NTP-E35 Provision Path Protection Nodes, page 5-17

 

Required/As Needed

As needed

 

Onsite/Remote

Onsite or remote

 

Security Level

Provisioning or higher

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1

Click the Circuits tab.

 

Step 2

In the Circuits tab, click the path protection circuit that you want to edit. To change the settings for

 

multiple circuits, press the Shift key (to choose adjoining circuits) or the Ctrl key (to choose

 

nonadjoining circuits) and click each circuit you want to change.

Step 3

From the Tools menu, choose Circuits > Set Path Selector Attributes.

 

 

 

 

 

Note

Alternatively, for single circuits, you can click the Edit button, then click the path protection

 

 

 

Selectors tab in the Edit Circuits window.

 

 

 

Step 4

In the Path Selectors Attributes dialog box, edit the following path protection selectors, as needed:

Revertive—If checked, traffic reverts to the working path when conditions that diverted it to the protect path are repaired. If not checked, traffic does not revert.

Reversion Time (Min)—If Revertive is checked, sets the amount of time that will elapse before traffic reverts to the working path. The range is 0.5 to 12 minutes in 0.5 minute increments.

Step 5 In the STS Circuits Only area, set the following thresholds:

SF Ber Level—(STS circuits only.) Sets the path protection signal failure BER threshold.

SD Ber Level—(STS circuits only.) Sets the path protection signal degrade BER threshold.

PDI-P—(STS circuits only.) When checked, traffic switches if an STS payload defect indication is received.

Step 6 Click OK and verify that the changed values are correct.

Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
