Pre-provisioning Circuit Packs 8
To simplify circuit pack installation, parameters can be provisioned before
installing the corresponding circuit pack. All system parameters and values
(current and original) are preserved by the FT-2000 OC-48 Lightwave System in
the nonvolatile memory of SYSMEM circuit pack. The parameters and values are
protected by the nonvolatile memory if a power failure occurs and are retrievable
on demand regardless of the means used for provisioning. The parameters are
automatically downloaded when the affected circuit pack is installed.
Provisioning on Circuit Pack Replacement 8
Replacement of a failed circuit pack is simplified by the FT-2000 OC-48 Lightwave
System's automatic provisioning of the original circuit pack values. The SYSCTL
and SYSMEM circuit packs maintain a provisioning map of the entire system, so
when a transmission or timing circuit pack is replaced, the SYSCTL and SYSMEM
circuit packs automatically download provisioning parameters and current values
to the new circuit pack.
