Chapter 3 Turn Up a Node
NTP-G24 Set Up Name, Date, Time, and Contact Information
If you check the Use NTP/SNTP Server check box, type the IP address of one of the following:
–
An NTP/SNTP server connected to the ONS 15454
–
Another ONS 15454 with NTP/SNTP enabled that is connected to the ONS 15454
If you check gateway network element (GNE) for the ONS 15454 SOCKS proxy server (see
“DLP-G56 Provision IP Settings” task on page 3-12), external ONS 15454 nodes must reference the
gateway ONS 15454 for NTP/SNTP timing. For more information about the ONS 15454 gateway
settings, see Chapter 22, “Management Connectivity Reference.”
Caution If you reference another ONS 15454 for the NTP/SNTP server, make sure the second ONS 15454
references an NTP/SNTP server and not the first ONS 15454 (that is, do not create an NTP/SNTP timing
loop by having two ONS 15454 nodes reference each other).
• Date—If Use NTP/SNTP Server is not checked, type the current date in the format m/d/yyyy, for
example, September 24, 2002 is 9/24/2002.
• Time—If Use NTP/SNTP Server is not checked, type the current time in the format hh:mm:ss, for
example, 11:24:58. The ONS 15454 uses a 24-hour clock, so 10:00 PM is entered as 22:00:00.
• Time Zone—Click the field and choose a city within your time zone from the drop-down list. The
list displays the 80 World Time Zones from –11 through 0 (GMT) to +14. Continental United States
time zones are GMT-05:00 (Eastern), GMT-06:00 (Central), GMT-07:00 (Mountain), and
GMT-08:00 (Pacific).
• Use Daylight Savings Time—Check this check box if the time zone that you chose is using Daylight
Savings Time.
• Insert AIS-V on STS-1 SD-P—Not used in DWDM networks.
• SD-P BER—Not used in DWDM networks.
Step 4 Click Apply.
Step 5 In the confirmation dialog box, click Ye s .
Step 6 Review the node information. If you need to make corrections, repeat Steps 3 through 5 to enter the
corrections. If the information is correct, continue with the “NTP-G25 Set Power Monitor Thresholds”
procedure on page 3-10.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
