Procedure 7-14: Provision/enable/disable the NE as a TL1 TCP/IP GNE

Overview

Use this procedure to provision, enable, or disable the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5 as a TL1 TCP/IP GNE.

Privilege level

You must log in as a Privileged user to complete this procedure.

Before you begin

Prior to performing this procedure:

Refer to Before you begin and Required equipment in this chapter.
Obtain the work instructions for this procedure.
Complete Procedure 7-13: Provision TCP/IP on IAO LAN port to provision and enable TCP/IP for the LAN port.
Verify that the work instructions specify the IP calling addresses, host names (optional), and host types for the OS hosts which will be allowed access to the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5 TL1 TCP/IP GNE.

Steps

Perform the following steps to complete this procedure.


1	From the System View menu, select Administration → Data Communications. Result: The Data Communications window opens.
2	Click on the TCP/IP tab. Result: The TCP/IP parameters appear.
3	Verify that TCP/IP is properly provisioned and enabled for the LAN-1 port. Reference: Procedure 7-13: Provision TCP/IP on IAO LAN port
4	Click on the TCP/IP Gateway tab. Result: The TCP/IP Gateway parameters appear.
5	Provision TCP/IP Gateway Control (Enable or Disable) according to the work instructions.
6	From your work instructions, determine which IP calling addresses will be allowed to access the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5 TL1 TCP/IP GNE.
7	Important! Changes to an existing IP map entry (OS Host IP address, OS Host Name or OS Type) will not impact any existing connections to the corresponding OS. For example, if an OS Host IP address is removed from the table, and a connection to that OS is currently present, that connection is maintained until the user manually terminates the connection. Use the instructions on the screen to add, modify, or delete a gateway host from the TCP/IP Gateway Host List. The following parameters apply: The Host IP address is four dot-separated decimal numbers, each ranging from 0 to 255. The Host Name may consist of 1 to 24 alpha-numeric characters (optional field) The Host OS Type may consist of standard types or listed as other. Important! If the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5 is the TL1 TCP/IP GNE for an or , then the Host OS Type must be provisioned to TL1PEERCOMM, and all Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5 Message Types for the TL1PEERCOM OS Type must be enabled using Administration → Set TL1 Message Map. Refer to Procedure 7-16: Map TL1 message types to OS applications. Repeat this step for each of the Host IP addresses you want to authorize for access to the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5 TL1 TCP/IP GNE. There may be up to 20 provisioned entries in the list.
8	Click Apply. Result: A warning appears asking you to confirm executing this command.
9	Click Yes to execute the command, then click Close to exit window, if desired. End of steps
