General
Use the General tab to view circuit information (circuit type, size, protection type, and routing preference), and to modify the circuit name.
Displays the circuit name. To edit the name, click in the field and type the change.
Displays circuit types. Types are HOP (high-order circuit), LOP (low-order circuit), VCT (VC low-order tunnel), VCA (VC low-order aggregation point), OCHNC, HOP_v (high-order VCAT circuit), or LOP_v (low-order VCAT circuit).
Displays the circuit size, which depends on the source and destination card/port. Low-order circuits are VC11 (with XC-VXC-10G card only), VC12, and VC3. High-order circuit sizes are VC4, VC4-3c, VC4-4c, VC4-6c, VC4-8c, VC4-16c, and VC4-64c. OCHNC sizes are Equipped not specific, Multi-rate, 2.5 Gbps No FEC (forward error correction), 2.5 Gbps FEC, 10 Gbps No FEC, and 10 Gbps FEC. High-order VCAT circuits are VC4-nv and VC4-4c-nv and low-order VCAT circuits are VC3-nv, where n is the number of members.
Displays the type of circuit protection. See Circuit Protection Types for more information about protection types and ONS nodes that support them.
Displays the circuit routing parameters. See Circuit Routing Preferences for more information about routing preference types.
If checked, displays any low-order path tunnels that carry the low-order path circuit. If the circuit is not carried by a low-order path tunnel, no changes appear when the box is checked.
If checked, shows the TXP and MXP connections on which high-order and low-order circuits are routed. If not checked, only the logical STM-N links are shown. This check box is available only when circuits are routed on TXP or MXP cards provisioned in section or line mode.
If checked, displays a detailed map that allows you to open a port or create a path trace by clicking a port on the map. You can also open a node or reset the node position by clicking on a node on the map. The map shows circuit routing information including source slot, port, specific STS, and VT. If 802.17 RPR mode is enabled, the port displays as pRPR East or pRPR West. The detailed view also shows working and protect circuit paths. (You cannot use Show Detailed Map for VCAT circuits, but you can use it for individual VCAT circuit members.)
