Customers
The terms customers and subscribers are used synonymously. The most basic required entity is the
customer ID value which is assigned when the customer account is created. To provision a service,
a customer ID must be associated with the service at the time of service creation.
Service Access Points (SAPs)
Each subscriber service type is configured with at least one service access point (SAP). A SAP
identifies the customer interface point for a service on an Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS M-Series
router (Figure 3). The SAP configuration requires that slot, MDA, and port information be
specified. The slot, MDA, and port parameters must be configured prior to provisioning a service
(see the Cards, MDAs, and Ports sections of the 7210 SAS OS Interface Configuration Guide).
A SAP is a local entity to the router and is uniquely identified by:
• The physical Ethernet port
• The encapsulation type
• The encapsulation identifier (ID)
Depending on the encapsulation, a physical port can have more than one SAP associated with it.
SAPs can only be created on ports designated as “access” in the physical port configuration.
