ECC Management

In this user interface, you can set extended ECC protocol to enable communication between NEs to be through Ethernet ports. You can specify the extended mode and the port used for extended ECC.

Navigation Path

In the NE Explorer, select Communication > ECC Management from the Function Tree. The Ethernet Extended ECC tab is displayed in the right pane.

NOTE:

ECCs need to be expanded when one GNE connects to more than 50 non-gateway NEs.

Guideline

In the ECC Management window, change the value of Extended ECC Mode from Specified mode to Autosensing mode as follows:

When Extended ECC Mode is Specified mode, click Clear Server.
The Warning dialog box is displayed indicating that the NE communication will be temporarily interrupted.
Click OK. Server port configurations are cleared.
Click Clear Client.
The Warning dialog box is displayed indicating that the NE communication will be temporarily interrupted.
Click OK. Client port configurations are cleared.
Set Extended ECC Mode to Autosensing mode.
Click Apply.
The Warning dialog box is displayed indicating that the NE communication will be temporarily interrupted.
Click OK.
The Result dialog box is displayed indicating that the mode has been successfully changed.
Click Close.

Parameters

Field		Value	Description
Extended ECC Mode		Auto mode, Specified mode, Autosensing mode	Auto mode: Establish an extended ECC connection automatically. Though this mode is convenient, extra connections will be established and the resource availability is low. It is recommended when there are less than four NEs. No extended ECC can be established automatically unless both the NEs between which an extended ECC is to be established are set to the automatic mode. Specified mode: Specifies that an extended ECC is to be established between the server and the client. The connection is highly reliable and the bandwidth availability is high. This mode is usually used to establish an extended ECC connection. Autosensing mode: The extended ECC is disabled by default. If the NE is connected to NEs of earlier versions, the extended ECC is established automatically. For an NE, the three modes cannot be used at the same time to extend ECC.
Set Server	IP Address	0.0.0.0	IP address of the NE. It cannot be modified.
Set Server	Port	1601 to 1699 Default: 1601	Specifies the port of the current NE that is used for extended ECC communication.
Set Client	Opposite IP Address	For example: 204.204.204.204	Specifies the IP address of the opposite NE.
Set Client	Port	1601 to 1699 Default: 1601	Specifies the port of the opposite NE that is used for extended ECC communication. The ports used at the two NEs must be the consistent.
