6.11 (OPTIONAL) CONFIGURING MULTI-HOST SYSTEMS
FOR
MANUAL MODE
When the Prism system is set to Automated linking mode, you establish a link in the
Configuration Details
window by selecting the Host DART to link to and then clicking
Apply
(see “Link a Remote DART to a Host DART” on page 162). The link is then
established on both the Host and Remote ends, using the fiber and the timeslots that
are automatically selected by the FlexWave EMS. The Remote DART also automatically
adopts the Host DART's pass band and diversity setting.
Multi-Host systems must be set to Manual linking mode so each side of the link (Host
and Remote) can be established independently. The Network Administrator must also
manually specify the fiber, timeslots, pass band, and diversity status for each end.
There is no system crosscheck to validate the selections—so the setup described in
this section should be performed only by an administrator who is very familiar with
the concepts involved.

column, click on the

link for the DART to be
configured.
You can only switch between the Automated and Manual modes when there are no active
links in the syst
em. Once a link is established the mode is locked and selections in the
Linking Mode list are disable
d. All active links must be unlinked to enable the selections
in the Linking Mode list.
