Preparing for Provisioning
The first time you configure a connection type, use the applicable quickstart procedure to get an
overview of the tasks to be performed. Then, for more detailed instructions, consult the appropriate
section(s) elsewhere in the document that are called out in the quickstart procedure. As you gain
experience in configuring AUSM card connections, referring to a quickstart procedure may suffice for
performing a particular configuration task.
You can get information about most CLI commands by entering the command without parameters.
Tip
Ordinarily, experienced users can configure AUSM card connections using just the quickstart procedures
and the online help facilities.
For a detailed description of the commands used in this chapter, refer to

Preparing for Provisioning
When an AUSM card is first installed, it must be initialized before you can start configuration. The
AUSM cards support card redundancy, and they support line redundancy and bulk distribution through
SRM cards. Before you begin provisioning connections, you need to initialize the cards you plan to
provision, and then you should configure the card and line redundancy options. Otherwise, you may have
to change your configuration later to support these options.
For instructions on initializing cards and configuring card and line redundancy, refer to the Cisco MGX
8850 (PXM1E) and MGX 883Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E) and MGX 8830 Software Configuration Guide,
Release 3.
