6 Routing transmission capacity
Routing of transmission capacity can be done in two ways, depending whether
there is a cross-connection file available or not.
If the cross-connection file exists, routing of transmission capacity is automated,
i.e. the Site Configuration File refers to the name of the file and the embedded
node manager opens the file and sends the settings to the transmission unit
without any indication to the user by the SW.
If the cross-connection file required is not available, you have to create the cross-
connections manually using the Cross-connections tool (see the section below).
6.1 Creating cross-connections manually
Cross-connections are created with the Cross-connections tool in the transmission
unit manager application.
Cross-connections define how signals are routed from a FXC transmission unit to
another transmission unit. Cross-connections are created into banks which are
either active or inactive. The cross-connections in the active banks are in use,
whereas those in inactive banks can be used for creating or editing cross-
connections. The procedure below describes how to create bi-directional cross-
connections.
Create bi-directional cross-connections as follows:
1. Start the Cross-connections tool by choosing the Open command on the
Transmission menu in the BTS Manager. The manager application for the
transmission unit is launched and the BTS Manager session terminates.
2. Open the inactive bank page. (The number of the active bank is given
above the cross-connections list view.)
