Chapter 2 User Control Plane Configuration
2.1Configure an ONS 15454 as User Network Interface–Client (UNI-C) Node
• Refresh Reduction—Check the check box to reduce the processing overhead requirements of refresh
messages.
• Max # of retransmits—Choose the maximum number of times (2 to 5) that unacknowledged
messages will be transmitted.
Step 6 Click Next. The IPCC dialog box appears.
Step 7 Complete one of the following:
• To use an existing IPCC, choose an IPCC from the Existing IPCCs list or check Use Any IPCC. If
you check Use Any IPCC, CTC automatically selects an SDCC IPCC or routed IPCC. Continue with
Step 9.
• To create a new IPCC, click Create. In the Create New IPCC dialog box, complete the following
fields and click OK:
– IPCC Type—Click Routed for out-of-band signaling, or SDCC for in-band signaling.
– SDCC—If the IPCC type is SDCC, choose a slot/port from the SDCC list (this list is disabled
if the IPCC type is Routed). If the IPCC type is routed, this option is not available.
– Local IPCC—Type the IP address (the node IP address is the default).
– Remote IPCC—If the IPCC type is Routed, type the IP address. If the IPCC type is SDCC, this
option is not available.
– LMP Hello Interval—Choose the time interval between link management protocol (LMP) hello
messages sent for this control channel.
– LMP Hello Dead IntervaI—Choose the time interval that the neighbor will wait before timing
out a control channel if no LMP hello message is received. This interval must be at least three
times the LMP Hello Interval value.
– MTU—If the IPCC type is SDCC, type the maximum transmission unit for point-to-point
protocol (PPP) frames. If the IPCC type is routed, this option is not available.
– CRC—If the IPCC type is SDCC, choose the cyclic redundancy code (16- or 32- bit) for
point-to-point protocol (PPP) frames. If the IPCC type is routed, this option is not available.
– Port State—If the IPCC type is SDCC, click Set to IS to place the port in service. If the IPCC
type is routed, this option is not available.
Step 8 From the Existing IPCCs list, choose an IPCC.
Step 9 Click Next. The UCP Interface Attributes dialog box appears.
Step 10 On the UCP Interface Attributes dialog box, complete the following fields to set the UNI-C interface
attributes:
• UCP Interface—Choose the slot/port from the drop-down list. If the IPCC type is SDCC, the IPCC
is the same slot/port as the UCP interface.
• Local Interface ID—If the IPCC type is Routed, type the local node ID. (This field is disabled if the
IPCC type is SDCC.)
• Remote Interface ID—If the IPCC type is Routed, type the neighbor interface ID in the Remote
Interface ID field. (This field is disabled when Neighbor Discovery is enabled.)
• Core Network ID—Type a numerical identifier (1 through 255) to identify the core transport
network.
• TNA Address—Choose the transport network address (TNA) interface:
– IP version 4—A unique 32-bit identifier used to address hosts on the Internet
– IP version 6—The “next generation” protocol designed by the IETF to replace IPv4
