Performing Node Operations; Adding A Node - Paradyne COMSPHERE 6800 Series Multiplexer Management And Configuration Manual

Performing Node Operations

Node operations consist of adding and/or deleting nodes in a network that is under the control of
the 6800 Series NMS.

Adding a Node

Before adding or deleting nodes, all setup tasks (such as configuring the T1 links, setting the
network clock, and setting up an SDL to the node) must have been completed. To add a node to a
network already under the control of the 6800 Series NMS, perform the following steps.
1. Execute the Create Device Profile (crdp) command to create a device profile for the new
2. Execute the Create Facility Profile (crfp) command for each T1 link connected to the node.
3. Execute the Edit Site Profile (edsp) command to specify the location of the site via the
4. Use the Manage Routing Table (MRT) Utility to generate a routing table for each node in
5. Execute the Change Node Configuration Parameters (chncp) command to configure event
6. Execute the Change Multiplexer Component Configuration (chmcc) command if the new

be sure to indicate a site name in the device profile.

Routing Tables (grt) command. Use the MRT to customize the routing table of each node,
or use the Change Routing Table (chrt) command.

names, and change any of these values from their default values.

You can also execute this command to change the factory-set service states (active or
standby) of the central processing units (CPUs) on a 740, or CPU or TSI on a 745.
