Provisioning


Overview

Purpose

This section describes the many types of provisionable parameters for SONET/SDH and Ethernet operations that are available in Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5 when equipped with VLNC2, VLNC35, and VLNC50/52/55 circuit packs. This section does not include commands for provisioning VLNC40/VLNC42/VLNC42B/VLNC60/VLNC61/VLNC62/VLNC64 circuit packs. For a detailed description of the Command Line Interface (CLI) messages used to interface with the VLNC40/VLNC42/VLNC42B/VLNC60/VLNC61/VLNC62/VLNC64 circuit packs and general information about using the Command Line Interface (CLI), refer to Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS-5) Command Line Interface Guide.

Definition

Provisioning is the modification of certain programmable parameters that define how the node functions with various installed entities. Provisioning requests may alter auto provisioned values of an entity that already exists. Parameter modifications for SONET/SDH operations may be initiated locally or remotely with a WaveStar® CIT or an OS. Parameter modifications may be applied to the node via the intra-office local area network (IAO LAN), serial port, or any data communications channel (DCC). The provisioned data is maintained in NVM and/or hardware registers. The provisionable parameters and values (current and original) are maintained in the nonvolatile memory.
