5.7.6.9 Example Procedure - Provisioning
At an NMS client on the network, the Comtrend is provisioned as follows:
1. Bring up the Triple Play form for Bonded ports, as explained in 5.6.2.3. Refer to Figure 5-224.
2. For the Comtrend device, you must enter a Description (Customer ID) of 15 characters or less. If more than 15
characters are used, the iMAP ADSL bond port will use the entire string, but the Comtrend CPE SysContact will be
truncated to15 characters, resulting in more complex customer management.
3. For the Comtrend device, you must fill in the MAC address, found at the bottom of the Comtrend.
4. Do not use the Derived Voice-related fields, since derived voice will not be managed by the NMS (refer to 5.7.6.3). Note:
You may provision a POTS line.
5. Click on Provision. The Comtrend device is added to the iMG/RG table, but the IP address remains 0.0.0.0 until the
Comtrend device is physically connected to the network.
FIGURE 5-224 Triple Play Form for Comtrend Device
At the subscriber premises, the subscriber:
1. Plugs in the dual ADSL connection.
2. Powers up the Comtrend.
The Comtrend boots up twice, first using the configuration parameters that were loaded during the staging process, and
then the configuration downloaded by the NMS server. (This should take approximately five minutes.)
3. Connects the video and data devices. As the devices connect to the network, they come up and begin passing data.
Back at the NMS, on the iMG/RG table, the columns have provisioning information filled in, except for the upstream port, as
shown in Figure 5-225.
