1. View Only
• The Port Management window excludes the Provision and De-Provision buttons.
• The Port Management Details form excludes the fields/buttons that allow values or states to be changed.

Control of these versions is though the NMS Security Manager settings. Refer to Section 4.
Description
(Customer ID)
An ID that can be given to uniquely identify the port. In most cases, the subscriber’s telephone
number is used. For rules on DS1/E1 customer IDs, refer to 6.16.
Note: A customer ID should be a unique string and should apply to one customer line;
creating multiple customers with the same Customer ID can make provisioning
Triple Play confusing and may create additional (excessive) tabs on the GUI forms.
Note: Also, do not use the * character in the Customer ID, since it will not be properly
handled during any task involving a search.
Status The status of the port that follows form the boolean AND of the Administrative State and
Operational State (only if both are UP is the Status UP)
Provision New
Customer/Port
Enabled after a port with no Customer ID is selected, it invokes the Provision Port form.
Refer to the Note below.
De-Provision
Customer/Port

OFFLINE. This operation also sets the port back to the AutoProv settings, removes any
classifiers on the port, removes VCs 1-3 from the port, and sets the VLAN back to Untagged:1
Tagged None. Refer to the Note below.
View/Modify Details Enabled when a port is selected, it invokes the Port Management Details form. Refer to the
