6-2 EtherLoop system provisioning
Software Release 2.30 YesWare Applications User’s Guide 08-01016-01
Enhanced Modem Billing provisioning requirements
The major tasks required to provision an Enhanced Modem Billing
configuration include the following:
1 Provision the EtherLoop CO modem database.
2 Enable the Enhanced Modem Billing feature.
3 Configure the port(s) on the CO modems.
Procedure 6-1 on page 6-3 describes the steps to complete these tasks.
Enhanced Modem Billing CO modem provisioning
In Enhanced Modem Billing configurations, the CO modems are provisioned
using the Co Modem Configuration dialog found in the EtherLoop Modem
Provisioning section of Port Manager. The port(s) on the EtherLoop CO
modems are provisioned as if they were ports on an Ethernet switch, using the
Port Configuration dialog found in the Ethernet Switch and Port
Provisioning section of Port Manager.
Note: In this release of YesWare, the Modify Modem Ports function in the
EtherLoop Port Provisioning section of Port Manager is not
recommended and should not be used to provision Enhanced Modem
Billing ports.
Enhanced Modem Billing CPE modem provisioning
The CPE modems in Enhanced Modem Billing serve only as extended
connections to the CO modem ports. Enhanced Modem Billing does not
support management of CPE modems, so no direct CPE modem provisioning
is required. However, for billing and inventory purposes, the CPE locations
must be correlated and tracked to the "Port Location" and "Port Section" fields
in the Ethernet Port Configuration dialog.
Enhanced modem billing displaces Ethernet Port Billing
In this release of YesWare, Enhanced Modem Billing and Ethernet Port Billing
cannot
be used simultaneously. Facilities that require both EtherLoop and Ethernet
transport systems cannot
use Enhanced Modem Billing, but must instead provision
Modem Connection Billing to support the EtherLoop system as described in
Procedure 6-2 on page 6-13.
