Provisioning A New Host Switch For An Rft - Nortel SONET AccessNode Manual

Procedure 4-5

Provisioning a new host switch for an RFT

Use this procedure to add a new host switch to a specific remote fiber terminal
(RFT). Two kinds of host switches are supported: GR-303 DMS hosts and
GR-303 MVI hosts. Each RFT can have a maximum of five hosts. After you
add five hosts, the Add button is disabled. Repeat this procedure for each new
RFT.
When you add a host, the system automatically assigns an interface group (IG)
number, ranging from one to five. The system identifies the IG by its common
language location identifier (CLLI), or host name, and the integrated digital
terminal (IDT) number.
The Host Provisioning Manager allows you to determine which of the RFT's
hosts will be the primary alarm recipient of the RFT's alarm notifications.
Only a DMS host can be the primary host; therefore, the first DMS host added
is the default primary host.
When the lines of an RFT are associated with more than one switch, the system
allows you to determine which DS1s are connected to each switch using the
Manage Facility Assignments dialog in the Connection Manager tool.
Incorrect host
You can incorrectly add a host, for example, by misspelling the CLLI. An
association to the host is established, but you cannot provision from this host.
To recover, complete the following steps:
1 From the Host Provisioning Manager tool at the operations controller
AccessNode Vol 3B 323-3001-221 Issue 2.0
Note: GR-303 DMS is an interface to digital multiplex switch (DMS)
switches. GR-303 MVI is a multi-vendor interface (MVI) to switches other
than DMS switches.
(OPC):
a. Delete the incorrect host.
b. Add the correct host.
