Model Options

Selecting Model options from the Config<Global menu allows you to specify the model parameter settings listed in Table 4-17.

Table 4-18 Execute Menu Model Parameter Settings

	Setting	Defaults	Description
	Optimize LDI Ports	Y		Y—NMT tries to optimize the cost of the LDP cards by using lower cost
				LDP-4 cards instead of LDP-8 cards.
				If no, NMT only uses LDP-8 cards. You can still explicitly call for an
				LDP card with a specific line count.
	Group Bursty Conns	Y		Y—NMT groups connections when their number exceeds the maximum
				number of LCONS. An LCON is a resource required for each network
				route with similar properties. The grouping of connections allows more
				routed connections in a network.
				If no, NMT does not group connections and fails to build a site when a
				grouping is required.
	Distribute Groups	Y		Y—NMT optimizes the grouping of connections to smooth network
				loading.
				If no, NMT does not optimize grouping.
	Use SRM-3T3 on	N		Y—NMT will provision an SRM-3T3 service redundant module on all
	MGX 8220			MGX 8220 shelves.
				If no, NMT will provision an SRM-3T3 service redundant module only if
				the case connection interface requires it.
	Bundle Voice with CCS	Y		Y—NMT will bundle voice connections with CCS signalling and create
				a transparent connection (type T) to carry line signalling.
				If No, NMT will not bundle voice connections; it is your responsibility to
				specify the channel for CCS signalling.
	Use Preferred Route	Y		Y—route the connection with the preferred route if one exists.
				If no, use the current route.
				Note	This does not apply to failure analysis.
				Note	CET Extractions will set this field to ‘N’.
	Use Port ID	Y		Y— NMT assigns slots and ports based on hub and feeder IDs.
				If no, NMT treats all ID fields as though they were zero filled, and
				provisions links and connections using its own algorithms.
	Port ID Over Redundancy	N		Y—the system eliminates the redundant card if another card has
				requested the hub ID of the backup card.
				If no, the system gives backup cards precedence over another card that
				was assigned the same port. In this case, NMT overrides the hub ID and
				moves one of the connections to a different location.
	New Share with Port ID	N		Y—NMT allows connections IDs of zero to share ports with connections
				having IDs other than zero.
				If no, NMT does not allow this.
