Configuring an Existing Network for a New NMS

Use the following procedures to configure an existing multiplexer network for the new 6800 Series
NMS on an existing multiplexer network.

Preparing the Existing Network

To prepare the existing multiplexer network, perform the following steps.
1. Make sure each node has a common Level I password.
2. Configure the NAPs that are to be used for the command language interface, event port
After completing these steps, you are ready to set up the new 6800 Series NMS.

Setting Up the New NMS

To set up the 6800 Series NMS in an existing multiplexer network, perform the following steps.
1. Execute the Edit Port Configuration (edpc) command to configure the port for the external
2. Execute the Change Node Password (chnp) command to inform the NMS of the common
3. Execute the Create Device Profile (crdp) command to create a device profile for every
4. Execute the Create Facility Profile (crfp) command for each link associated with the
5. Execute the Edit Site Profile (edsp) command to specify the location of the site(s) via the

interface, and cut-through interface.
systems interface for multiplexers. Use the port connect to the ACCULINK NAP
configured as a supervisory NAP for cut-through. Execute the Edit External System
Configuration (edesc) command and configure the multiplexer cut-through by assigning
your own name for the cut-through session to the proper port group. See the COMSPHERE
6800 Series Network Management System Core Command Reference Manual for further
details.
Level I password. All multiplexers in the network are configured with the same Level I
password as part of the multiplexer setup task. NMS uses this password to communicate
with the multiplexers.
Make sure you have set the Level I password for each multiplexer to
match the password you entered through this command. If the
passwords do not match, NMS cannot communicate with the
multiplexers.
