SNI Administration and SNI Board Insertion
SNI-BD (SNI Circuit Pack)
The circuit packs in the switch node carrier will not function properly unless administration is
performed first. For example, without fiber link administration, phone calls cot be made through
the CSS, CSS circuit packs will not be inserted, and maintenance software cot test the CSS
circuit packs.
For an unduplicated PNC configuration, perform the following administration, in this order,
before inserting SNIs:
1. Cabinet Administration: administer the switch node carriers into the proper cabinets. When
the screen is submitted, switch node numbers are assigned to the carriers. Use list
cabinet to see the switch node numbers for the carriers.
2. Circuit Pack Administration: Every board in the switch node carriers must be administered.
3. Fiber-Link Administration: Use add fiber-link to administer the fibers between the
TN570s and the TN573 (or TN573 to TN573), and to add a DS1C converter complex to a
fiber link.
For a duplicated PNC configuration, perform the following administration, in this order, before
inserting SNIs:
1. Obtain a License File to activate PNC duplication.
2. Cabinet Administration: Administer the switch node carriers and duplicate switch node
carriers into the proper cabinets. When this screen is submitted, switch node numbers are
assigned to the carriers. Use list cabinet to see the switch node numbers for the
carriers.
3. Circuit Pack Administration: Every board in the switch node carriers must be administered.
4. Fiber-Link Administration: Use add fiber-link to administer the fibers between the
TN570s and the TN573 (or TN573 to TN573), and to add a DS1C converter complex to a
fiber link. If the system is being changed from an unduplicated to a duplicated PNC
configuration, use change fiber-link to administer the b-pnc fiber-link endpoints on
the existing fiber links.
5. Use change system-parameters duplication to administer PNC duplication.
