When there are too many NEs, the concurrent conference calls affect the quality of the conversation. You can assign the subnet number to optical ports, where the conference calls are configured, to allocate the NEs to different orderwire subnets. You can make the conference calls between NEs that are associated with the same orderwire subnet.
Background
Set the length of the subnet number before dividing the orderwire subnet, which can be of one or two digits. Then configure the subnet number. You can obtain the subnet conference call number by overlaying the preceding digits of the conference call number by subnet number. For example, if the conference call number is 999 and the subnet number is 1, the subnet conference call number of the subnet 1 is 199.
The optical interfaces with the same subnet number belong to the same orderwire subnet.
The different optical interfaces on each NE can belong to different orderwire subnets. Hence, an NE can belong to several orderwire subnet at the same time.
Procedure
- In the NE Explorer, click the NE and choose from the Function Tree.
- Optional: Click the Auxiliary tab and set Subnet NO. Length.
NOTE: When the Subnet NO. Length is set to 1, the Subnet of the Optical Interface Subnet No. is in the range of 0 to 9. When the Subnet NO. Length is set to 2, the Subnet of the Optical Interface Subnet No. is in the range of 0 and 10 to 99.
- Click the Optical Interface Subnet No. tab.
- Click Query to query information from the NE.
- Select an optical port where conference calls are configured, and click the subnet field and enter a subnet number.
NOTE:
The optical ports that have the same subnet number belong to the same orderwire subnet.
- Click Apply.
