■ SECURITY-Set-Network Element (TL1 = ENT-SYS): This input sets
the TID (Target IDentifier), NID (Node IDentifier), Directory Server, X.25
packet size, alarm group, alarm gateway network element (AGNE) and TL1
gateway parameters.
!
CAUTION:
In Release 7.1 and later generics, a caution should be exercised so
as to NOT execute a second "
Set-Network Element
" command
until any preceding "
Set-Network Element
" command has
completed execution. This precaution is necessary so as to prevent
generating the "ECMD_SYS_ERROR" should one of the controller
boards be in an initialization state. Refer to Table B in DLP-527 for a
listing of the initialization times (in minutes) for each controller.
— The TID (Target IDentifier) parameter is the name used to identify
the local network element within a SONET network. It is used on all
CIT and TL1 reports, and is the destination address for all remote
logins. It is a character string of up to 20 characters, where the
characters are letters, digits, or hyphens (-). Lowercase letters will
be translated into uppercase before they are stored in the network
element. Each TID in the network must be unique.
Whenever the value of the TID parameter is changed, the user
should enter the Retrieve-Map-Ring input or log off and log back
in again to ensure that the new value of the TID parameter is
included in the ring map.
NOTE:
If a user logs in to the system while a reset in progress or ring
startup in progress condition is active, wait until the condition
clears and enter the Retrieve-Map-Ring input or log off and log
back in again to ensure that the list of TIDs in the ring map is
complete.
NOTE:
Changing the value of the local TID will result in all
incoming
remote
TL1 sessions being disconnected. This means the local network
element will terminate all login sessions that were requested from
TL1 gateway network elements.
— The NID (Node IDentifier) parameter (CIT provisionable in
Releases 4 and 5 only) is the number (integer from 0 to 15) of the
network element within the ring. Each network element in the ring
must be numbered uniquely.
— The Directory Server parameter specifies (“Yes” or “No”) whether
the network element is the directory services network element
(DS-NE). There must be one and only one DS-NE in the ring. The
