NOTE:
OC-12 host shelves with Release 15 and FiberReach OC-3
hosted shelves with Release 4 software support AGNE(s)
and alarm groups. OC-12 host shelves with Release 7 or 13
and FiberReach hosted shelves with Release 3 software do
not support these features and will not appear in the alarm
groups of a network with mixed software.
NOTE:
The Remote NE Status (rnestat) parameter of the
set-ne: command must be enabled prior to designating
the AGNE(s) and alarm group numbers.
NOTE:
Shelves may be designated as an alarm gateway network
element (AGNE) and assigned an alarm group number.
(Default alarm group number is 255.) At least one AGNE is
required per alarm group. One primary AGNE and one
backup per alarm group is recommmended. For a network
greater than 16 nodes, the AGNE and TL1 GNE should be
on separate nodes. The AGNE parameter of the set-ne:
command may have been set to yes on each new shelf
during shelf turnup procedures to suppress an AGNE
communication failure alarm.
Use the set-ne: command to designate the AGNE(s) and
alarm group numbers, as required.
