Frequently used terms
The following terms and parameters are frequently used throughout the Element
Manager:
Admin: The administrative status of the object (e.g. route, interface, server,
card or function). The operator can either set the administrative status to Up if
the object is to be activated, or to Down if it is to be deactivated.
Oper: The operational status of the object (e.g. route, interface, server, card
or function). Up indicates that the object is active, while Down indicates that it
is inactive. If the operational status shows Down while the administrative status
is Up this is an indication of that an error has occurred.
Toggle Admin: Before any parameters can be changed, the administrative
status of the interface must be set to down. To simplify this procedure, Toggle
admin tells the node to set the administrative status of the interface to down,
reconfigure all parameters and then set the administrative status to the
configured value.
Local node: Is also mentioned as source and originating node.
Remote node: Is also mentioned as destination, terminating and sink node.
