After an NE is successfully created, it is not configured.
You need to configure the NE first and then the Web LCT can manage
and operate the NE.
Creating NEs
Each actual OptiX series equipment is represented as an NE on the Web LCT. Before the Web LCT manages the actual equipment, you need to create the corresponding NEs on the Web LCT. There are two ways of creating NEs: creating a single NE (including a single shelf) and creating NEs in batches. When you need to create a large number of NEs, for example, during deployment, it is recommended to create NEs in batches. When you need to create just a few NEs, it is recommended to create the NEs one by one. In special situations, for example, when the communication between the Web LCT and the NE is interrupted, you can only choose the mode of creating a single NE.
Configuring Master/Slave Subrack When multiple subracks are required for an NE, the master/slave subrack mode must be adopted for centralized management. In this mode, multiple subracks are displayed as one NE in the Web LCT. The Web LCT supports the adding, deletion, and modification of slave subracks, and query of slave subrack status.
Creating Fibers
You must create fibers on a per-NE basis before you configure services. The source and sink boards of the fibers can be in different shelves, but must be within the same NE.
Adding Boards
When manually configuring the NE data, you need to add boards on the NE Panel. You can either add the physical boards that actually operate on the NE or the logical boards that do not exist on the actual equipment.
Adding Ports Client-side ports and line-side ports of the OTU board on the NG WDM equipment support color light and grey light. You need to add different ports on the Web LCT according to the SFP optical module used on the equipment.
Modifying NEs
You can modify the wrong settings when creating the NEs on the Web LCT. For example, modify the NE Name, delete the board and so on.
