Avaya 03-300430 User Manual

The circuit packs in the switch node carrier will not function properly unless administration is 
performed first. For example, without fiber link administration, phone calls cannot be made 
through the CSS, CSS circuit packs will not be inserted, and maintenance software cannot test 
the CSS circuit packs.

For an unduplicated PNC configuration, perform the following administration, in this order, 
before inserting SNIs:

1. Cabinet Administration: administer the switch node carriers into the proper cabinets. When 

the screen is submitted, switch node numbers are assigned to the carriers. Use list 
cabinet to see the switch node numbers for the carriers.

2. Circuit Pack Administration: Every board in the switch node carriers must be administered.

3. Fiber-Link Administration: Use add fiber-link to administer the fibers between the 

TN570s and the TN573 (or TN573 to TN573), and to add a DS1C converter complex to a 
fiber link.

For a duplicated PNC configuration, perform the following administration, in this order, before 
inserting SNIs:

1. Obtain a License File to activate PNC duplication.

2. Cabinet Administration: Administer the switch node carriers and duplicate switch node 

carriers into the proper cabinets. When this screen is submitted, switch node numbers are 
assigned to the carriers. Use list cabinet to see the switch node numbers for the 

carriers.

3. Circuit Pack Administration: Every board in the switch node carriers must be administered.

4. Fiber-Link Administration: Use add fiber-link to administer the fibers between the 

TN570s and the TN573 (or TN573 to TN573), and to add a DS1C converter complex to a 
fiber link. If the system is being changed from an unduplicated to a duplicated PNC 
configuration, use change fiber-link to administer the b-pnc fiber-link endpoints on the 

existing fiber links.

5. Use change system-parameters duplication to administer PNC duplication.
