Circuits
|
---
|
Displays the following options:
Repair Circuits: Repairs partial circuits. Refer to the ONS node
troubleshooting guide for more information.
Reconfigure Circuits-Allows you to rebuild circuits, which
might be necessary when a large number of circuits are in the
PARTIAL state.
Set Path Selector Attributes: Edits unidirectional path switched
ring (UPSR) circuit path selector attributes.
Set Circuit State: Changes a circuit state.
Roll Circuit: Reroutes live traffic without interrupting service.
See Roll Creation.
Delete Rolls: Deletes a roll. Use caution when selecting this
option, because traffic might be affected. Delete a roll only if it
cannot be completed or cancelled. Circuits might have a
PARTIAL status when this option is selected.
Upgrade OCHNC: Upgrades an OCHNC circuit to the
corresponding Optical Channel Client Connection (OCHCC)
circuit by using the existing internal or external patchcords to
extend the circuit to the client port of the TXP card, MXP card,
or OC-N trunk port. The OCHNC to OCHCC upgrade does not
cause traffic loss, errors, or alarms. This feature will upgrade
OCHNC circuits created on software versions prior to 7.0, or on
7.0 and later. This feature does not allow you to restore an
OCHNC circuit from a completed OCHCC circuit.

Allows you to choose one of the following topology upgrade wizards:
Convert UPSR to BLSR: Upgrades a UPSR or unprotected 1+1
or linear add/drop multiplexer (ADM) to a bidirectional line
switched ring (BLSR).
Convert unprotected to UPSR: Upgrades an unprotected
point-to-point (two nodes) or linear ADM (three or more nodes)
to a UPSR.
