Configuring Network Services NTE8 Dual Circuit Provisioning

1. Create a PPP circuit as listed above, up to step 7.
2. Select an MLPPP Interface to use for the bundle.
Note: The selection is constrained by MLPPP bundle consistency on both ends; once a PPP is associated with an MLPPP, the peer PPP
must be associated with the peer MLPPP. This will become clear in the examples.
6.17.2 Create/Provision NTE8 cards to Support DS1 Ports (Different Devices)
To create the cards (if this hasn’t been done already), right click on the device and select Provision -> Card Management, which
brings up the Card Management Form. Find the Slot (in this case 14) that is not provisioned, and select Create Card. Select
the Profile as AutoProv if you wish the card to use the load that is in the AutoProv profile, the Admin State as UP (assuming
you want the card to go into service), and the Ports Type as DS1. (If not explicitly chosen, DS1 is the default.) Click on
Create, and the card status will change in the Card Management form to a Card Type of NTE8.
Note: The card timing is initially Internal, as the only item in the pull-down. However, a DS1 port could be created that is connected
to a system-wide, external timing source (with its timing source set to SELF). The user could then change the timing source for
the card to that DS1 port.At this point you can download any NTE8 files if the Profile was set to Manually Provisioned.
Note: At this point, the card attribute Ports Type for the General Tab can be changed, but the card would need to be disabled, and
there is a warning about the need to disable the card. The Profile can also be changed, and there is a warning that such a
change will destroy existing provisioning data.
6.17.3 Create DS1 Profile
When a DS1 port is provisioned, a DS1 profile must already exist so it can be associated with the DS1 port. An overview of
Profiles is in 6.10. In this example a profile called NTE_ds1_profile is created. The following figures show the profile has
already been created and can be viewed in the Profile table by double-clicking on the profile row.
Note: When a QoS Policy is applied to a DS1 port in the NTE8 configuration, it is actually applied to the ETH interface, which may
contain one or more DS1/E1 interfaces. If different policies are applied to the multiple DS1s/E1s, the last policy applied will
be applied to the ETH interface and therefore to all the DS1s/E1s.
