6.10.3 Viewing and Modifying Profiles
Once the profiles are created, they can be viewed by selecting the Profile node under the Network Data Services object, as
shown in the following figure.
FIGURE 6-51 Viewing the List of Profiles (includes POTS24 Card Profiles)
The profiles can be viewed like other attributes, so they can be sorted, scrolled, and have a search function.
To view or modify the details of the profile, the user can right click the profile and select View Profile, or double-click the
profile. The Modify Profile Form appears, and when the user changes any parameter the Modify button is activated.
Note: At this point, the profiles have not been deployed, and so changing any values has no effect on what parameter values are
actually used on any devices or ports. The relationship between deployed profiles and the changing of parameter values is
discussed later.
Note: Creating and deploying profiles for the EPON and ONU requires particular attention since the user must understand the
attributes of the EPON and ONU interface policies.
6.10.4 Deleting a Profile
The user can delete a profile if it is not being used (deployed) on a device or port. To delete a profile, right click on the
profile and select Delete Profile. A confirmation window confirms the deletion.
Note: This operation will fail if there are any objects (devices or ports) in the network that are currently using one of the profiles to
be deleted. If there are objects currently using one of the profiles, the user can apply some other Profile (such as a default
profile) to those objects and then successfully delete the profile.
