Administration and Provisioning
8-10
Issue 3 June 2000
software parameters are maintained in the SYSCTL circuit pack, and a single CIT
command is provided to restore all default values. All provisioning data is stored in
nonvolatile memory to prevent data loss during power failures and maintenance
operations.
Remote Provisioning
8
Software control allows remote provisioning of the DDM-2000 FiberReach
Multiplexer. This feature is provided especially for parameters likely to change in
service, in support of centralized operations practices.
Automatic Provisioning on Circuit Pack
Replacement
8
Replacement of a failed circuit pack is simplified by automatic provisioning of the
current circuit pack values. The SYSCTL circuit pack maintains a provisioning
map of the entire shelf, so when a transmission or synchronization pack is
replaced, the SYSCTL circuit pack automatically downloads values to the new
circuit pack. If the SYSCTL circuit pack is ever replaced, provisioning data, except
for the line buildout (LBO) settings, from every other circuit pack in the shelf is
automatically uploaded to the nonvolatile memory of the new SYSCTL circuit
pack.
Feature Packaging Provisioning
8
Certain software features are available only through a special licensing agreement
with Lucent. Currently VT performance monitoring and DS1 performance
monitoring are available for the DDM-2000 FiberReach Multiplexer. These
features are enabled by privileged user logins according to the licensing
agreement, using the
set-feat
command and can be reviewed using the
rtrv-feat
command. These features are optional and may not be active on all
systems. For details on these and other commands, refer to Chapter 11,
"Commands and Reports."
Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)
Provisioning
8
DDM-2000 FiberReach supports OSI interworking between DDM-2000
FiberReach, OC-3, and OC-12 Multiplexers. In a given subnetwork, the network
elements (NEs) on each side of an optical span must have their
"userside/networkside" (OSI terminology) parameters provisioned to opposite
values. These values are set using the
set-fecom
command on the DDM-2000
shelves. 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
