Configuring the HWECC solution includes configuring communication data at the near end and creating NEs on the NMS.
Configuration Procedure
| Step | Operation | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Setting basic NE attributes | Changing the NE ID | Required. |
| Setting NE Communication Parameters | Required. |
||
| 2 | Configuring DCC channels | Required. |
|
| 3 | Configuring the inband DCN | Configuring the VLAN ID and Bandwidth Used by an Inband DCN | Perform this operation if the VLAN ID and bandwidth of the inband DCN planned for OptiX equipment do not take their default values. (The default VLAN ID is 4094 and the default bandwidth is 512 kbit/s.) NOTE:
You can set the VLAN ID of the inband DCN based on NEs or ports. |
| Configuring Ports Where Inband DCN Needs to Be Enabled | Required. |
||
| Configuring Access Control | Required when a gateway NE needs to communicate with the NMS through an Ethernet service port. |
||
| Configuring the Priority of Inband DCN Packets | Required when priorities need to be specified for DCN packets. | ||
| 4 | Configuring Extended ECC Communication |
|
|
| 5 | Configuring DCC Transparent Transmission | When the DCN route protection function is affected due to the division of a DCN subnet, this operation enables D1 to D3 bytes to be transmitted over other DCN subnets and therefore ensures proper functioning of the DCN route protection. | |
| 6 | Configuring the Ethernet Network Management Port on an NE | This operation applies only to a gateway NE. |
|
| 7 | Enabling NE Automatic Reporting | Required when an OptiX NE is connected to external equipment through its network management port or NE cascading port and the working mode of the external equipment is not auto-negotiation. |
