Chapter 2 Preparing AXSM Lines for Communication
General AXSM Provisioning Procedures
Note To change the path width on a line that has already been configured to support a path width of 1, enter
the dnpath -sts <path_id> command to bring down the path, and then enter the cnfpath -sts <path_id>
-width 3. Note that all sub-paths must be in a down state before you can bring down a parent path.
Bringing Up and Configuring SONET Paths
After you split a SONET line into multiple paths, you are ready to bring up the individual paths. You
must bring up the individual path or paths before you can assign a payload to that path and proceed with
further channelization. Once you assign a payload to a path, the path is channelized into separate paths.
The following procedures describe how to bring up and configure the path when a single DS3 path is
created and put in a DOWN state.
To bring up and configure a SONET path, perform the following steps.
Step 1 Establish a configuration session using a user name with GROUP1_GP privileges or higher.
Step 2 Enter the cc command to change to the AXSM-XG card you want to configure.
Step 3 If you have not done so already, channelize the line as described in the previous section, “Channelizing
a SONET Line”
Step 4 Enter the dsppaths -sts command to see the path ID numbers for all STS-1 paths on the current card,
and obtain the path ID for the path you want to channelize.

Step 5 Bring up the path with the uppath -sts <path num> command, as shown in the following example.
M8950_DC.16.AXSMXG.a > uppath -sts 1.1.1
M8950_DC.16.AXSMXG.a > dsppaths -all

Step 6 Enter the cnfpath -sts <path_id> -payload <sts_au_payload_type> command to set the payload type
for the path. The possible payload types for the paths you can create are described in Table 2-9. Be sure
to set the payload to a type that is appropriate to the path type you are channelizing.
The following example shows how to configure a path with a payload:
