Parameters

Field	Value	Description
No.	Example: 1	Sets the serial number of an NE.
NE Name	Example: NE182	Sets the NE name.
Idle Boards	Enable Power Saving, Disable Power Saving	Sets the status of the power-saving switch of logical boards that are configured on NEs but not on the Web LCT.
Idle Lower Order Cross-Connect Board	Enable Power Saving, Disable Power Saving	Sets the status of the power-saving switch of services that are not configured with lower order cross-connections (including VC12 and VC3) in the cross-connect boards.
Idle Ports	Enable Power Saving, Disable Power Saving	Sets the status of the power-saving switch for an idle port.
Idle Cross-Connect Bus	Enable Power Saving, Disable Power Saving	Displays the power-saving status of the idle cross-connect bus of an NE. This parameter can be queried only.
Standby Cross-Connect Board	Hot Standby, Warm Standby	Sets the standby mode of the standby cross-connect board. Hot standby: The standby cross-connect board backs up the data on the active cross-connect board in real time. This standby mode, however, has relatively high power consumption. Warm standby: The standby cross-connect board backs up the data on the active cross-connect board only when the active board is faulty. This standby mode, however, has relatively low power consumption.
Power-Saving Mode	Normal mode, Power-Saving mode, Enhanced power-saving mode	Indicates the power-saving mode of the NE.

NOTE:

In the case of different boards on different equipment, different parameters are supported. According to the corresponding user interface of the NMS, the GUI Reference table lists the whole set of parameters in this user interface of the NMS.
