5.1 5620 SAM component configuration overview
The 5620 SAM may require a configuration change after it is installed to meet your
specific operational requirements. The procedures in this chapter change the default
system-wide behavior of 5620 SAM settings or functional preferences. The
procedures in this chapter describe how to perform configuration changes on the
following 5620 SAM components:
• 5620 SAM software and licenses
• System components
• Network management functions
• 5620 SAM system-wide alarm settings
• System preferences
5.2 Changing 5620 SAM default text fields and ID ranges
You can create format and range policies to change the default number and format
of characters used for text fields and the ID ranges used on the 5620 SAM GUI.
Format and range policies
Format policies manage how services, policies, LSPs, and L2 and L3 access
interfaces are named and described. Range policies manage the ID numbers that are
assigned to services, policies, LSPs, and L2 and L3 access interfaces. For example,
you can configure a range policy to specify a range of 200 and 499 for all IDs for a
service. You can configure a format policy to specify that service names do not
exceed 10 characters. The object creation form indicates when a range or format
policy is in effect for an object.
Format and range policies are not distributed to NEs. The format and range policies
apply only to GUI creation of services, policies, LSPs, and L2 and L3 access
interfaces. You cannot configure format and range policies when the services, LSPs,
and L2 and L3 access interfaces are created using templates. However, the
5620 SAM allows an operator to use preconfigured examples of LSPs and services
that have format and range policies applied to them. The examples can be used to
create a template. For information about creating templates from a preconfigured
example, see “Format and range policies configuration of services and LSPs using
templates” in the 5620 SAM Scripts and Templates Developer Guide.
Note 1 — You can also change the configuration of a 5620 SAM
component using the appropriate 5620 SAM installation and
configuration utility. Contact Alcatel-Lucent before you attempt to
modify a component using the utility.
Note 2 — You can use the 5620 SAM auto-client update function to
reconfigure multiple GUI clients using one central configuration. See
“Automated 5620 SAM client installation, upgrade, and
configuration” in the 5620 SAM | 5650 CPAM Installation and
Upgrade Guide for information about the function, and Procedure 5-7
for information about using the function to update multiple clients.
