NSAP Provisioning
8
The network services access point (NSAP) is a multiple part address that 
uniquely identifies each NE for OI purposes. The NSAP is used for subnetwork 
DCC communications using the OSI protocol. A unique NSAP is programmed into 
the SYSCTL circuit pack at the factory and does not have to be modified by the 
user unless subnetwork partitioning is necessary. This default NSAP value is 
adequate to operate typical subnetworks. Subnetwork partitioning is 
accomplished by assigning NEs to different areas. An NE’s area address is one of 
the subfields within its NSAP.  The 
ent-ulsdcc-13
 command is used to modify 
an NEs NSAP.  See the 
ent-ulsdcc-13
 commands in Chapter 11, “Commands 
and Reports,” for more information on NSAP provisioning.
TARP Provisioning 
8
Although TARP functions automatically, using standard default values and without 
any user provisioning, DDM-2000 allows provisioning of the following TARP 
parameters. All TARP parameters are provisioned by the CIT and TL1 
ent-ulsdcc-l4
 command and include the following: 
■
Lifetime 
■
Manual Adjacency 
■
Timers 
■
Loop Detection Buffer (LDB) Flush Timer 
■
TDC Enable/Disable 
■
TDC TID-NSAP Entries. 
It is recommended that TARP default values always be used, with the possible 
exception of Manual Adjacency and the TDC parameters. TARP Manual 
Adjacency may be used to propagate TARP messages beyond any non-TARP 
nodes in a subnetwork, if necessary. In the unlikely event the TDC contains 
inaccurate information, the TDC parameters may be used to update the TDC. 
Eliminated Provisioning: Because DDM-2000 FiberReach Releases 3.0 and later 
do not support Lucent Directory Services (LDS) or Remote NE Status features, 
the following OI-related provisioning is no longer necessary:
■
AGNE 
■
Alarm Group Number 
■
NE Number 
■
Site Number 
■
TBOS Number.
