4.7.2.1 Provision Control & Switching Module (CSM)
CSM provisioning requirements depend on how the Ethernet and NMS ports on the front
panel of the module are being used. If the CSM Ethernet ports are being used to interface
external Ethernet equipment and TMN (SNMP) is not being used to monitor and control the
NE, then only the Ethernet Physical interface needs to be provisioned. The TMN Interface is
disabled. If Ethernet port 4 or the NMS port on the CSM is being used to transport TMN
data, then both the Ethernet Physical Interface and TMN Interface need to be provisioned.
The NMS port is normally reserved for Craft Terminal interface with the PC. When
enabled, the NMS port can be used to daisy chain TMN data to other equipment at the
site. The serial data interface with the PC for the Craft Terminal on the NMS port is
always enabled and requires no special provisioning.
See the flow chart (Figure 4 -
