Displaying and Configuring Nodes

Selecting a Device

Select the device (on either the rear or front view) to display the Device Configuration dialog by doing one of the following:

• Double-click the gray area surrounding the slots (not inside ANY card).

• Select the gray area surrounding the slots, right-click to display the Device popup menu, then select Configure.

To display the configuration parameters for a particular device category, select one of the following node configuration categories from the Category popup menu:

• Node Configuration

• LAN Interfaces

• Serial Interfaces

• Sensor Info

• Card Summary

• Redundancy Info

• Sonet Line APS

• VSI Controllers

• Feeder Configuration

Node Dialog

Use the Node dialog to configure node properties (Figure 2-1).

Speed	Identifies the speed of the port.
Stop Bits	Identifies the number of stop bits for the port.
Parity	Indicates whether parity is odd or even.

Sensor Info Dialog

Use the Sensor Info dialog to display and configure switch interface information (Figure 2-4).

Figure 2-4: Sensor Info Dialog

The parameters are described in Table 2-4.

Card Summary Dialog

Use the Card Summary dialog to display a summary of all the cards in the device (Figure 2-5).

Figure 2-5: Card Summary Dialog

The parameters are described in Table 2-5.

Table 2-5: Card Summary Dialog

Parameter	Description
Module Type	Identifies the module/card type in each slot. Can be PXM45 or AXSM.
Slot Number	Identifies the slot number each module/card resides in.
Module State	Identifies the state of the module/card. Can be one of the following states: unknown OK Missing ok but diag failed boot self test failed missing mismatch wtih parent mismatch config diag failed dormant Out of Service Admin Out of ServiceEnv Temp Note   Secondary redundant cards may be disabled.
Admin Status	Administrative status of the card. Should read enabled.

Redundancy Info Dialog

Use the Redundancy Info dialog to display a summary of all the cards in the device (Figure 2-6).

Figure 2-6: Redundancy Info Dialog

The parameters are described in Table 2-6.

Table 2-6: Redundancy Info Dialog

Parameter	Description
PrimarySlot	Slot Number of the Primary module that is plugged in.
PrimaryState	Current State of the Primary module.
SecondarySlot	Slot Number of the Secondary module that is plugged in.
Secondary State	Current State of the Secondary module.
Redundancy Type	Type of redundancy used on the primary module. Can be yCable or 1toN.
Covering Slot	Slot number of the Priamry module covered by the secondary module.

Create Redundancy

To create a redundancy on a card, click Create in the Redundancy Info dialog. The Row Creation Window appears (Figure 2-7).

Figure 2-7: Redundancy Row Creation Window

The parameters are described in Table 2-7.

Table 2-7: Redundnacy Create Dialog Parameters

Parameter	Description
Redundancy Primary SlotNum	Slot number of the primary redundant module.
Redundancy Secondary SlotNum	Slot number of the secondary redundant module.
RedundancyType	Type of redundancy available. Can be yCable or 1toN.

Sonet Line APS Dialog

Use the Sonet Line APS dialog to display a summary of all the cards in the device (Figure 2-8).

Figure 2-8: Sonet Line APS Dialog

The parameters are described in Table 2-8.

Table 2-8: Sonet Line APS Dialog Parameters

Parameter	Description
Working Line	Identifies the working line.
Backup Line	Identifies the backup line.
APS Enable Status	Displays whether the APS line is enabled or disabled.
APS Mode	Configures APS architecture mode on the working/protection line pairs. The following modes are supported: onePlusOne—Supported on the same card and across 2 cards. This mode means that the transmit and receive signals go only over the active line. (The active line can be a working or protectio line). oneToOne—Supported only on the same card. This mode means that the transmit and receive signals go over the working and protection lines. Note   oneToOne is not supported across 2 slots,i.e. the working and protection slot numbers must be the same in oneToOne(2).
Active Line	Identifies the active line.
Signal Fault BER	Bit Error Rate threshold for Signal Fault detection on the working line. Once this threshold is exceeded, an APS switch will occur. This value is 10 to the -n, where n is between 3 and 5.
Switch Back Time	Interval in minutes to wait before attempting to switch back to working line. Note   This object is not applicable on lines configured in non-revertive mode. A protection line will continue to be active, even if failures on the working line are cleared. The framer clears the signal-fault and signal-degrade when APS switch occurs.
Switching Direction	Configures the switching direction which this APS line supports. Unidirectional—APS switch only in one direction. Bidirectional—APS switch in both ends of the line.
APS Revertive	Configures the APS revertive or nonrevertive option.
