DLP- D236 Roll Two Cross-Connects on One Optical Circuit Using Automatic Routing

A roll can be forced onto the Roll To Circuit destination without a valid signal by using the

Force Valid Signal button. If you choose Force Valid Signal, traffic on the circuit that is involved in the roll will be dropped when the roll is completed.

Step 12 If you selected Manual in Step 5, click the roll on the Rolls tab and click Complete to route the traffic to the new port. If you selected Auto, continue with Step 13.

Step 13 For both manual and automatic rolls, click Finish to complete the circuit roll process.

The roll is cleared from the Rolls tab and the new rolled circuit on the Circuits tab returns to the DISCOVERED status.

Step 14 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

Note This task optionally uses automatic routing. Automatic routing is not available if both the Automatic Circuit Routing NE default and the Network Circuit Automatic Routing Overridable NE default are set to FALSE. For a full description of these defaults see the “Network Element Defaults” appendix in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual.

Step 1 From the View menu, choose Go To Network View.

Step 2 Click the Circuits tab.

Step 3 Click the circuit that has the connections that you want to roll. The circuit must have a DISCOVERED status for you to start a roll.

Step 4 From the Tools menu, choose Circuits > Roll Circuit.

Step 5 In the Roll Attributes area, complete the following (Figure 19-10):

a.From the Circuit Roll Mode drop-down list, choose Auto to create an automatic roll or Manual to create a manual roll.

b.From the Circuit Type drop-down list, choose Dual to indicate that you want to roll two connections on the chosen circuit.
