Configuring a Cisco BTS 10200 EMS Server

Use this procedure after you have added a new Cisco BTS 10200 EMS server to the Cisco EPOM inventory. (See the "Adding a Cisco BTS 10200 EMS Server" section on page 3-13.)

Step 1 In the navigation pane, expand the domain tree:

a. Click all.

b. Click BTS 10200s.

You see the Cisco BTS 10200 EMS servers currently in the inventory. In this example, there are two servers: ems server and ems server 3.

Step 2 Click the Cisco BTS 10200 EMS server that you want to configure. The Details window opens, as shown in this example:

Step 3 Click Config. The Component Status window opens (see Step 4).

The navigation pane shows the Configuration tree, and the content area shows the status of the selected Cisco BTS 10200 EMS server.

Note The first access of the Cisco BTS 10200 EMS server component status may take a few seconds.

Step 4 To show or change the Cisco BTS 10200 EMS server configuration, click objects in the Configuration tree. See the "Adding a Component to the Cisco BTS 10200 Configuration" section.

Adding a Component to the Cisco BTS 10200 Configuration

Tip Make sure that you have the configuration information for the component that you want to add to the Cisco EPOM inventory.

Add components to the Cisco EPOM inventory to build a managed network. The device information includes static and dynamic selections to other parts of the configuration. Follow this example to add a dial plan.

Step 1 From the Domain window, select the domain > BTS10200s > the Cisco BTS 10200 EMS server.

Step 2 Click Config.

The Cisco BTS 10200 Component Status window opens.

Step 3 In the Configuration tree, choose Office Tables > dial_plan.

The Cisco BTS 10200 Component window opens showing a list of dial plans. If this is the first dial plan (or device of this type) that you are adding, the list is empty.

Step 4 Click Add.

The Cisco BTS 10200 Component Add window opens.

Step 5 Define the device. Required fields are identified with a red checkmark.

Step 6 Click OK or Apply.

•When you click OK, the component is added and the list of components in the Component:name window appears.

•When you click Apply, the component is added, but you remain in the Add component window for further tasks.

You return to the Cisco BTS 10200 Component window. The new dial plan is added to the list.

To edit a single component, see the "Editing a Component in the Cisco BTS 10200 Configuration" section; to delete a single component, see the "Deleting a Component from the Cisco BTS 10200 Configuration" section.

To add, edit, or delete multiple components with a single operation, see the "Bulk Command Provisioning" section.

Editing a Component in the Cisco BTS 10200 Configuration

Step 1 From the Domain window, choose the domain > BTS10200s > the Cisco BTS 10200 EMS server.

Step 2 Click Config.

The Cisco BTS 10200 Component Status window opens.

Step 3 In the Configuration tree, choose Office Tables > dial_plan.

The Cisco BTS 10200 Component window shows a list of currently configured dial plans.

Step 4 Select the dial plan that you wish to edit.

Step 5 Click Edit in the row of the dial plan that you wish to edit.

The Change component window appears.

Note The first (blank) row with the checked box indicates that the component identified in the window title was selected for displaying details, editing, or deletion.

Step 6 Make the required changes to the attribute fields.

Step 7 Click OK.

You return to the Cisco BTS 10200 Component window. The edited dial plan appears in the list.

To add a single component, see the "Adding a Component to the Cisco BTS 10200 Configuration" section; to delete a single component, see the "Deleting a Component from the Cisco BTS 10200 Configuration" section.

To add, edit, or delete multiple components with a single operation, see the "Bulk Command Provisioning" section.

Deleting a Component from the Cisco BTS 10200 Configuration

Step 1 from the Domain window, choose the domain > BTS10200s > the Cisco BTS 10200 EMS server.

Step 2 Click Config.

The Cisco BTS 10200 Component Status window opens.

Step 3 In the Configuration tree, choose Office Tables > dial_plan.

The Cisco BTS 10200 Component window shows a list of currently configured dial plans.

Step 4 In the Component:name window, select one or more dial plans to delete.

Step 5 Click Delete.

The Delete component window with the requested deletion appears.

Note The first (blank) row with the checked box indicates that the component identified in the banner title was selected for displaying details, editing, or deletion.

Step 6 Click OK.

To add a single component, see the "Adding a Component to the Cisco BTS 10200 Configuration" section; to edit a single component, see the "Editing a Component in the Cisco BTS 10200 Configuration" section.

To add, edit, or delete multiple components with a single operation, see the "Bulk Command Provisioning" section.

Bulk Command Provisioning

Cisco EPOM allows you to perform add, delete, and edit commands on multiple components with a single operation. You can only perform bulk provisioning commands on the same type of devices. For instance, if a group of subscribers use the same media gateway and subscriber profile, you can add or edit these subscribers by using a single command.

Adding Multiple Components

Step 1 In the ems-server window left pane, click a component.

The Component:name window appears.

Step 2 Click Add.

The Add component window appears.

Step 3 Select the Expand range expression check box.

If you fail to select this check box, you get an error message when you enter a range expression.

Tip For information on acceptable range expressions, move your cursor over the symbol next to the Expand range expression field.

Step 4 In the id field, enter a range expression in square brackets [ ].

For example, to add a group of 10 dial plans with the id prefix dp001_new, enter dp001_new[01-10]. Doing so adds dial plans dp001_new01, dp001_new02, through dp001_new10.

Step 5 Enter information in the remaining attribute fields.

Step 6 Click OK or Apply.

•When you click OK, the component is added and the list of components in the Component:name window appears.

•When you click Apply, the component is added, but you remain in the Add component window for further operations.

You have now added multiple components to the Cisco BTS 10200 EMS network.

Editing Multiple Components

Step 1 In the ems-server window left pane, click a component.

The Component:name window appears.

Step 2 In the Component:name window, select one or more components that you want to edit.

Step 3 Click Edit.

The Change component window appears.

Note The first (blank) row with the checked box indicates that the component in the window title was selected for displaying details, editing, or deletion.

Step 4 Make the required changes to the attribute fields.

Step 5 Click OK.

You have now edited multiple components in the Cisco BTS 10200 EMS network.

Deleting Multiple Components

Step 1 In the ems-server window left pane, click a component.

The Component:name window appears.

Step 2 In the Component:name window, select one or more components that you want to delete.

Step 3 Click Delete.

The Delete component window appears with the requested deletions.

Note The first (blank) row with the checked box indicates that this component was selected for displaying details, editing, or deletion.

Step 4 Click OK.

You have now deleted multiple components in the Cisco BTS 10200 EMS network.

Checking the Status and Controlling Components

You can check the status of a component and you can control its status. For example, you can change status of a Cisco BTS 10200 EMS server from Normal to Forced Active Standby.

Note Exercise care in changing component status.

Step 1 From the Domain window, navigate to the desired Cisco BTS 10200 EMS server.

Step 2 Click Config. The Cisco BTS 10200 Component Status window opens. The Configuration tree appears in the left navigation pane.

Step 3 Navigate to the desired device and click to select it.

Step 4 In the Status window, click Control.

Step 5 From the Component Control window, verify that you have selected the correct component, then select a target_state.

Step 6 Select the desired state. Options depend on the type of component that you selected.

Step 7 Click OK.
