Configuring and Initiating OAM Loopbacks
560 Avidia System Configuration and Management User Manual
From the OAM Loopback Table, set the Source Location ID for the Avidia system. This is
important, as it enables the Avidia system to determine whether or not it is the originator of
received loopback cells. The Source Location ID default is
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. Set a unique ID prior to initiating a loopback, as other
devices involved in the loopback could default to the same Location ID (see “ATM Device
Addresses” on page23 for more inf ormatio n about Locations IDs). It is recommended that
theO AM Source Location ID address for the Avidia system is set up with:
•a unique address that is meaningful to you for the first 13 octets
•all zeros for the last three octets
1In the OAM Loopback Table window, click Set to display the Set Source Location ID window.
2In the Source Location ID box, type the OAM Location ID (format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx where x is an integer 0 - 9 or an alpha character a - f).
It is recommended to use 13-octet network prefix for the Avidia system followed by
00:00:00 for the Source Location ID.

not clicked Set.
