Pre-provision Future Customer (Provision iMAP Port, no Services) Installation Procedures
7-169
AlliedView NMS Administration Guide (Provisioning the iMG/RG)
• If the user moves an already provisioned iMG/RG from one iMAP port to another in the same Access Island, the Allied-
View will treat the iMG/RG as new hardware and will de provision and re-provision the RG, using data for that new port.
• If the user moves the already provisioned iMG/RG from one iMAP port to another in a different Access Island, the
AlliedView NMS won’t see the RG because it is not the correct RGMgmt VLAN (and IP address) for that Access Island.
In this scenario, the user should telnet to the iMG/RG before removing the iMG/RG and set the iMG/RG back to its fac-
tory settings. Then, when moving the iMG/RG to the new port in the different Access Island, DHCP discovery will start
with the RG’s default VLAN and go through the process of finding and then using the RGMgmt VLAN for that new
Access Island.
7.10.3 Pre-provision Future Customer (Provision iMAP Port, no Services)
7.10.3.1 When to use this Procedure
• The administrator wishes to provision the iMAP port with the iMG/RG, and not provision any specific services. (An
example would be for a vacant residence.)
• Services will be added later.
7.10.3.2 Pre-requisite Procedures
Before performing this procedure, the administrator should have already done the following:
• Have an iMG/RG General Profile with a name such as “DVLK-AI01-Vacant” and include scoping so that when it is used
only iMAPs from AI01 are accessible. Refer to Figure 7-129, Figure 7-130, and Figure 7-131.
Note: For Open Access, the Profile Name could be “DVLK-Vacant” since the Access Island number is not used
as part of Scoping.
• Have a port profile available that reflects the type of port and the capabilities desired, such as “DVLK-AI01-100Mbps”.
Note: In this profile, the VLAN Configuration is not included.
• Have a customer ID ready that reflects administrative naming conventions for this type of provisioning. An appropriate
ID would be the residence address.
7.10.3.3 Pre-provision the Customer
Using the sample names listed above, the following steps are performed:
1. Bring up the Provision New Triple Play Customer Form using one of these methods:
• From the main AlliedView NMS menu, select Tools -> Customer Management -> Add New Triple Play Customer.
• For an iMAP icon, select Provision -> Port Management. From the Port Management Form select the port for the
work order, which will have no Customer ID, and click Provision New Customer/Port. (An already provisioned
port should always have a Customer ID.)
• From the port table in Network Inventory, right-click the port from the work order and select Provision New Cus-
tomer/Port.
2. In the Provision New Triple Play Customer Form, enter a Customer ID, in this example the residence address.
3. Click on Add Customer Info to add the additional text.
4. Select the iMG/RG General Profile, in this case “DVLK-AI01-Vacant”. Because of scoping, only those devices from
Access Island 1 are available.
5. Enter a port Profile. Only those port profiles relevant for the type of port selected are available.
6. Review the filled out form, as shown in Figure 7-132.
