The Cisco 6400 SCM allows you to make and manage network connections through a set of menu options available by right clicking on an appropriate card in MapViewer. They allow you to create and configure Subscribers and Services, and to manage the subsequent connection of Subscribers to Services.
This chapter details the tasks you may need to use during day to day Service Connection Management, the name we provide to combined subscriber and service provisioning.
The tasks and windows that are required in Service Connection Management are accessed from the Chassis map in MapViewer.
Tasks and windows can also be accessed from the Objects manager, and from different objects and more than one containment tree when required. Refer to Table 6-1 for further details.

Many service providers and telecommunications carriers now offer tiered service levels to their customers and/or subscribers. These service levels are generally defined by the marketing policy of the carrier or service provider.
Configuration of the 6400 SCM service and subscriber provisioning involves the definition of a large number of parameters that are common across these policies.
The 6400 SCM utilizes the concept of a configuration profile to simplify the definition of both service parameters and subscriber QoS parameters.
A configuration profile is therefore a set of configuration parameters (or attributes) that can be set up in advance before the actual configuration operation. These profiles are saved in the CEMF database. The 6400 SCM profiles therefore speeds up both subscriber provisioning and service provisioning.
Without the use of profiles, you would have to enter a repetitive definition of the same (or similar) information for service or subscriber provisioning operations.
For example, you may wish to define "bronze" (low data rate, inexpensive), "silver" and "gold" (high data rate, expensive) profiles for subscriber QoS. This provides a simple method for use during the subscriber provisioning operation and saves retyping all of the QoS parameters individually for each new subscriber.
A typical work flow is described in this section, you can use this example as a tutorial.
This section describes how to use the 6400 SCM profile definition windows. The precise parameter values that you select for each service or subscriber QoS are dependent upon your network topology and market service offerings.
Refer to the "Service Profile Configuration Window" section for further information on the meaning of each service topology and service parameter.
This section describes the use of service profiles to simplify 6400 SCM service provisioning. There are two methods for accessing the various Cisco 6400 SCM Service Profile windows:
1. Select the Cisco 6400 UAC, Profiles, Configure Service Profiles option from an NSP object using the MapViewer application (for service types PPP-IP, PPP-L2TP, Bridged-Bridged, and Bridged-Routed).
OR
2. Select the Cisco 6400 UAC, Profiles, Configure <Service> Profiles option from an NSP object using the MapViewer application (for service types RBE, PTA-MD, and RFC1483 Routing. Where <Service> is service type RBE, PTA-MD, or RFC1483 Routing.
Service profiles are used to define configuration parameters for the uplink from the 6400 UAC to the service provider.
You can set up profiles and apply them or, alternatively, you can configure a service manually. The services available on the 6400 UAC have a number of parameters to configure. It is worth setting up a number of service profiles with at least some of the values complete (that can be applied later) to save time.

One of the most important aspect of the Cisco 6400 SCM application is Service Connection Management. The Cisco 6400 UAC contains multiple network elements, an ATM switch, multiple router cards (NRPs), and multiple line cards. Services are deployed across these network elements, a multistage process involving both SNMP and Cisco IOS management commands. The Cisco 6400 SCM application enables point-and-click connection of end subscribers to 6400-based services with all of the underlying IOS and SNMP operation hidden.
This section describes service subscriber management using a number of work flows to describe how to connect services to subscribers.
The 6400 SCM software is designed to help simplify Cisco 6400 UAC service configuration.

Figure 6-58 shows a typical work flow example that describes how to set up (provision) a subscriber (that is, the end customer). You can use this work flow as a tutorial.
The first step is to create DSLAMs and subscribers using the deployment wizard.
Each subscriber created must have at least one Quality of Service (QoS) object. They can have multiple QoS objects. One subscriber may be connected to many different types of service, and each of these may have a different subscriber QoS. You can either configure the subscriber QoS at runtime or you can create QoS profiles in advance.
The final step of the work flow is to apply the QoS profile or configure the subscriber QoS or manually at runtime. This option is available through the CEMF maps.
Subscribers within the 6400 SCM application are modeled in relation to the network. First of all you have to define a connectivity point (that is, a DSLAM).
To create DSLAM objects, proceed as follows:
Step 1 Select the Deploy, Cisco 6400 UAC, DSLAM option from a Line Card.
The Deployment wizard launches.
Step 2 Select Create DSLAM(s) in the Deployments frame (if it not already selected).
Step 3 Select Forward.
Step 4 Enter the Number of DSLAMs: to create. Enter 1 as an example.
Step 5 Select Forward.
Step 6 Enter a DSLAM Name. Enter DSLAM-1 as an example.
Step 7 Select Forward.
The Containment Details window appears.
Step 8 Click Select.
The subscriberContainment window appears.
Step 9 Select a Port to deploy the DSLAM onto. Only ports with a "green" color icon are valid. In the example shown in Figure 6-60, Port-8-0-0 is selected.
Step 10 Select Apply.
The Containment Details window reappears.
Step 11 Select Forward.
The Deployment Summary window appears.
Step 12 Select Finish to commit the deployment.
Step 13 Select Dismiss to close the Deployment wizard.
You have just created a DSLAM object connected to a selected line card port. You can now view the DSLAM object created through Objects manager on the CEMF Launchpad.
Subscriber's hold information related to the end subscriber. Subscribers are created by deploying onto a selected Line Card and connecting them to appropriate ports in the DSLAM.
To create subscribers, proceed as follows:
Step 1 Select the Deploy, Cisco 6400 UAC, Subscriber and QoS option from a Line Card.
The Deployment Selector screen appears.
Step 2 Select the Create Subscribers and associated QoSs option from the list of deployments (if not already selected).
Step 3 Click Forward.
Step 4 Enter the Number of Subscribers to create.
Step 5 Click Forward.
Step 6 Enter the Subscriber Name.
Step 7 Click Forward.
The Containment Details Screen appears.
Step 8 Click Select.
The subscriberContainment window appears.
Step 9 Select a DSLAM to deploy the subscriber onto. The DSLAM objects were deployed earlier in this work flow. DSLAM-1 is selected in the example shown in Figure 6-62.
Step 10 Select Apply. The Containment Details window reappears.
Step 11 Select Forward.
The Object Details window appears.
Step 12 Enter the Subscriber QoS name.
Step 13 Select Finish to commit the deployment and create the Subscriber.
Step 14 Select Dismiss to close the Deployment Summary window.
You may wish to create more than one subscriber QoS. It is possible that a subscriber will subscribe to multiple services and may require or may be prepared to pay for different subscriber QoS. For example, the subscriber may have a bridge service that is uses for work purposes and is paid for by their employer. This service is probably quite high-value. The subscriber may also have their own personal Internet link that would probably be a lower grade service. So this type of subscriber would need multiple subscriber QoS objects created.
To create a new subscriber QoS, proceed as follows:
Step 1 Select the Deploy, Cisco 6400 UAC, Subscriber QoS option from a Line Card.
The Deployment wizard launches.
Step 2 Select the Create Subscriber QoS(s) option from the list of deployments (if not already selected).
Step 3 Select Forward.
Step 4 Enter the Number of Subscriber QoSs to create. Enter "1" as an example.
Step 5 Select Forward.
The Object Details screen appears.
Step 6 Enter the Subscriber QoS Name in the Attributes frame.
Step 7 Select Forward.
Step 8 Click Select in the Containments frame. The subscriberContainment window appears.
Step 9 Select the Subscriber from the object map.
Step 10 Select Apply.
Step 11 Select Forward.
Step 12 Select Finish to commit the deployment and create the Subscriber QoS.
Step 13 Select Dismiss to close the Deployment Summary window.

You can apply an existing QoS profile or configure the QoS Parameters individually.
To apply a QoS profile to a subscriber QoS, proceed as follows:
Step 1 Select the Cisco 6400 UAC, QoS, Configure Subscriber QoS option from a Line Card.
Step 2 Select the Apply Profile option from the Edit menu.
Step 3 Select the profile from the list of profiles displayed.
Step 4 The QoS Profile parameters are now copied into the QoS Parameters frame and saved automatically.
Step 5 Click Dismiss.
