5.11.4.2 Physically disconnect/reconnect the ADSL cables
The user now disconnects the ADSL cable(s) and connects them to the ADSL 48 card.
Note: To connect the ADSL cables to another card, the user may need to change the cabling facilities. Also note that the cable type
is probably the same, but if the user were going from an ADSL16 card to an ADSL24/48 card, the connections would have to
be changed and a different cable type used. Refer to the Component Specification on ADSL cabling types.
The port is now active and is physically connected to the iMG/RG, but the iMG/RG must renew its IP address (if assigned
using DHCP) to update DHCP-based filtering on the iMAP port.
5.11.4.3 Force the iMG to perform DHCP Update
In the Task Details panel, select the appropriate iMG/RGs, and then click on the Update DHCP Client button. As the iMG/
RGs are updated, the Status changes to “DHCP Updated.”
Note: The Update DHCP Client process will fail if the iMG/RG is not powered up and VLAN IP connectivity is lost. Refer to the Note
in 5.11.5.1.
5.11.4.4 Copy over the iMG attributes
Returning to the Task Details Form, the user selects the appropriate ports and selects Complete. This will update the
database with the rest of the iMG/RG attributes, and deprovision the source port.
5.11.4.5 View the Original Ports
Returning to the Port Management Panel, the user can see that the table has the original ports with no customer ID and a
status of Down. The user now has the option of re-provisioning the ports for another interface or removing the card (once
all ports have been de-provisioned and the card has been destroyed). Refer to the following figure.
