Procedure 7-1: Provision system administration parameters
Overview
Use this procedure as reference for provisioning optional system administration parameters from the System View Administration menu.
Administration parameters allow you to:
Depending on local procedures, types of configurations, and shelf equipage, some of the optional parameters may need to be set. It is assumed that local system administration is responsible for determining these parameter settings.
Some of the parameter values may be set during the initial shelf turn-up. Other parameter values may be set after the system is integrated into the network configuration.
Steps
Use the sections in this procedure as reference for setting system administration parameters.
1 |
Reference the sections in this procedure to provision the required Administration parameters from your work instructions. Important! Some of the parameters may have already been provisioned from earlier procedures. End of steps |

Procedure 7-7: Allow/inhibit autonomous message reporting
Allows/Inhibits reporting of autonomous alarm and status messages on a user basis per login session. Select Enabled or Disabled as required.
Allow/Inhibit Port/Tributary Maintenance
The following commands allow a privileged user to change the maintenance state of existing ports and tributaries.
Administration → Allow/Inhibit Port Maintenance
Administration → Allow/Inhibit Tributary Maintenance
Procedure 7-23: Allow/inhibit port/tributary maintenance
Change NE Login Banner
This command allows a privileged user to add a user-defined proprietary notice at login to enhance system security.
Administration → Change NE Login Banner
Procedure 7-8: Create or edit login banner
Set NE
This command allows a privileged user to provision the NE defaults for the following:
Administration → Set NE
Set Date and Time
This command allows a privileged user to manually set the Date and Time for this NE.
Administration → Set Date and Time
Procedure 7-10: Set date and time
Note that this command is used to manually set the Date and Time for the NE. If you are using Network Time Protocol, refer to Administration → Set Network Time Protocol
Procedure 7-10: Set date and time
Set TID
This command allows a privileged user to set the Target Identifier (TID) for this NE. The more common time to change a TID is prior to placing the system in-service. However, this procedure can also be used to change the TID of an in-service system.
Administration → Set TID
Procedure 7-11: Set/change system TID
The TID is a character string from 1 to 20 characters and must be unique for each NE in the network.
Data Communications
This command allows a privileged user to provision data communications functions.
Administration → Data Communications
Selecting one of the following tabs allows a privileged user to provision Data Communications parameters:
-
Use this procedure to provision IP Routing functionality to utilize DCC Channels for IP communications.
Procedure 9-8: Add IP route(s) through network
Use this procedure to provision static IP routes over DCC links.
-
Use this procedure to enable or disable the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend as a TL1 TCP/IP GNE and provision authorized IP calling OS host addresses.
Note that TCP/IP functionality must also be enabled and the required TCP/IP parameters provisioned for at least one of the NE's IAO LAN ports.
Procedure 7-16: Provision/enable/disable the NE as a TL1 TCP/IP GNE
-
Use this procedure to provision the selected CIT-1 and/or CIT-2 serial port parameters. The user of a serial port may adjust the echo and baudrate parameters of the port. Only a privileged user may modify the parameters without using the serial port.
Procedure 7-18: Provision RS232 CIT (CIT-1) and/or MODEM (CIT-2) serial port parameters
-
Use this procedure to provision system SNMP management features.
Related SNMP provisioning may require LAN port provisioning, IP Routing, and TCP/IP access.
-
Use this procedure to enable or disable the OSI-LAN port status for LAN ports lan-1 and/or lan-2.
