6.17.6 Viewing Provisioning Results - Port Inventory Table
To see the results of the dual endpoint provisioning, go to the Port Inventory window and sort on the Customer ID. The
two ports are placed together since they share the same Customer ID. Refer to the following figure.
Note: The user can also go to the Port Management window for the device and sort on Customer ID.
FIGURE 6-222 Viewing Dual Endpoints on Port Management - Same Customer ID on Different Devices
This shows that ports 14.0 and 21.0 are the endpoints of one pair (Customer ID NTE_DS1_0) and ports 14.1 and 21.1 are
the endpoints of the other pair (Customer ID NTE_DS1_1). By double-clicking on either of these rows, the DS1 Port
Management tabbed form appears, with the selected port on the left. One can then view/modify the details of the
configuration.
Note: In this tabbed form, it is possible to change the attributes of the endpoints, However, in most cases the user should plan the
dual endpoints so that configuration is easy and less prone to error.

6.17.7.1 DS1 Port Tab
The following figure shows the Port Management form that appears when the user double-clicks on port 14.0 in the Port
Inventory Form.
The port 14.0 is on the left, since that is the row that was selected; if the user selected 21.0 on the other device, port 21.0
would appear on the left.
The user can change attributes that are part of the Profile, but after clicking on Modify the user would see the Profile with an
‘*” next to it, meaning the Profile is out-of-sync. (This would also show up in the port inventory table.) The user would need
to re-apply the profile make the ‘*’ disappear.
The user can change the Description (Customer ID), but that would disassociate the two endpoints.
Note: The DS1 tab shows only the implicit connection between the endpoints; it is the PPP tab that explicitly ties the two endpoints
together, discussed below.
