Creating a request to add a new path to a Wavelength service

Using Control Center, you can create a request to add a new path to a Lumen® Wavelength service. You can save the path or submit your request to have a Lumen representative contact you to complete your order. You can also create a request to add a diverse path to an existing circuit.

To create a request to add a new path to a Wavelength service:

  1. Click Monitoring, then click Topology Viewer.

    Control Center opens Topology Viewer. (If this is your first time using Topology Viewer, review the terms and conditions, then click AGREE. If you have more than one customer number with Wavelength services, you may also have to select the account you want to work with.)
