2.2Create an Inter-Domain Circuit
– NSAP—Network service access point
Step 11 Click Finish. A message appears asking you to verify that the local ID on this node matches the remote
ID at the neighboring node. Click OK.
Note CTC will not automatically discover the neighbor and IPCC until you set up a second UNI
interface.
Step 12 Repeat Steps 2 through 11 to create the connecting UNI-C interface on the other side of the core network.
Note The Neighbor, IPCC, and Interface subtabs all include Create buttons. Clicking the Create button on any
of these subtabs will launch the UCP Provisioning wizard. A neighbor must exist before you can create
an IPCC, and an IPCC must exist before you can create an interface.
2.2 Create an Inter-Domain Circuit
An inter-domain circuit (IDC), or end-to-end, circuit includes both UCP-signaled and non-signaled
circuits. Before you create an end-to-end IDC circuit, you must complete the “Configure an ONS 15454
as User Network Interface–Client (UNI-C) Node” section on page 2-1 to set up a UNI-C network
element on each side of the core network. If one end of a UCP-signaled segment is an ONS 15454
SONET or SDH node and the other end is supplied and managed by another vendor, see the “Create a
UCP-Signaled Circuit” section on page 2-4.
Step 1 In node or network view, click the Circuits tab.
Step 2 Use the circuit wizard to create a circuit. For specific procedures about circuit creation, refer to the
Release 3.4 or later Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide or the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.
2.3 Create a UCP-Signaled Circuit
If one end of a UCP-signaled segment is an ONS 15454 SONET or SDH node and the other end is
supplied and managed by another vendor, you must use this procedure to set up the UCP-signaled circuit
across the core network.
Before beginning this procedure, you must complete the “Configure an ONS 15454 as User Network
Interface–Client (UNI-C) Node” section on page 2-1 to set up a UNI-C network element on each side of
the core network.
Step 1 At the node view, click the Provisioning > UCP > Circuits tabs.
Step 2 On the Circuits subtab, click Create. The New UCP Signaled Circuit dialog box appears.
Step 3 Complete the following fields and click OK:
• UCP Circuit Node—Click Origin to set the circuit as the originating UNI-C or click Termination
to set the circuit as the terminating UNI-C.
