Replacing an Encryption Module
• Security parameters must be provisioned on the replacement module. This procedure
contains a step to set the Crypto-Officer and Authentication passwords. The
remaining security parameters such as session key lifetime may be provisioned
afterwords, as outlined in "Configuring Encryption Modules"in the
Provisioning and
Operations Manual
.
The module inventory data stored in the EEPROM is accessible from the management
system. When auto-provisioning is enabled, the encryption module is entered into the NE
database with default parameters. See
Provisioning and Operations Manual
, section
"Modifying Provisioned Entities," for information about assigning equipment to the NE
database and configuring equipment.
Adding an encryption module at a later time can change the optical budget. Use the FSP
Network Planner to calculate the changes or contact ADVA Optical Networking
Technical Services.
Risk of power supply failure!
Adding modules with relatively high power consumption to an already operating
node can result in power failure due to overload.
Ensure that the total power consumption of a fully equipped shelf does not exceed
the specified value. Calculate the total power consumption or contact ADVA Optical
Networking Technical Services before inserting the module!
Requirements
Before starting the procedure, ensure the following is available:
• The initial Crypto-Officer password of the replacement module
• Torx screwdriver TX10 to assist in loosening the knurled screws
• Encryption module to be added, packaged in the shipping box. This module should be
equipped with the firmware package associated with the NE software.
• ESD-preventive wrist strap or other personal grounding device
• Suitable grounded surface or an antistatic mat for placing the encryption module
• Original shipping box for storing the removed dummy module.
Adding Procedure
To avoid ESD damage to the equipment, exercise normal static
precautions for adding encryption modules.
It is assumed that you are familiar with handling encryption modules as well as fiber-optic
cables, and are aware of the precautions that should be taken to avoid damaging the
equipment. A summary of how to handle modules and fiber-optic cables is provided in
“Handling Equipment” on p.47. Pay attention to the safety notices and additional
information provided below.
Step 1 Refer to the installation plan for details about:
• the module type that is to be added.
• the shelf and corresponding slot that this module will be installed in.
