Set System Identifier - ADC Release 3.1 User Manual

Summary: This procedure defines the steps required to set a system identifier for each node.
The system ID will help differentiate between the nodes displayed on the system GUI main
screen. Setting the system ID does not affect the communications of the network in any way. The
ID will also be displayed at the top of each GUI window and/or craft screen. The ID given to
each node should be unique in order for the user to discern between them when viewing the GUI.
It is assumed that the user has gained access to the Cellworx STN system, has launched the GUI,
and performed a discovery of each node before attempting this procedure.
1. From the GUI main display, select the node desired by double clicking on it using the left
mouse button.
2. The shelf level "Chassis View" display appears as shown in Figure 767-1, displaying all of
the cards in the shelf. The bottom section of the window has fields that the user can set
under Configuration. Enter a unique name for the node and a location according to network
planning.
3. Memory utilization threshold is a way to monitor the consumption of memory on the
NMIC. If the field is set and the value reached, an informational alarm will be generated.
Set the memory utilization by entering a value between 1 and 100 percent.
4. As performance-monitoring statistics are collected on each interface, the counts may be all
zeros. By enabling the "suppress zero stats" option, the PM file with all zeros is not
forwarded to the NMIC. This allows for less use of the management traffic bandwidth.
Select the "Suppress Zero Stats" box to stop the shelf controller from reporting any
historical data statistics that have a value of "0".
5. Hit the Apply button to send the changes to the database.
5. Select the Close button to return to the topology view.
Stop! You have completed this procedure.
