Network element initialization
• All the network elements must be uniquely named for easy identification.
Action
Step Action
1 Determine your next step.
2 Click on Initialize Node Parameters.
3 Enter the network element name in the name field.
The network element name can be alphabetic/numeric/alphanumeric
consisting of 1-22 characters. Special characters can also be used, except
space.
4 Enter the functional router ID of the network in the router ID field of the NE
information page. Network element uses same entered ID for communication
over ECC path.
Note 1: The default router ID displayed is 192.168.1.254.
Note 2: The last octet of the router ID and Ethernet IP must not be
provisioned as 0 or 255 as they are of mask length 24.
5 In the Ethernet IP field the IP address must be entered. The Ethernet IP of
each network element in the network must be in different networks and
unique.
Note: The default Ethernet IP displayed is 192.168.1.254.
6 Select the SDH or SONET for the mode in which the network element need
to function.
7 If the network element is equipped with two 15G MRO XC circuit packs then
select STM-4/OC-12 or STM-16/OC-48 for the node capacity of the network
element. If the network element is equipped with two 60G MRO XC then
select STM-64/OC-192 for the node capacity of the network element.
Note: The optical interfaces of the 15G MRO XC circuit packs will operate at
the rate selected for the node capacity parameter. The 60G MRO XC rate is
always STM-64/OC-192.
8 In the Contact field, enter the contact details of administrator such as name
and email.
9 In the Location field, enter the location of node element.
