DLP-D238 Roll Two Cross-Connects from One Optical Circuit to a Second Optical Circuit

 

Purpose

This task reroutes a network path using two optical circuits by allowing

 

 

CTC to select the Roll To path on the second circuit automatically.

 

Tools/Equipment

None

 

Prerequisite Procedures

Step 1

From the View menu, choose Go To Network View.

Step 2

Click the Circuits tab.

 

Step 3

Press Ctrl and click the two circuits that you want to use in the roll process.

 

The Roll From path will be on one circuit and the Roll To path will be on the other circuit. The circuits

 

must have a DISCOVERED status and must be the same size and direction for you to start a roll. The

 

planned Roll To circuit must not carry traffic. The first Roll To path must be DCC connected to the source

 

node of the Roll To circuit, and the second Roll To path must be DCC connected to the destination node

 

of the Roll To circuit.

 

Step 4

From the Tools menu, choose Circuits > Roll Circuit.

Step 5

In the Roll Attributes area, complete the following:

a.From the Circuit Roll Mode drop-down list, choose Auto to create an automatic roll (required for a 1-way source roll) or Manual to create a manual roll (required for 1-way destination roll).

b.From the Circuit Roll Type drop-down list, choose Dual.

c.In the Roll From Circuit area, click the circuit that contains the Roll From path.

Step 6 Click Next.

Step 7 In the Pivot/Fixed Point 1 window, click the square representing the fixed path of the first cross-connect to be rolled (Figure 19-6 on page 19-32).

This path is a fixed point in the cross-connect involved in the roll process. The path identifier appears in the text box below the graphic image. The path that is not selected contains the Roll From path. The Roll From path is deleted after the roll is completed.

Step 8 Click Next.
