Moving a Circuit
After you configure a circuit on a network interface, you can move the circuit to
another interface. Moving a circuit is useful if you plan to replace a hardware
module and you do not want to lose a configured interface.
When you move a circuit to a different type of network interface, for example,
from an Ethernet interface to an FDDI interface, the Configuration Manager
accounts for the changes in the physical layer configuration and automatically
adjusts the line detail parameters accordingly.
To move a circuit:
1. In the Configuration Manager window, choose Circuits > Edit Circuit.
The Circuit List window opens (refer to Figure
3-11).
2. Choose the circuit that you want to move.
3. Click on Edit.
The Circuit Definition window opens with the name of the selected circuit in
the Circuit Name field and the connector for the circuit interface highlighted
(refer to Figure
3-12).
4. Click on the circuit’s connector.
The Configuration Manager removes the circuit from the connector, and the
connector is no longer highlighted.
5. Click on the new connector for the circuit interface.
The connector you chose is now highlighted, indicating that the circuit now
connects to it.
You may want to rename the circuit if you think the old circuit name may
cause confusion. To do this, enter a new name in the Circuit Name field.
6. Choose Lines > Change Lines.
You return to the Circuit Definition window, which reflects all circuits that
have moved.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each circuit that you want to move.
8. Choose File > Exit.
You return to the Circuit List window.
9. Click on Done.
