6.17.4 Provisioning one NTE8 Circuit
Selecting from the main menu Tools -> Customer Management -> Add NTE DS1 Customer brings up the Provision New NTE-
DS1 Port Form. This is the form where the main task for Provisioning the NTE8 endpoints are done.
Note: You can also right click on the device and select Provision -> Port Management, and then on the Port Management form
select an unprovisioned NTE8 port and click on Provision new Customer/Port. Note however that with these steps the device
and port are already filled in and uneditable.
The device/ports available are the discovered DS1 ports in the managed network that are available for provisioning.
Following are important points when filling out this form:
• You must input a Customer ID. When provisioning dual endpoints, this ID will be applied to both endpoints in the Port
Inventory table. This allows immediate recognition of which ports are included in the dual configuration. The name
should be descriptive so that users know this is part of a dual endpoint configuration.
• The Port Profiles used for each endpoint do not have to match, but care must be taken to ensure that the values are
compatible.
• When the user selects an MLPPP instance for the near-end and is provisioning the MLPPP for the first time, the user
selects an MLPPP that is EMPTY (No PPP members) and NEW (not yet created). (Adding a link to an already existing
MLPPP is covered in the next subsection.)
• To provision the far end port, the user selects an appropriate device and port, and must select the MLPPP that can exist
on the same card as the port. The example shows what is most common, with the 21.0 port being provisioned with the
lowest number MLPPP available, 21.8.
