Conventions used

The following conventions are used in this document.

Important!

This is important information.

User interface to system

You will interact with the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5 equipped with the VLNC2 SYSCTL and VLNC50/52/55 SONET/SDH Transport circuit packs using a PC and a windows-based graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI is called the (WaveStar® CIT) and permits system-level and VLNC50/52/55 circuit pack/port operations to be performed (for example, administration, provisioning, and fault management).

You will interact with the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5 equipped with the VLNC40/42/42B Ethernet Aggregator, VLNC60/61 Circuit Emulator, and/or VLNC64 Circuit Emulation Mini-Hub circuit packs using a PC and the Web GUI interface or Command Line Interface (CLI) messages. The Web GUI and CLI messages permit VLNC4x/VLNC6x circuit pack operations to be performed (for example, administration and provisioning).

Using the Web GUI

Procedures presented in this document expect you to be familiar with the Web GUI and navigation windows. The windows are designed to be straightforward and to contain all information relating to a particular operation. The procedures presented in this document rely on the information provided in the window displays. Therefore, it is imperative that you read all the information provided in a window before continuing an operational function.

Using the Command Line Interface (CLI) messages

For a detailed description of the Command Line Interface (CLI) messages and general information about using the Command Line Interface (CLI), refer to Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS-5) Command Line Interface Guide.

Using procedures

To find instructions for performing a specific job, first determine the procedure category (for example, acceptance or node turn-up). After determining the procedure category, go to the corresponding procedure chapter and find the procedure in the chapter Contents table.

The procedures in the following chapters contain step-by-step instructions to accomplish a distinct user job:

Some procedures are referenced from multiple procedures to support a job function you are performing. Proceed to a supporting procedure only when it is referred to by another procedure. Supporting procedures are not to be accessed directly except by very experienced personnel.

Important!

Perform all steps in a procedure sequentially, unless that step sends you to another step or procedure.

Unless otherwise instructed, if one procedure sends you to another procedure, you must return to the first procedure after you complete the second. After you have completed the first procedure element, you have finished.

If/Then statements in a procedure

If …/Then … columns in a procedure contain only one condition that is true in a table cell under the If … column. Perform the action in the related table cell under the Then … column. Then continue to the next sequential step or as directed by the action under the Then … column.

Verifying actions

Sometimes you will be asked to verify that actions have occurred. This may take the form of a formal statement with the expected response. At other times, you will be instructed to merely verify that the action occurred. If the expected response is not observed and a specific trouble-clearing reference is not made, reference the Trouble clearing procedures chapter in the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS-5) Maintenance and Trouble-Clearing Guide, to start trouble clearing.
