Multi-Circuit Operations

CTC allows you to modify selector settings on a set of circuits. If you select a set of circuits and make changes to selectors, the changes are applied end-to-end along each of the selected circuits.

Baseline Button

In CTC Release 3.3, the Baseline button located on the far right of the Performance Monitoring screen clears the PM count displayed in the Current column, but does not clear the PM count on the card. When the current 15-minute or 24-hour time interval passes or the screen view changes, the total number of PM counts on the card and on the screen appear in the appropriate column.

Clear Button

The Clear button located on the far right of the Performance Monitoring screen clears certain PM counts depending on the option selected. When the Clear button is clicked, three options appear in the Clear Statistics menu: Selected interfaces, All interfaces on port x, and All interfaces on card.

When you clear selected interfaces, all PM counts associated with the selected radio buttons are erased. For example, if the “15 min” and the Near End buttons are selected and you click the Clear button, all near-end PM counts in the current 15-minute interval are erased from the card and the screen display.

When you clear all interfaces on port x, all PM counts associated with all combinations of the radio buttons on the selected port are erased from the card and the screen. This means the 15-minute near-end and far-end counts and 24-hour near-end and far-end counts are cleared from the card and the screen.

When you clear all interfaces on the card, PM counts for all data and ports on all interfaces are erased from the card and the screen.
