7.2.4 Provisioning Strategies
The main tasks involved in provisioning the iMG/RG are:
1. Setting up the DHCP configuration. This is done on DHCP server(s) and iMAPs, and is done at initial iMAP installation.
2. Creating Profiles. This is done upon initial setup of the iMAPs that participate in the Access Island.
Note: Items 1 and 2 only need to be done once. The remaining tasks are done for each customer using an iMG/RG.
3. Provisioning the Triple Play form
4. Installing the RG
5. Applying power to the RG and waiting for key indicators (lights) for when the RG is configured and running (initial and
reboot sequence)
6. Attaching the customer devices
7. Setting up Custom Views to help in viewing the RG configuration.
8. Updating of configuration (usually done through AlliedView NMS applications)
The order of these tasks depends on which overall strategy the network administrator wishes to follow:
1. Fill in the Triple Play form before applying power to the RG - With this strategy, the correct configuration of the RG and
its connection to the iMAP device happens when power to the RG is applied. These is the step order listed above. This is
the most common sequence for a new customer.
2. Fill in the Triple Play form after the RGs have been plugged in - With this strategy, the RGs are correctly configured as
the Triple Play form for each port is filled out and then applied, either immediately or on a schedule.
3. Use the new configuration tasks to re-engineer a previously installed RG. This should always be done when the service
“mix” is being changed, and so the relevant Profiles can be associated with the RG. However, even if the services remain
the same, using the AlliedView NMS to reconfigure the RG is recommended, since it incorporates the RG into the same
