Description

Summary

Provides an overview of the cross-connect card (XC10G, XC-VXL-10G, XC-VXL-2.5G, and XC-VXC-10G) usage:

    • VC4 Matrix: (XC10G, XC-VXL-10G, XC-VXL-2.5G, and XC-VXC-10G cards.) Shows the percent of VC4 paths and VC4s dropped to lower order paths that are in use. 384 VC4s are available with XC10G, XC-VXL-10G and XC-VXC-10G cross-connect cards; 192 VC4s are available with XC-VXL-2.5G cards.

    • TUG3 Matrix Ports: (XC-VXL-10G, XC-VXL-2.5G, and XC-VXC-10G cards.) Shows the percent of the cross-connect card TUG3 matrix ports that are in use. TUG3 matrix ports are the number of VC4s that are dropped to lower order paths (using TUG3s to hold VC3s and TUG2s) shown in VC4 size. 384 TUG3 matrix ports are available.

    • TUG3 Matrix: (XC-VXL-10G, XC-VXL-2.5G, and XC-VXC-10G cards.) Shows the percent of the TUG-3 matrix resources that are in use. 384 TUG-3 paths are available.

    • VC12 Matrix Ports: (XC-VXL-10G, XC-VXL-2.5G, and XC-VXC-10G cards.) Shows the percent of the VC12 matrix ports that are in use. VC12 matrix ports are the number of TUG3s used to support TUG2s (that is, VC11s and VC12s). 96 VC12 matrix ports are available.

    • VC12 Matrix: (XC-VXL-10G, XC-VXL-2.5G, and XC-VXC-10G cards.) Shows the percent of the VC12 matrix resources that are in use. 2016 VC12 paths are available.

    • VC11 Matrix Ports: (XC-VXC-10G cards only.) Shows the percent of the VC11 matrix ports that are in use. VC11 matrix ports are the number of TUG3s used to support TUG2s (that is, VC11s and VC12s). 96 VC11 matrix ports are available in VC12 Mode and 48 are available when using Mixed Mode.

    • VC11 Matrix: (XC-VXC-10G cards only.) Shows the percent of the VC11 matrix resources that are in use. 2688 VC11 paths are available in VC11 Mode and 1344 are available when using Mixed Mode.

TUG3 Matrix Port Detail

Provides details of the TUG3 Matrix Port usage:

  • Drop: Identifies the source slot and port.

  • Tunnel Name: If the port is used by a tunnel, the tunnel name appears here.

  • % Used: Shows the percentage of the matrix port that is used.

  • Usage: Shows the port usage.

Refresh

Updates the XC-VXC-10G resource display.

Delete

Deletes VC11s, VC12s, and VC3s that use matrix resources but no longer carry circuits. This occasionally occurs when many circuits are added and deleted over a period of time. Stranded VC11s, VC12s, and VC3s appear with 0 percent usage in the TUG3 Matrix Port Detail area. If stranded VC11s, VC12s, or VC3s appear, click the VC, then click Delete to free matrix capacity.
