Circuit Attributes: OCHNC or OCH CC
(ONS 15454 only) Use the Circuit Attributes page to provision basic circuit parameters. The following table describes the Circuit Attributes page fields and buttons that appear for DWDM OCHNCs and OCH CCs.
Sets the circuit name. The name can be alphanumeric and up to 48 characters, (including spaces).
Displays the circuit type chosen in the Circuit Creation page.
For OCHNCs, displays Equipped non-specific.
For OCH CCs, sets the circuit type and payload:
SDH-If you choose SDH, choose the STM size from the drop-down list (STM-1 to STM-64).
Ethernet-If you choose Ethernet, choose 10GE or 1GE from the drop-down list.
FC/Ficon-If you choose FC/Ficon, choose one of the following: 10GFC, 4GFC, 2GFC, 1GFC, 4GFiCon, 2GFiCon, 1GFiCon.
Data/Storage-If you choose Data/Storage, choose one of the following: ESCON, ETR-CLO, ISC PEER, ISC3 PEER 1G, ISC3 PEER 2G, or ISC COMPAT.
Sets the optical channel network connection wavelength. Thirty-two wavelengths are available. Choose C Band or L Band. For OCH CC circuits, choose Odd or Even. The available wavelengths are 40 for odd and 40 for even for L Band; 41 for odd and 41 for even for C Band.
(Applies to Release 6.0 and earlier; does not apply to Release 7.0) For OCHNC circuits, sets the OCHNC direction. Valid entries are East to West or West to East. Choose the line direction, either West to East to East to West. By default, West refers to ports located in Slots 1 to 7, and East refers to the ports located in Slots 11 to 17.
Sets the service state. An administrative state puts the circuit cross-connects into the related service state if network conditions allow:
locked,disabled: Puts the circuit cross-connects in the locked-enabled,disabled service state. Traffic is not passed on the circuit
unlocked: Puts the circuit cross-connects in the unlocked-enabled service state.
(OCH CC only) To change the port state, check the Apply to OCHCC ports checkbox and choose the desired state for the ports:
locked,disabled: Puts the circuit cross-connects in the locked-enabled,disabled service state. Traffic is not passed on the circuit
unlocked: Puts the circuit cross-connects in the unlocked-enabled service state.
unlocked,automaticInService: Puts the circuit cross-connects in the unlocked-disabled,automaticInService service state. Alarms and conditions are suppressed. When the connections receive a valid signal, the service state automatically changes to unlocked-enabled.
For additional state information, see States.
(Splitter protection cards only) Check the Protection checkbox to route the OCH CC on a protected path.
(OCH CC only) If checked, traffic reverts to the working path when the conditions that diverted it to the protect path are repaired. If unchecked, traffic remains on the protect path after the switch.
(OCH CC only) Available when Revertive is checked. Sets the amount of time that will elapse before traffic reverts to the working path. Traffic can revert when conditions causing the switch are cleared. The range is 0.5 to 12.0 minutes. The default is 5.0 minutes.
(OCH CC only) Sets the FEC mode for OTN lines. FEC mode can be Disabled, Enabled, or Enhanced (provides greater range and lower bit error rate). The FEC checkbox is enabled when G.709 OTN is chosen.
(OCH CC only) Displays the path-level signal failure BER threshold.
(OCH CC only) Sets the path-level signal degrade BER thresholds. Valid entries are IE-5, IE-6, IE-7, IE-8, and IE-9.
(OCH CC only) Sets the mapping to Asynchronous or Synchronous. The card can perform multiplexing per ITU-T G.709. The ODUk (client SONET/SDH payload) can be mapped to the Optical Channel (OTUk) either asynchronously or synchronously with this setting.
