Change Node Settings


This chapter explains how to modify node provisioning. To provision a new node, see "Turn Up Node." To change default network element settings and to view a list of those settings, see "Network Element Defaults."

Before You Begin

Before performing the following procedures, investigate all alarms and clear any trouble conditions. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide as necessary.

This section lists the chapter procedures (NTPs). Turn to a procedure for applicable tasks (DLPs).

1. NTP-81 Change Node Management Information—As needed, complete this procedure to change node name, contact information, latitude, longitude, date, and time.

2. NTP-82 Change CTC Network Access—As needed, complete these procedures to change the IP address, default router, subnet mask, and network configuration settings, and to modify static routes.

3. NTP-83 Customize the CTC Network View—As needed, complete this procedure to customize the appearance of the network map, including specifying a different default map, selecting your own map or image, and changing the background color.

4. NTP-84 Modify or Delete Card Protection Settings—As needed, complete these procedures to modify and delete 1:1, 1:N, and 1+1 protection groups.

5. NTP-85 Change Node Timing—As needed, complete these procedures to make changes to the network timing parameters.

6. NTP-86 Modify Users and Change Security—As needed, complete these procedures to make changes to user settings and to delete users.

7. NTP-87 Change SNMP Settings—As needed, complete these procedures to modify or delete SNMP.

Note You can replace the network view background image with any JPEG or GIF image that is accessible on a local or network drive. If you want to position nodes on the map based on the node coordinates, you will need the longitudes and latitudes for the edges of the map. You can obtain the longitude and latitude for cities and Zip Codes from the U.S. Census Bureau U.S. Gazetteer website (www.census.gov/cgi-bin/gazetteer). If you will use your mouse to position nodes, coordinates for the image edges are not necessary. The change does not affect other CTC users.



Step 1 If CTC is in card or node view, from the View menu, choose Go to Network View.

Step 2 From the Edit menu, choose Preferences. (You also right-click the network or domain map and select Set Background Image.)

Step 3 On the Map tab of the Preferences dialog box ( Figure 10-3), deselect Use Default Map.

Figure 10-3 Changing the CTC background image

Step 4 Click Browse. Navigate to the graphic file you want to use as a background.

Step 5 Select the file. Click Open.

Step 6 (Optional) Enter the coordinates for the map image edges in the longitude and latitude fields on the Preferences dialog box. CTC uses the map's longitude and latitude to position the node icons based on the node coordinates entered for each node on the Provisioning > General tabs. Coordinates only need to be precise enough to place ONS node icons in approximate positions on the image.


Tip You can also drag and drop nodes to position them on the network view map.


Step 7 Click Apply and then click OK.

Step 8 If the ONS 15454 icons are not visible, right-click the network view and choose Zoom Out. Repeat this step until the ONS 15454 icons are visible.

Step 9 Press Ctrl, click an ONS 15454 icon, and drag it to a new location.

Step 10 Repeat Step 9 until all ONS 15454 icons are positioned where you want them.

Step 11 Right-click the network view and choose Zoom In. Repeat until the ONS 15454 icons are displayed at the magnification you want.

Step 12 At the network view, use the CTC toolbar Zoom buttons (or right-click the graphic area and select a Zoom command from the shortcut menu) to set the area of the image you can view.

Revertive

Revertive Time

See the "DLP-69 Set Up External or Line Timing" task for field descriptions.

Step 3 In the BITS Facilities section, you can change the following information:


Note The BITS Facilities section sets the parameters for your BITS1 and BITS2 timing references. Many of these settings are determined by the timing source manufacturer. If equipment is timed through BITS Out, you can set timing parameters to meet the requirements of the equipment.


State

Coding

Framing

Sync Messaging

AIS Threshold

LBO

Step 4 Under Reference Lists, you can change the following information:


Note Reference lists define up to three timing references for the node and up to six BITS Out references. BITS Out references define the timing references used by equipment that can be attached to the node's BITS Out pins on the backplane. If you attach equipment to BITS Out pins, you normally attach it to a node with Line mode because equipment near the External timing reference can be directly wired to the reference.

NTP-86 Modify Users and Change Security

The CISCO15 user provided with each ONS 15454 can be used to set up other ONS 15454 users. You can add up to 500 users to one ONS 15454. You can perform ONS 15454 user management tasks from network or node view. In network view, you can add, edit, or delete users from multiple nodes at one time. If you perform user management tasks in node view, you can only add, edit, or delete users from that node.

See the "NTP-30 Create Users and Assign Security" procedure for more information about adding users.
