DLP- D363 Provision Regenerator-Section DCC Terminations
Caution If the ONS 15454 SDH is configured as an OSI IS Level 1 or IS Level 1/Level 2 node and you are
provisioning an OSI-only (LAP-D) RS-DCC to a third party NE, verify that the maximum area routing
parameter on the vender NE is set to 3 before you start this task.
Note When RS-DCC is provisioned, an MS-DCC termination is allowed on the same port, but is not
recommended. Use RS-DCC and MS-DCC on the same port only during a software upgrade when the
software version does not support MS-DCC. You can provision RS-DCCs and MS-DCCs on different
ports in the same node.
Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Comm Channels > RS-DCC tabs.
Step 2 Click Create.
Step 3 In the Create RS-DCC Terminations dialog box, click the ports where you want to create the DCC
termination. To select more than one port, press the Shift key or the Ctrl key.
Note RS-DCC refers to the regenerator section DCC, which is used for ONS 15454 SDH DCC
terminations. The SDH multiplex-section DCCs and the regenerator-section DCC (when not
used as a DCC termination by the ONS 15454 SDH) can be provisioned as DCC tunnels. See the
“DLP-D361 Create a DCC Tunnel” task on page 20-66.
Step 4 In the Port Admin State area, click the Set to ‘unlocked’ radio button.
Step 5 Verify that the Disable OSPF on DCC Link check box is unchecked.
Step 6 If the RS-DCC termination is to include a non-ONS node, check the Far End is Foreign check box. This
automatically sets the far-end node IP address to 0.0.0.0, which means that any address can be specified
by the far end. To change the default to a specific the IP address, see the “DLP-D359 Change a
Regenerator-Section DCC Termination” task on page 20-65.
Step 7 In the Layer 3 box, perform one of the following:
• Check the IP box only—if the RS-DCC is between the ONS 15454 SDH and another ONS node and
only ONS nodes reside on the network. The RS-DCC will use Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).
• Check the IP and OSI boxes—if the RS-DCC is between the ONS 15454 SDH and another ONS
node and third party NEs that use the OSI protocol stack are on the same network. The RS-DCC will
use PPP.
• Check OSI box only—if the RS-DCC is between an ONS node and a third party NE that uses the
OSI protocol stack. The RS-DCC will use the LAP-D protocol.
Note If OSI is checked and IP is not checked (LAP-D), no network connections will appear in
network view.
Step 8 If you checked OSI, complete the following steps. If you checked IP only, continue with Step 9.
a. Click Next.
b. Provision the following fields:
• Router—Choose the OSI router.
