Circuit Attributes

---

Use the Circuit Attributes page to define the type of overhead circuit that you want to create. The following table describes the Circuit Attributes page fields and buttons that appear for overhead circuits.

Item	Description
Name	The overhead circuit name. The name can be alphanumeric and up to 48 characters, (including spaces). If you leave the Name field blank, CTC assigns a default name to the overhead circuit.
Type	The circuit type. See Overhead Circuit Types for circuit type descriptions.
PCM	For orderwire circuits, sets the pulse code modulation (PCM) voice coding and companding standard, either MU_LAW (North America, Japan) or A_LAW (Europe).
Maximum Bandwidth	Sets a limit on the RS-DCC bandwidth allocated for IP tunnels to prevent degradation of ONS DCC processes. The percentage applies to the total RS-DCC bandwidth available.
Next	Displays the Circuits Source page.
Cancel	Cancels overhead circuit creation.
Help	Displays context-sensitive help.
