Creating an NE Manually

To manage an NE, you need to create the NE on the U2000 Web LCT first. This topic describes how to create an NE manually.

Prerequisites

The NE must access the computer on which the Web LCT is installed.

The communication between the Web LCT and the NEs must be normal.

The NE ID must be known.

The U2000 Web LCT needs to carry VLAN IDs when communicating with OptiX RTN 310 NEs. Therefore, the computer where the U2000 Web LCT is installed must be configured before OptiX RTN 310 NEs are created. If the NIC supports VLAN IDs in the transmitted packets, enable the desired network service. If the NIC does not support VLAN IDs in the transmitted packets, use the driver provided by the U2000 Web LCT for configuration. For details, see Configuring the U2000 Web LCT to Carry VLAN IDs in the Transmitted Packets.

Context

You can create an NE by adding the NE manually. In addition, you can create an NE by searching for the NE. If the NE ID is not known during the initial NE configuration, you can create the NE by searching for the NE and adding the NE.

Procedure

In NE List, click Add NE.
The Add NE dialog box is displayed.

NOTE:
You can select an NE type from the NE Type drop-down list. When creating an RTN NE (NA), select North America RTN from the drop-down list.
Set the parameters in the Add NE dialog box.
Click OK.
Then, the NE is added to the NE list successfully.

Follow-up Procedure

To prevent unauthorized operations on a new NE, change the default password for the NE user as soon as possible and subsequently change the non-default password at regular intervals.
