To configure SCADA on a 7705 SAR

Purpose

Perform this procedure to configure SCADA on a 7705 SAR-8 or 7705 SAR-18, Release 6.1 R1 or later. To configure SCADA, an ISC must be installed in the daughter card slot. See 7705 SAR for more information about the ISC.

Steps
 
1 

In the navigation tree equipment view, navigate to the shelf object on which you want to configure SCADA. The path is Network→NE→Shelf.

2 

Right-click on the Shelf object and choose Properties. The Shelf (Edit) form opens.

3 

Click on the SCADA tab.

4 

Select one or more ports that you want to configure as a SCADA bridge, and click Properties. The SCADA Bridge - MDDB (Edit) form opens.

All of the ports have the bridge type as MDDB by default. If you want to configure PCM, you must change the MDA mode on the ISC. See To configure an MDA.

5 

Perform one of the following:

  1. If you set the MDA mode of the ISC to MDDB, configure the general parameters and parameters in the MDDB panel.

  2. If you set the MDA mode of the ISC to PCM, configure the general parameters and parameters in the PCM panel.

The Squelch Reset Timeout (seconds) parameter only appears if you set the Squelch Reset Mode parameter to Auto.

The Force Active Master parameter only appears if the Redundant Mode parameter is set to Manual.

Note: The MDA mode of the ISC can be configured for VCB. See To configure voice conference bridging on a 7705 SAR for more information.

6 

Configure SCADA branches. You can create up to 32 branches per bridge.

  1. Click on the Branches tab.

  2. Click Create. The SCADA Branch (Create) form opens.

  3. Configure the required parameters.

  4. Click OK and confirm to close the form.

  5. Configure more SCADA branches, as required.

    You can add SCADA MDDB and PCM branches as SAPs on an L2 access interface on a VLL Cpipe or Epipe service site. See To create a VLL L2 access interface on a terminating site for more information.

7 

Click OK to save the configuration.

8 

To activate or deactivate a SCADA bridge, select one or more SCADA bridges listed on the Shelf (Edit) form.

  1. Click Turn Up and confirm to activate the SCADA bridge.

  2. Click Shut Down and confirm to deactivate the SCADA bridge.

9 

Save and close the form.
