To configure a VWM shelf for a 7210 SAS
Before you begin
The 1830 VWM is an add-on optical module that provides WDM capability to 7210 SAS devices. Support for 1830 VWM shelves varies depending on the 7210 SAS chassis type. See the NE documentation for more information.
Steps
1 |
On the equipment tree, expand Network→NE→VWM Shelves. |
2 |
Right-click on VWM Shelves and choose Configure VWM Shelf. The VWM Shelf (Create) form opens. |
3 |
Configure the required parameters. Configure the Shelf ID parameter to match the hardware shelf ID value that is preset on the rotary dial of the 1830 VWM module. If the Shelf ID parameter does not match the hardware shelf ID, the correct manufacturer details will not appear on the VWM Shelf form. Some chassis types support a value of zero for the Shelf ID parameter. When a value of zero is configured, the VWM Type parameter is set to DWDM-A (DWDM-active) by default and is not configurable. |
4 |
On the equipment tree, expand the VWM Shelves object to the VWM Card Slot level. |
5 |
Right-click on a VWM Card Slot object and choose Configure Card. The Configure VWM Card Slot form opens. |
6 |
Configure the Assigned VWM Card Type parameter. The Assigned VWM Card Type parameter provides a way to check if the equipped card type is acceptable. An alarm is raised when the equipped VWM card type in the module does not match the Assigned VWM Card Type. |
7 |
Save your change and close the form. |
8 |
Repeat Step 5 to Step 7 for each additional card slot that you need to configure. |
9 |
You can view information about VWM controllers, such as Status and manufacturer details, by opening the VWM controller properties form. To open the form, right click on a VWM controller object in the navigation tree and choose Properties. The Status parameter indicates whether a controller is operational or standing by. The Status parameter is available only for DWDM and DWDM-A shelf types. |
