SNI-BD (SNI Circuit Pack)
SNI Administration and SNI Board Insertion
The circuit packs in the switch node carrier will not function properly unless
administration is performed first. For example, without fiber link administration,
phone calls cannot be made through the CSS, CSS circuit packs will not be
inserted, and maintenance software cannot test the CSS circuit packs.
For an unduplicated PNC configuration, administration must be done in the
following order before SNIs will be inserted:
1. Cabinet Administration: The switch node carriers must be administered into
the proper cabinets. When this form is submitted by pressing
carriers will be assigned switch node numbers. The list cabinet command
can then be used to determine the numbers for the carriers of interest.
2. Circuit Pack Administration: Every board in the switch node carriers must
be administered.
3. Fiber-Link Administration: The fibers between the TN570s and the TN573
(or TN573 to TN573) must be administered via the add fiber-link
command. A DS1C converter complex is added to a fiber link via the add
fiber-link command also.
For a duplicated PNC configuration, administration must be done in the following
order before SNIs will be inserted:
1. Obtain a license file to activate PNC duplication.
2. Cabinet Administration: The switch node carriers and duplicate switch
node carriers must be administered into the proper cabinets. When this
form is submitted by depressing the "enter" key, these carriers will be
assigned switch node numbers. The list cabinet command can then be
used to determine the numbers for the carriers of interest.
3. Circuit Pack Administration: Every board in the switch node carriers must
be administered.
4. Fiber-Link Administration: The fibers between the TN570s and the TN573
(or TN573 to TN573) must be administered via the add fiber-link
command. If the system is being changed from an unduplicated to a
duplicated PNC configuration, the change fiber-link command can be
used to administer the b-pnc fiber-link endpoints on the existing fiber links.
A DS1C converter complex is added to a fiber link via the add fiber-link
command also.
5. PNC duplication is enabled via the change system-parameters
duplication command.
