AlliedView NMS Administration Guide
All have a general tab and allow for Enable, Disable, Restart, and Run Diags. Note that since these cards provide a high-
bandwidth interface usually involving connections to upstream devices, care should be taken before disabling this cardtype.
5.5.26 GE24 Cards (GE24SFP, GE24POE, GE24RJ, GE24BX)
At the card level, all of the Card Details Forms have similar functions, with the GE24SFP, GE24POE, and GE24RJ for the
SBx3112 and the GE24BX for the iMAP. Refer to product documentation for details.
Note: The GE24POE provides the Power over Ethernet service and is described in 5.5.24. The GE24RJ is the same as the GE24POE
but does not provide POE service
5.6 Port Management (iMAP Devices)
This application for the iMAP devices allows the user to view, in a table format, the configuration of the device and then
provision/configure its ports. Moreover, this table is updated real-time as changes occur to the ports.
Note: Controlling the port configuration involves understanding how provisioning data works in the iMAP devices, so an overview of
provisioning data is given in 5.5.23.
Note: Throughout this Section, the Port Management Forms have the following common buttons:
• Recent Commands... - This brings up the Recent Commands window, a listing of the CLI commands and responses for
the previous operation in the Port Management application. The user has the option to copy this to a Clipboard and then
paste it into another file for record keeping.
• Close - This closes the Application.
• Help - This brings up the context-sensitive help file.
For complete information about port management and statistics, refer to the iMAP User Guide.
5.6.1 Accessing the Port Management Application
To access the Port Management application, right-click the device, and then select Provision -> Port Management. (You can also
select the device. Operations appears on the main menu and the pull-down menus are the same, so choose Provision -> Port
Management).
Figure 5-118 shows the Port Management window for a iMAP 9700. Table 5-26 describes the buttons and fields that are
displayed.
Note: Provisioning ports can involve defining the attributes of a single port or more than one port. With the CES8 and NTE8 card,
two ports are provisioned on the same form when configuring the two endpoints of a DS1/E1 connection. Provisioning dual
DS1/E1 ports is explained in more detail in 6.16 and 6.17. Also, the Triple Play form can involve different port types. Refer to
the next Note.
Note: Although many types of ports can be provisioned, they are all done through the two forms that define the services for a port,
the Provision New Triple Play Customer Form, and the Provision New DS1/E1 Port Form, which can apply to the CES8 or the
NTE8. This section explains these form and their fields; for an overview of the panels and fields that are used for various
services, refer to 6.15.
Note: For the ADSL48A card, the port numbers go from 0 to 47, and the card number remains at the lower slot number for ports
24 to 47.
Note: In the Port Management window, an AtmBond shows up as type “ATMBOND”. The bonded port does not appear in this
window.
Note: In the EE version, provisioning of customer ports is not allowed. Refer to 6.10.17.
