Presentation

The aim of configuration wizard is to have a Network Element fully configured

within a few steps.
This configuration wizard is almost common to TCO suite and Quick
Configuration via CT-K
The screen copies will be the one of TCO suite, PreProvisionning Tool (PPT).

Step 1 : NE Type
NE name as it will appear on map
NE location as it will appear on map
Letting these fields empty some applications do not work properly
Protection Type

Step 1 (continued) : Aggregate structure
Capacity of aggregate signal
Modulation scheme of ODU
Capacity
Modulation Choice

2 E1
4 QAM only

4 E1
4 / 16 QAM

8 E1
4 / 16 QAM

16 E1
4 / 16 QAM

32 E1
16 QAM only

Modulation agility is neither available for 2 E1 (4 QAM only) nor for 32 E1 (16 QAM
only) due to spectrum width used in these radios.
Capacity and modulation choices are available depending on the Licence Key
located inside the flash card. Limitations in combo boxes do not apply in the
wizard.

Note for 16 E1 Data NE :

capacity is the one of the aggregate signal. 32 E1 capacity may be used for a full
Ethernet traffic.
In this last case, only the first 16 E1 are manageable (no physical presence of other
E1 on front pannel)

Step 4 : Link Identifier

Link Identifier is coming back !

In case of Link Identifier Mismatch alarm, signal is sent anyway (Melodie behavior was
to generate an AIS)
Bug : If Expected Identifier is equal to Sent Identifier, no alarm is raised.

Step 6 : OSPF Areas configuration

Add the relevant OSPF area(s). Generally, only one is declared other than ospf 0.
Bug : If you are modifying a file, add an ospf area instead of removing / add

Step 7 : Local configuration

Default configuration on Eth/OS is 10.0.1.2 / 255.0.0.0. This has to be reminded when

the operator sends a first configuration using Eth/OS interface (communication
between PC and Equipement will be lost if this is modified).
Bug : Put the same address for NTP Spare Server even if there is only one server.
