Administer Fiber Links (Release 6r

Only)

Administer system fiber link configurations to match the hardware installed and according to the Fiber Optic Cable Running List.

NOTE:

Fiber link administration interacts with or depends upon other system features that must be administered before it.

Fiber link administration creates translation data by identifying the endpoint pairs for each link. Endpoints can be:

■An Expansion Interface (EI) circuit pack

■A Switch Node Interface (SNI) circuit pack

Circuit Pack Form

After installing the equipment (including circuit packs), the circuit packs must be administered before the fiber link is administered. Refer to DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server Release 6 Administration and Feature Description for more information.

The following information describes general circuit pack administration information:

a.Use the Circuit Packs form to administer circuit packs to carrier slots. Install or administer the circuit packs (or assigned using the Circuit Packs form) before administering voice terminals, attendant consoles, or trunks.

b. Each page of the form represents 1 carrier in the cabinet shown on the command line.

c. Refer to DEFINITY Communications System Generic 3 Planning and Configuration, 555-230-601, for more information about circuit pack administration and port assignment records.

d. For initial installation, assign circuit packs to slots using the hardware configuration layout record from the factory or Customer Services Organization. Do not arbitrarily assign circuit packs to slots.

e.If the carrier type administered on the Cabinet Administration form does not match the physical hardware, question marks (??) may display in the Code fields.

f.When a circuit pack in a slot differs from what has been administered on the form, a “#” displays between the “Sfx” and “Name” fields to indicate a conflict.

g. For Release 6r, the number of slot fields displayed represents administrable slots for the given carrier type.
