5.5.27 GE24 Cards (GE24SFP, GE24POE, GE24RJ, GE24BX)
At the card level, all of the Card Details Forms have similar functions, with the GE24SFP, GE24POE, and GE24RJ for the
SBx3112 and the GE24BX for the iMAP. Refer to product documentation for details.
Note: The GE24POE provides the Power over Ethernet service and is described in 5.5.25. The GE24RJ is the
same as the GE24POE but does not provide POE service
5.6 Port Management (iMAP Devices)
5.6.1 Overview
This application for the iMAP devices allows the user to view, in a table format, the configuration of the device and then provi-
sion/configure its ports. Moreover, this table is updated real-time as changes occur to the ports.
Note: Controlling the port configuration involves understanding how provisioning data works in the iMAP devices,
so an overview of provisioning data is given in 5.5.24.
Note: Throughout this Section, the Port Management Forms have the following common buttons:
• Recent Commands... - This brings up the Recent Commands window, a listing of the CLI commands and responses for the
previous operation in the Port Management application. The user has the option to copy this to a Clipboard and then paste it
into another file for record keeping.
• Close - This closes the Application.
• Help - This brings up the context-sensitive help file.
For complete information about port management and statistics, refer to the iMAP User Guide.
5.6.2 Accessing the Port Management Application
To access the Port Management application, right-click the device, and then select Provision -> Port Management. (You can
also select the device. Operations appears on the main menu and the pull-down menus are the same, so choose Provision ->
Port Management).
Figure 5-114 shows the Port Management window for a iMAP 9700. Table 5-26 describes the buttons and fields that are dis-
played.
Note: Provisioning ports can involve defining the attributes of a single port or more than one port. With the CES8
and NTE8 card, two ports are provisioned on the same form when configuring the two endpoints of a DS1/
E1 connection. Provisioning dual DS1/E1 ports is explained in more detail in 6.16 and 6.17. Also, the Triple
Play form can involve different port types. Refer to the next Note.
Note: Although many types of ports can be provisioned, they are all done through the two forms that define the
services for a port, the Provision New Triple Play Customer Form, and the Provision New DS1/E1 Port
Form, which can apply to the CES8 or the NTE8. This section explains these form and their fields; for an
overview of the panels and fields that are used for various services, refer to 6.15.
Note: For the ADSL48A card, the port numbers go from 0 to 47, and the card number remains at the lower slot
number for ports 24 to 47.
Note: In the Port Management window, an AtmBond shows up as type “ATMBOND”. The bonded port does not
appear in this window.
Note: In the EE version, provisioning of customer ports is not allowed. Refer to 6.10.17.
