Feature Package Provisioning 8
Certain software features are available only through a special licensing agreement
with Lucent Technologies. The OC-3c (STS-3c) feature is enabled by privileged-
user logins according to the licensing agreement, using the set-feat command
and can be reviewed using the rtrv-feat command. This feature is optional
and may not be active on all systems. For details on these and other commands,
refer to Section 11, "Commands and Reports."
Data Communications Channel (DCC)
Provisioning 8
The DCC is automatically provisioned in the following manner and needs no
provisioning by the user. The DCC uses the SONET overhead to communicate
between NEs and follows the active SONET transmission line and/or IAO LAN.
In a given subnetwork, the NEs on each side of an optical span must have their
"user-side/network-side" (OSI terminology) parameters provisioned to opposite
values. Local procedures should determine the "user" and "network" side of a
span. For example, the CO terminal can be designated the network side and the
RT site the user side. It does not matter as long as the two sides are opposite
values. See the TOP section of this manual (Volume II) for OI provisioning
procedures.
â– In rings, there is one DCC assigned for the "m1" ring and another DCC for
the "m2" ring.
â– When function unit slot pairs are provisioned for linear (1+1) applications
(connected to OC-3 linear extensions), there is one DCC for each pair.
When provisioned for ring (0x1) applications, there is one DCC for each
slot.
