Note in this release, since PAR is the network controller controlling the MGX 8230, there is no need to configure resources.

Configuring the Line as a Feeder Trunk

A line connected to the MGX 8230 PXM line module can function as a feeder trunk. In addition to configuring the use of the trunk at the MGX 8230, you must also configure the trunk at the far-end BPX.

To configure the trunk for the feeder application at the near-end:

Step 1 Open the Configure Card window.

Step 2 For the CATEGORY, select PAR Configuration.

Step 3 In the PAR Configuration window, select PAR Interface. In the PAR Interface window, the only configurable column is the PAR Interface Type.

Step 4 For the logical interface type—1 for the feeder trunk—hold the left mouse button down in the PAR Interface Type column for this logical interface. The choices are “feedertrunk” and “routing trunk.”

Step 5 Select “feedertrunk,” then click on the modify button at the bottom of the screen.

Step 6 Log in to the BPX at the other end of the feeder trunk and use the addshelf command to add the MGX 8230 as a feeder.
