Chapter 4 Turn Up Node

DLP-D68 Provision the IIOP Listener Port on the CTC Computer

DLP-D68 Provision the IIOP Listener Port on the CTC Computer

Purpose

This task selects the IIOP listener port on CTC.

Tools/Equipment

IIOP listener port number from LAN or firewall administrator.

Prerequisite Procedures

DLP-D60 Log into CTC, page 3-24

Required/As Needed

Required only if the computer running CTC resides behind a firewall.

Onsite/Remote

Onsite or remote

Security Level

Provisioning or higher

Step 1 In node view, from the Edit menu, choose Preferences.

Step 2 In the Preferences dialog box, click the Firewall tab.

Step 3 In the CTC CORBA (IIOP) Listener Port area, choose a listener port option:

•Default - Variable—Use to connect to ONS 15454 SDH nodes from within a firewall or if no firewall is used (default).

•Standard Constant—Use Port 683, the CORBA default port number.

•Other Constant—If Port 683 is not used, enter the IIOP port defined by your administrator.

Step 4 Click Apply. A warning appears telling you that the port change will apply during the next CTC login.

Step 5 Click OK.

Step 6 In the Preferences dialog box, click OK.

Step 7 To access the ONS 15454 SDH using the IIOP port, log out of CTC (from the File menu, select Exit and log back in).

Step 8 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

NTP-D28 Set Up Timing

Purpose

This procedure provisions the ONS 15454 SDH timing.

Tools/Equipment

None

Prerequisite Procedures

NTP-D24 Verify Card Installation, page 4-2

Required/As Needed

Required

Onsite/Remote

Onsite or remote

Security Level

Provisioning or higher

Note If the ONS 15454 is a DWDM or hybrid (TDM and DWDM) node, do not complete this procedure if you are provisioning the node for line timing with an OSCM or OSC-CSM card as a timing reference. The OSCM and OSC-CSM are not available for selection on the Timing subtab until you complete the “NTP-D290 Install the DWDM or Hybrid Node Cards” procedure on page 5-3 . If the DWDM or hybrid node timing is external, that is, timing is derived from a BITS source wired to the backplane, you can complete this procedure now.
