OTM 2.1 (and later) OA&M using OTM 2.1 (and later) applications
Follow the steps in Procedure 58 to create a "dummy" IP Trunk 3.01 (and
later) node for retrieving and viewing the real IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) node
configuration, without overwriting the existing IP Trunk 3.01 (and later)
configuration data for an existing node in the OTM IP Trunk 3.01 (and later)
database. Retrieving the real IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) node configuration to
the "dummy" node is useful in the following cases:
• isolating IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) node configuration faults
• determining which copy of the database is correct, so that the required
direction of database synchronization can be determined:
— transmit the OTM IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) database to the IP Trunk
3.01 (and later) node
— retrieve the database from the IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) node for the
OTM IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) node
Add the dummy node manually or by retrieving the IP Trunk 3.01 (and later)
node configuration data from an existing IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) node.
The site name, Meridian 1 system name, and Meridian 1 customer number
must exist in the OTM Navigator before a new IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) node
can be added.
The following is the recommended method to create the "dummy" IP Trunk
3.01 (and later) node.
Procedure 58
Creating a 'dummy" IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) node
1 In OTM Navigator, add a site named "Retrieve ITG data".
2 Add system named "Dummy," of type "Meridian 1," under the site named
"Retrieve ITG data".
3 Add Customer Number "99" on the "dummy" Meridian 1 system.
