Electrical Cross-Connection Service Management

In this user interface, you can create normal electrical cross-connections and SNCP services. You can also perform conversion between these two types of services. If the created service is not properly configured during configuration, the Web LCT does not send the new service data to NEs and it automatically notifies the operator.

Navigation Path

In the NE Explorer, click an NE and choose Configuration > Electrical Cross-Connection Service Management from the Function Tree. Click the Electrical Cross-Connection Service Management tab.

**Table 2** Create SNCP
Field	Value	Description
Protection Type	SW SNCP, ODUk SNCP, MSSNCP	Specifies the level of the new service.
Protection Type	For SW SNCP and MSSNCP: none For ODUk SNCP: SNC/I, SNC/N, SNC/S	Displays the protection type of the service.
OTN Level	For example: PM	Sets the OTN level.
Service Type	For SW SNCP: GE, FE,FC50, STM1, STM4, STM16, OC3, OC12, OC48, FC100, FC200, FICON, FICONExpresss, HDTV, DVBASI, DVBSDI, ESCON, FDDI For ODUk SNCP: ODU0, ODU1, ODU2, ODU3 For MSSNCP: GE	Specifies the service type of the new service.
Revertive Mode	Revertive, Non-Revertive	Chooses whether the service is switched to the original working path after the failure is eliminated. If you want the service to be switched back to the original working path then, select Revertive. If you do not want the service to be switched back then, select Non-Revertive.
WTR Time (s)	300-720	Sets the wait-to-restore time. It is the time interval between the time when the working service is detected to be normal after switching and the time when the service is switched back to the working path. You can modify the Revertive Mode only when the value is Revertive.
Working Channel Hold-Off Time (100ms)	0-100	Sets the time interval between the time when the working channel detects signal degrade and the time when the service switching occurs, in order to avoid repeated switching when the service status is not stable.

Direction	Unidirectional, Bidirectional Default: Unidirectional	When you set Direction to Unidirectional, after you create the SNCP, only the selective receiving function is implemented. To ensure the service availability, you must create two routes in the reverse direction on the source. When you set Direction to Bidirectional, the Web LCT automatically creates two routes in the reverse direction.
