Alcatel-Lucent 1643 AMS - Creating a Node

Creating a node
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
When to use
A node should be created when a new network element is available to be placed into
service.
Related information
The related procedure is:
• Provision Units
• Confirm the MIB.
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 and 1643 AMS, the only slot which may be user assigned is TS2.
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 begun a new.
• To create an association with the ITM-SC, the network element cannot be in an
isolated state. (As a default condition, the 1643 AM or 1643 AMS arrives from the
factory in an isolated state.) To view if the network element is in the isolated state,
select Management -> Overlay Comms Network -> DCN. Should the network
element be in an 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 isolation and
association with the ITM-SC will now be possible.
Procedure
Follow these steps to create a network element.
