Assigning New Connections - Nortel SONET AccessNode Manual

4-20 Preparing for system integration
Procedure 4-6

Assigning new connections

Use this procedure to display end-to-end connections in the operations
controller (OPC) span of control and to add a connection to the list. You can
modify the list using the sort and filter commands in the List and View menus.
A DS1 facility can be assigned a tandem, GR-303 digital multiplex switch
(DMS), GR-303 multi-vendor interface (MVI), virtual line concentrating
module (VLCM), or TR-08 service. Tandem and TR-08 services are
nonswitched and nonlocally switched connections to the special services
digital network (SSDN). GR-303 DMS and GR-303 MVI are switched
services.
Facility assignment is done using the Connection Manager tool located in the
Provisioning Administration toolset or Network Administration toolset on the
operations controller (OPC) user interface.
Some of the steps in this procedure address setting up VT-managed
connections. These steps apply only to network elements in a VTBM ring. For
network elements that are in point-to-point systems, single-ended systems, or
DS1-fed systems, the navigation tables guide you to the steps you need to
perform.
Requirements
Before performing this procedure, do the following:
•
•
•
•
AccessNode Vol 3B 323-3001-221 Issue 2.0
Note: When choosing GR-303 DMS or GR-303 MVI, you must also
assign the host and logical port on the host. When choosing TR-08, you
must also assign the system ID and link ID.
Verify that you are logged in to the OPC user interface.
Have a user ID and password that allow you to access the User Session
Manager window.
Verify that you have provisioned a host for all GR-303 DMS DS1s and
GR-303 MVI DS1s that are assigned a service. This should have been
completed in Procedure 4-5 on page 4-16.
Read the command conventions for the interface you are using, either
character-mode terminal (CMT) or graphical, in OPC User Interface
