Create Singleton circuits

Singleton circuits are the ODU cross-connections created on a node. Perform the following steps to create singleton circuits:

  1. Go to Configuration > Layer 1 > Create Circuit and click Singleton Circuit option. Create Singleton Circuit page is displayed.

    Singleton Circuit page

  2. Select or enter the values referring to the table Singleton Circuits.
  3. Under Source Port Details section,
    1. Select the desired Src Traffic Type and port from the available options under Port field. Options are displayed only when ports of defined capacity are available on that node.
    2. Click M (Select TimeSlots) link provided against TimeSlot field. OTN Channels window is displayed. Manual and Auto time slot selection, both options are available on this window.

      OTN Channels- TimeSlot Selection

    3. Do one of the following for selecting the time slots:

      > Manually: Under CHANNELS, click the desired channel number(s) and click Add Channel. The channels(s) will be displayed under Selected CHANNELS. Click Apply.

      > Automatically: Click Auto button. Depending on the Capacity selected, the required number of channels will automatically get listed under Selected CHANNELS. Click Apply.

      The selected channel(s) will now be displayed in TimeSlot field on Create Singleton Circuit page.

    4. If user desires to add protection to the source port, click Add source client port protection link and select the desired Port for protection and select TimeSlot as done in Step 3b to 3c.
  4. Under Destination Information section, enter value for the desired parameters. Refer to Step 3 for details.
  5. After entering all the required details, do one of the following:
    1. Click Create Circuit to create the circuit, but the circuit will be in pending state in TJ5500. The circuit can be activated later from Manage Circuits page.
    2. Click Create & Activate Circuit to create and activate the circuit. The circuit will be in Active state in TJ5500.
