7 Initial Configuration and Commissioning
The ECN, as the key element in an EAN, must be configured with initial pa-
rameters. This is done with the ECN Local Craft Tool, which is described
briefly in section
7.1 on page 40, but for more detailed information, please
see the ECN330 Installation Guide or ECN320 Installation Guide. The fol-
lowing tasks must be performed before the EAN can be commissioned:
1. Basic Configuration (setting IP parameters through the serial connec-
tion).
2. Set management port (enable untagged management traffic through an
uplink port).
3. Upload and install SW for the EAN through the enabled management
port, see section
7.2 on page 40 for a more detailed description.
4. Configure NTP.
5. Disable untagged management traffic through the uplink port.
After the mentioned tasks are completed, the EAN is ready for use.
If PEM is used the ECN can be discovered by PEM, which will configure
the ECN with SNMP parameters, SNTP IP address and other configuration
parameters needed. Line provisioning is also set from PEM.
If PEM is not used the configuration parameters and line provisioning can
be done through the CLI of the ECN by means of the ECN Local Craft Tool
or a Telnet connection. Full configuration capability is only possible using
PEM.
The five tasks listed above are described in detail in the ECN330 Installa-
tion Guide or ECN320 Installation Guide. Installation of application software
is described in some details in the following section
7.2 on page 40.
