like)—Uncheck this box.
Purpose
This procedure creates a manual cross-connect between a G-Series
Ethernet card or an E-Series Ethernet card in port-mapped mode and an
OC-N card connected to non-ONS equipment.
Tools/Equipment
A G-Series or E-Series card must be installed at the circuit source node.
