Chapter 7: System administration procedures

Overview

Purpose

Use the procedures in this chapter as reference for provisioning optional system administration parameters from the WaveStar^® CIT System View Administration menu.

This chapter includes procedures used to:

Change your own password (Change Password)
Provision User and Network Element Security
Provision Data Communications
Set TL1 Message Map
Change NE Login Banner
Set Date and Time
Set TID (system name)
Set NE defaults (FTP, AGNE, remote NE status)
Provision Network Time Protocol

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.

These procedures apply only to the VLNC50/52/55 SONET/SDH Transport, VLNC35 Fast Ethernet, and VLNC2 SYSCTL circuit packs.

For procedures related to the VLNC40/42/42B, VLNC60/61/62, and 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.

For procedures related to the VLNC40/42/42B, VLNC60/61/62, and VLNC64 circuit packs, and general information about using the Web-based GUI interface, refer to Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS-5) CLI User Provisioning Guide.
