DLP-A510 Provision a DS-3 Circuit Source and Destination
Note After you have selected the circuit properties in the Circuit Source dialog box according to the specific
circuit creation procedure, you are ready to provision the circuit source.
Step1 From the Node drop-down list, choose the node where the source will originate.
Step2 From the Slot drop-down list, choose the slot containing the DS-3 card where the circuit will originate.
If you are configuring a DS-3 circuit with a transmux card, choose the DS3XM-6 or DS3XM-12 card.
Step3 From the Port drop-down list, choose the source DS-3, DS3/EC1-48, DS3XM-6, or DS3XM-12 card as
appropriate.
Step4 If you need to create a secondary source, for example, a If you need to create a secondary source, for
example, a path protection bridge/selector circuit entry point in a multivendor. bridge/selector circuit
entry point in a multivendor If you need to create a secondary source, for example, a path protection
bridge/selector circuit entry point in a multivendor., click Use Secondary Source and repeat Steps1
through 3 to define the secondary source. If you do not need to create a secondary source, continue with
Step 5.
Step5 Click Next.
Step6 From the Node drop-down list, choose the destination (termination) node.
Step7 From the Slot drop-down list, choose the slot containing the destination card. The destination is typically
a DS3XM-6 or DS-3 card. You can also choose an OC-N card to map the DS-3 circuit to a synchronous
transport signal (STS).
Step8 Depending on the destination card, choose the destination port or STS from the drop-down lists that
appear based on the card selected in Step 2. See Table6-2 on page 6-3 for a list of valid options.
Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) does not display ports, STSs, Virtual Tributaries (VTs), or DS3s if
they are already in use by other circuits. If you and another user who is working on the same network
choose the same port, STS, VT, port, or DS3 simultaneously, one of you receives a Path in Use error and
is unable to complete the circuit. The user with the partial circuit needs to choose new destination
parameters.
Step9 If you need to create a secondary destination, for example, a If you need to create a secondary source,
for example, a path protection bridge/selector circuit entry point in a multivendor. bridge/selector circuit
exit point in a multivendor If you need to create a secondary source, for example, a path protection
bridge/selector circuit entry point in a multivendor., click Use Secondary Destination and repeat Steps
6 through 8 to define the secondary destination.
Step10 Click Next.
Step11 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
Purpose This task provisions an electrical circuit source and destination for a DS-3
circuit.
