Description
|
Roll From Circuit
|
Displays the circuit that has connections that will no longer be used after the roll process is complete.
|
Roll To Circuit
|
Displays the circuit that will carry the traffic after the roll process is complete. The Roll To Circuit is the same as the Roll From Circuit if a single circuit is involved in a roll.
|
Roll State
|
Displays the roll status:
ROLL_PENDING-Roll is awaiting completion or cancellation.
ROLL_COMPLETED-Roll is complete. Click the Finish button.
ROLL_CANCELLED-Roll has been canceled.
TL1_ROLL-A TL1 roll was initiated.
Note If a roll is created using TL1, a CTC user cannot complete or cancel
the roll. Also, if a roll is created using CTC, a TL1 user cannot
complete or cancel the roll. You must use the same interface to
complete or change a roll.
INCOMPLETE-This state appears when the underlying circuit
becomes incomplete. To correct this state, you must fix the underlying
circuit problem before the roll state will change. For example, a circuit
traveling on Nodes A, B, and C can become INCOMPLETE if Node B
is rebooted. The cross connect information is lost on Node B during a
reboot. The Roll State on Nodes A and C will change to INCOMPLETE.
|
Roll Valid Signal
|
If the Roll Valid Signal status is true, a valid signal was found on the new port. If the Roll Valid Signal status is false, a valid signal was not found. It is not possible to get a Roll Valid Signal status of true for a one-way destination roll.
|
Roll Mode
|
The mode indicates whether the roll is automatic or manual.
Note CTC implements a roll mode at the circuit level. TL1 implements a
roll mode at the cross-connect level. If a single roll is performed,
CTC and TL1 behave the same. If a dual roll is performed, the roll
mode specified in CTC might be different than the roll mode
retrieved in TL1. For example, if you select Automatic, CTC
coordinates the two rolls to minimize possible traffic hits by using
the Manual mode behind the scenes. When both rolls have a good
signal, CTC signals the nodes to complete the roll.
Automatic-When a valid signal is received on the new path, CTC
completes the roll on the node automatically. One-way source rolls are
always automatic.
Manual-You must complete a manual roll after a valid signal is
received. One-way destination rolls are always manual.
|
Roll Path
|
Displays the fixed point of the roll object.
|
Roll From Path
|
Displays the path (VC4) that is being rerouted.
|
Roll To Path
|
Displays the new path where the Roll From Path is rerouted.
|
Complete
|
Completes a manual roll after a valid signal is received. You can do this when a manual roll is in a ROLL_PENDING status and you have not yet completed the roll or have not cancelled its sibling roll.
|
Force Valid Signal
|
Forces a roll onto the Roll To Circuit destination without a valid signal.
Note If you choose Force Valid Signal, traffic on the circuit that is
involved in the roll will be dropped when the roll is completed.
|
Finish
|
Completes the circuit processing of both manual and automatic rolls and changes the circuit status from ROLL_PENDING to DISCOVERED.
|
Cancel
|
Cancels the roll process. Please note when the roll mode is Manual, cancel roll is only allowed before you click the Complete button. When the roll mode is Auto, cancel roll is only allowed before a good signal is detected by the node or before clicking the Force Valid Signal button. A dual or single roll can be cancelled before the roll state changes to ROLL_COMPLETED.
|
Scope
|
In node view, choose Network to display network rolled circuits. In card view, choose Node to display node rolled circuits or Network to display all network rolled circuits.
|
Help
|
Displays CTC context-sensitive help.
