Node creation
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Overview
Creating a node provides the basic information necessary to place an NE into service.
Before you begin
Before starting to create a node, determine the following:
• the name, address, and location of the node are known.
• the location and type of units physically present in the NE are known.
• the main unit must be assigned before the interfaces associated with this unit can
be assigned. For example, a tributary port unit must be assigned before the ports
for this unit can be assigned.
• For the 1643 AM/AMS, the only slot which may be user assigned is TS2.
NOTE: Any mistake in provisioning the slots will result in a failure when
attempting to create the node. When a mistake has been made, after clicking
Finish, the error message “Slot configuration conflict” appears. The node creation
has failed, and the entire node creation process must be repeated.
• To create an association with the OMS, the NE cannot be in an isolated state (as a
default condition, each NE arrives from the factory in an isolated state). To view if
the NE is in the isolated state, select Management → Overlay Comms Network →
DCN. If the NE is in the isolated state, click
Edit. The window, Edit Provisioned
DCN Information then appears. In this window, change (or reselect) any of the
displayed parameters and click
OK. Doing so will remove the NE from the isolation
state and an association with the OMS will now be possible. A detailed procedure
on provisioning DCN information for the 1643 AM/AMS is given under the
chapter, “Management communication setup”, under the section, “Configuring a
Data Communication Network (DCN)” in the “1643 AM/AMS User Operations
Guide”.
