Procedure 6-3
Provisioning EtherLoop modem management with a
resident YWS
The following procedure lists the steps to create and provision an EtherLoop

same LAN segment as the EtherLoop modems.
This procedure should be done after the EtherLoop client modems have been
installed on the host network.
Action
Step Action
1 Install the EtherLoop modems on the host network. See Elastic Networks
product documentation for instructions.
2 Install and connect the ETH 0 interface of the YWS to the same LAN segment
as the EtherLoop modems.
3 Configure the YWS on the LAN with a valid IP address configuration using
the procedure(s) described in Chapter 3 of this document.
4 Using a PC web browser, browse to the IP address configured for the ETH 0
interface, and login to the YWS.
5 Select the NSS Maintenance / System Maintenance / Set Modex Daemon
info function. Set the Modex Daemon from to ETH 0.
6 In the Modex Daemon module, stop and re-start the Modex Daemon. This
step can also be done by shutting down and re-booting the YWS.
7 Connect the YWS ETH 0 interface to same LAN segment as the EtherLoop
client modems on the host network.
8 Select the Port Manager / EtherLoop Modem Provisioning / Find New
Modems function. Autodetect the modems connected to the ETH 0 network
interface to create the modem database.
9 Provision the modem port database according to your system requirements
using rest of the Port Manager / EtherLoop Modem Provisioning section
(see Chapter 6).
10 Connect a PC to a network that can reach the host network. Test the
EtherLoop-OAM&P system configuration by browsing to the ETH 0 IP
address and attempting to use the YesWare OAM&P functions such as
EtherCraft and SNMP (see Chapters A and 14).
