Creating NEs

Refer to Managing RTN NEs > Creating NEs, Links, and Topology Subnets > Creating a Single NE and

Managing RTN NEs > Creating NEs, Links, and Topology Subnets > Creating NEs in Batches.

This is an NE feature that does not involve boards.

You can create NEs in two ways: manually create a single NE or create NEs in batches.

Configuring NE data

Refer to Managing RTN NEs > Creating NEs, Links, and Topology Subnets > Configuring NE Data and

Managing RTN NEs > Creating NEs, Links, and Topology Subnets > Checking Board Parameters.

This is an NE feature that does not involve boards.
  • After being created, NEs are still in unconfigured state. NEs can be managed only after you configure them.
  • NE configurations take effect only after they are loaded.

Creating links

Refer to Managing RTN NEs > Creating NEs, Links, and Topology Subnets > Creating Links.

This is a network feature that does not involve boards.

When using the U2000 Web LCT to configure and manage networks, you need to create links between different topology objects. Different scenarios use different modes to create fibers.

Creating topology subnets

Refer to Managing RTN NEs > Creating NEs, Links, and Topology Subnets > Creating a Topology Subnet.

This is a network feature that does not involve boards.

You can create a topology subnet based on attributes such as NE types and region.
