This chapter describes the node commissioning procedures you must perform on a newly installed node. The node commissioning is performed using the web user interface by providing the commissioning data of the node. The commission and test report is used to record the commissioning data of a node.
15.1 Configure parameters in SLAT page
Ethernet IP
Each node has a network management system (LAN/NMS) port which is a 10/100 Mbps network interface controller (NIC) port. Ethernet IP is the IP address with which the node communicates with the external world.
Subnet mask length
The subnet mask length is an optional parameter that corresponds to the Ethernet IP address. Subnetting is used to set the subnet mask parameters.
NOTE 1: The subnet mask for a point-to-point connection (that is, a direct Ethernet connection between the WUI host and the node) should be set to 32.
NOTE 2: If there are any failures after the node is up and configured, the you will still be able to reach the node if it goes to the SLAT page.
Router ID
Node communicates in the network over the Embedded Communication Channel (ECC), using the router ID. A node can be configured either as a gateway element (interconnecting two networks) or just a pass-through node.
Follow the steps before configuring the Ethernet IP, subnet mask, router ID, and rate on the node:
1. Log into node WUI using the LAN/NMS port.
2. Ensure your PC is correctly connected to the node through the LAN/NMS port.
3. Ensure that you have the Ethernet IP address, router ID, sub net mask, and static route IP of the node to be configured.
4. Ensure the PC is configured in the same LAN as the node.
Follow these steps to configure the node's Ethernet IP, subnet mask, router ID, and rate:
1. Click Initialize Node Parameters. The Configure Slat Node page appears.

NOTE 3: The default Ethernet IP displayed is 192.168.1.254.
NOTE 4: The node reboots after the Ethernet IP, subnet mask, and the router ID are entered. After the node is up, verify whether all the changes are reflected. If the changes are not reflected correctly, contact your next level of support. The PC IP configuration must be updated to ensure connectivity to the newly provisioned IP address for the node. Software version appears in the description field of the default WUI page. The software version is in the format x.y, where x is the major release and y is the minor release.
15.2 Connect PC to LAN/NMS port of the node
Before connecting the PC to the LAN/NMS interface of the TJ1600-2 node, follow the steps:
• Ensure that you have a PC and an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector.
• Ensure that you have the node IP address information, if the node has already been commissioned.
NOTE: After powering up the node you have to wait for few minutes for the node software to be up. This time depends on the cross connect card being used. The Status/Active LED indicates the up status of the node. The IP address of the PC should be in the same IP subnet as that configured on the node. If the node is getting commissioned for the 1st time then use any address of PC other than 192.168.1.254 in 192.168.1.0 subnetwork.
To connect the PC to the LAN/NMS interface of the node, follow the steps:
1. Connect the LAN/NMS port of the node and the PC terminal with an Ethernet cable of RJ-45 connector type.
2. Configure the IP address of the PC to be in the same subnet as the node.
3. If the preceeding steps fail, check whether that you have used correct cables.
NOTE: While connecting to an uncommissioned node, your PC IP address must be 192.168.1.xxx where xxx is between 1 and 253. While connecting to commissioned node, your PC IP address must reside in the same subnet as the node. Also, configure the PC subnet mask to match the node's subnet mask and the PC default gateway must be in the same LAN/NMS gateway.
15.3 Connect PC to LNMS ports of the node
Before connecting the PC to the LNMS interface of the TJ1600-6 node, follow the steps:
• Ensure that you have a PC and an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector.
• Ensure that you have the node IP address information, if the network element has already been commissioned.
NOTE: After powering up the node, wait for few minutes for the node software to be up. This time depends on the cross connect card being used. The Status/Active LED indicates the up status of the node. The IP address of the PC should be in the same IP subnet as that configured on the node. If the node is getting commissioned for the 1st time then use any address of PC other than 192.168.1.XXX in 192.168.1.XXX subnetwork.
To connect the PC to the LNMS interface of the node:
1. Connect the LNMS port of the node and the PC terminal with an Ethernet cable of RJ-45 connector type.
2. Configure the IP address of the PC to be in the same sub net as the node.
3. If the preceeding steps fail, check whether that you have used correct cables.
NOTE: While connecting to an uncommissioned node, your PC IP address must be 192.168.1.XXX where XXX is between 1 and 253. While connecting to commissioned node, your PC IP address must reside in the same subnet as the node. Also, configure the PC subnet mask to match the network element's subnet mask and the PC default gateway must be in the same LNMS gateway.
15.4 Download software from SLAT page
System Line-up and Test (SLAT) is used for new configuration of the node.
Before downloading the software from SLAT page, ensure that you have:
• PC and an Ethernet crossover cable with RJ-45 connector.
• Node IP address information if the node is already been commissioned.
To download software from SLAT page, ensure the following:
1. Connect the laptop with static IP 192.168.1.x to the node so that, it can be accessed.
2. Launch Mozilla 38.0.0/Microsoft Edge 108.0.1462.54/Google Chrome 108.0.5359.125 of the browser and enter the URL https://192.168.1.254 or http://192.168.1.254:20080.
