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 SDH Paths

After you split an SDH 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

To bring up and configure a SDH 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

an SDH Line”

Step 4 Enter the dsppaths -sts command to see the path ID numbers for all STS-1/STM-0 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:

M8950_DC.16.AXSMXG.a > cnfpath -sts 1.1.1 -payload atm
