DLP- F306 Provision Path Trace on STM-N Ports

•Click Default to return to the path trace default settings (Path Trace Mode is set to Off and the New Transmit and New Expected Strings are null).

Caution Clicking Default will generate alarms if the port on the other end is provisioned with a different string.

The expect and receive strings are updated every few seconds if the Path Trace Mode field is set to Auto or Manual.

Step 11 Click Close.

The detailed circuit window indicates path trace with an M (manual path trace) or an A (automatic path trace) at the circuit source and destination ports.

DLP-F306 Provision Path Trace on STM-N Ports

Purpose	This task monitors a path trace on STM-N ports within the circuit path.
Tools/Equipment	The STM-N ports you want to monitor must be on STM-N cards capable
	of receiving path trace. See Table 18-1 on page 18-5.
Prerequisite Procedures	DLP-F305	Provision Path Trace on Circuit Source and Destination Ports,
	page 18-4
	DLP-F181	Log into CTC, page 16-34
Required/As Needed	As needed
Onsite/Remote	Onsite or remote
Security Level	Provisioning or higher

Step 1 From the View menu, choose Go to Other Node. In the Select Node dialog box, choose the node where path trace was provisioned on the circuit source and destination ports.

Step 2 Click Circuits.

Step 3 Choose the VC circuit that has path trace provisioned on the source and destination ports, then click Edit.

Step 4 In the Edit Circuit window, click the Show Detailed Map check box at the bottom of the window. A detailed circuit graphic showing source and destination ports appears.

Step 5 In the detailed circuit map right-click the circuit STM-N port (the square on the left or right of the source node icon) and choose Edit Path Trace from the shortcut menu.

Note The STM-N port must be on a receive-only card listed in Table 18-1 on page 18-5. If not, the Edit Path Trace menu item will not appear.

Step 6 In the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or Manual from the Path Trace Mode drop-down list:
