Provisioning the EtherLoop modem database
The process of provisioning the EtherLoop modem database can be divided
into the following major tasks:
• Configure the Modex Daemon interface
• Provision managed shelves (if any)
• Discover EtherLoop CO and CPE modems
• Manually provision any required site-specific information.
The following sections and procedure describe the requirements for
performing each of these tasks.
Modex Daemon ETH 0 / ETH 1 interface configuration
The Modex Daemon can process EtherLoop modem commands and requests
over either the ETH 0 or the ETH 1 interface (not both). In a YesWare-VBN
system, the Modex Daemon directs the processes over the ETH 1 interface. In
a StormTracker-Site Manager OAM&P system, the Modex daemon directs the
processes over the ETH 0 interface.
The Modex Daemon Configure operation contains a pull-down menu to
change the daemon setting to either ETH 0 or ETH 1.
Figure 5-1 shows the "Configuration parameters: modex" dialog launched by
clicking the Configure operation link.
