PROVISIONING

In D3LX systems, provisioning occurs automatically if a remote module is installed. In the event that a remote module is not installed or properly functioning, refer to the manual provisioning process below.

MANUAL

Manual provisioning of the D3LX system may be performed locally through the SCU (version 3.7 or later) or remotely through the D3RCAM. Craft interface software provides a user-friendly menu driven program to option the modules in the system and maintain a provisioning database at the central office. In the chassis with the SCU, provisioning instructions pass to resident modules through communication channels embedded in the backplane of the chassis.

Perform manual provisioning through the craft interface of the D3LX module after installation or when changes occur in the network system configuration. For complete information about manual provisioning, refer to the Soneplex Loop Extender System Operation and Maintenance Manual (Version S1.0), document ADCP-61-494 and Soneplex Shelf Controller User Manual (V3.7).

AUTOMATIC

Automatic provisioning occurs in a previously provisioned system when replacing the D3LX module or when power to the module is lost and then restored. In systems with D3LXs at the CO, the SCU provides provisioning data to the module (slot) that powers up, based on the database established when the system was previously provisioned.

When an SCU is replaced at the CO, the new SCU module requests provisioning data from the D3LX CO modules in the local chassis and from the remote modules optically connected to them. Additionally, the SCU retains its provisioning database up to 24 hours after power is lost.

The following items are configured during provisioning:

•Protect or Non-Protect operation

•BER Minor Alarm Threshold (range, 10-6to 10-10)

•BER Switch Threshold (range, 10-4to 10-10)

•Equipped/Unequipped state

•Line State

–In-Service (IS)

–Out of Service (OOS)

•Alarm reporting options. For more information, see “Alarm Setting During Provisioning” on page 19.

•Line Buildout (range: two segments between 0 - 450 ft)
