Administer Fiber Links on Duplex Systems
All non-duplicated Switch Node Interfaces to Switch Nod e Interface fiber links
are automatically duplic ated. When PNC Duplication is enabled on the
System-Parameters Customer-Options form, the following ad ministration forms
change:
■Cabinet Form — Additional field s appear to allow administr ation of switch
nodes to A-PNC and B-PNC sides of the CSS. The B-PNC is the
duplicated hardware for the A-PNC. Either the A-PNC or the B-PNC can
provide full customized service. B-PNC cannot be used in a simplex PNC
configuration. Pairing of switch nodes is also defined here.
■Fiber Link Administration Form — Add itional fields appear to allow
administration of fiber links on the B-PNC side of the CSS. If an endpoint
on the A-PNC side is administered as an SNI, its cor responding endp oint
on the B-PNC side is determined (if switc h nodes are paired in the cab inet
form prior to this administration) and displayed. However, ad ministration
of the duplicate B-PNC link is not enforc ed until duplic ation is in full
operation.
■Duplication-Related System-Parameters Form — An addi tional field
appears to enable op eration of PNC duplication.
1. Type change system-parameters customer-options and press Enter. On
Page 2 of the form, set the PNC Duplication? field to y. Press Enter.
2. Type change system-parameters duplication and press Enter. Change
the Enable operation of PNC duplication? field to y. Press Enter.
3. Type status pnc and press Enter. Verify the Duplicated ? field is yes.
4. Type list fiber and press Enter. All administered fibe r connections disp lay.
5. If a previously used fib er link is to be reused, type add fiber <number>
and press Enter . If this is a new fiber link, type add fiber next and press
Enter.
6. The Fiber Link Administration form app ears. On Page 1 of the form:
a. Enter the Board Location: for Endpoint-1 and Endpoint-2. This
is the cabinet, carrier, an d slot that identifies the physic al location
of an SNI or EI circuit pack that is the first end point of the fiber link.
Repeat for the remaining endp oints.
b. The Board Type field is display only and shows the typ e of circuit
pack in Endpoint-1.
c. In the DS1CONV Board Location: field, enter the cab inet, carrier,
and slot that identifies the physic al location of DS1 Converter circuit
pack in the first endp oint of the duplicate fib er link. Endpoint-1’s
duplicate along with Endpoint-2’s duplic ate make up the duplic ate
fiber link called the B-PNC link.
