Assigned Ports | Displays the LIM and CAP ATU-C ports that have been assigned to a logical pool. |
Unassigned Ports | Displays the LIM and CAP ATU-C ports that have not been assigned to a logical pool. |
| Ratio Field | Description |
Assigned | Useful when you are initially configuring logical pools. This ratio is based on locked entities. Assigned Port OSR effectively displays the target oversubscription provisioning ratio for the pool. Assigned Port OSR equals the number of line ports that are assigned to the logical pool divided by the number of CAP ATU-C ports that are assigned to the logical pool. You can use this ratio to estimate the actual load on a particular module. |
Provisioned and Unlocked | Useful for verifying whether you have properly configured the system and that the Administrative State is unlocked and can support the target OSR. This ratio is equal to the assigned port OSR when you have completed all provisioning that is needed to support service and you have unlocked all of the entities. Locking CAP ATU-C ports increases the OSR (for example, 3:1 goes to 6:1). Locking LIMs reduces the OSR (for example, 6:1 goes to 3:1). Provisioned and Unlocked OSR equals the number of unlocked line ports that are
You can divide this number by the number of unlocked CAP ATU-C ports that are assigned to the logical pool and subordinate to an unlocked module. |
Provisioned and In Service | Displays the active OSR that the system is experiencing, factoring required configurations, administrative permissions, and the Service state of the pooled ports. This ratio includes the Operational state of the system and varies as alarms set or clear. Provisioned and In Service OSR equals the number of in-service line ports assigned to the logical pool that are also associated with an unlocked subscriber. You can divide this number by the number of in-service CAP ATU-C ports assigned to the logical pool. |
To configure subscribers according to their designated service, you must access the Subscriber Properties dialog box.
