Provision OTU interface parameters

Perform the following steps to provision the physical port parameters of an OTU port on OTN supporting cards:

Go to Configuration > Layer 1 menu and click Manage L1 Ports option. Manage Ports page is displayed.
Do one of the following:
- Select Node check box and enter the IP address of the desired node in IP text box provided.
- Enter the name of the desired node in IP text box provided.
Click (Search Nodes). Shelf(s) and cards details of the node are listed under Node Tree pane.
Click Ports drop-down for desired card and select the OTU port under Node Tree pane. The physical port parameters of the selected OTU port is listed in OTU DETAILS tab under OTN OTU Physical Port Details pane.
Double-click the field desired to change. All parameters (except ID and Label) are editable. For more information, refer to OTU Physical Port details table.
Click (Save Changes). Review Change Request window is displayed. Object field displays the OTU port parameters edited by the user with changed values under New Value field and previous values under Old Value field.
Do one of the following:
- To discard the unwanted changes, select the row against that change and click (Delete Changes). The selected row(s) will be crossed out and marked in red color. Go to step 8.
- To commit all the changes, go to step 8.
Click (Save Changes). Change Requests Status window is displayed listing the status of operation under Status field.
Click (Close) to exit Change Requests Status window. A message Please refresh the Page or search Node. Automatically Refreshing the page in 3 minutes is displayed.
For the changes to apply and get updated in TJ5500, refreshing operation is required to be performed. This can be done in any of the two ways mentioned as follows:
- Manually by clicking on (Search Nodes) or refreshing the page; or
- Automatically, where a timer starts and the page will be refreshed in 3 minutes. The timer will be displayed on same page. If desired, user can click Stop link to stop the timer anytime but the refresh operation will be performed and changes will apply.
  (show changes saved) button allows you to view the saved changes in Recently saved changes window. This button is available only when the timer is visible.

OTU Physical Port details

Parameter	Description	Default Value	Acceptable Value
ID	Displays the OTU port number in ci-si-pn format.	--	--
Label	Displays the OTU port number in ci-si-pn format.	--	--
Admin Status	Allows you to select the status of the interface as: Up: Sets the interfaces in service. Down: Sets the interfaces out of service.	Up	Up Down
TIM Detection Mode	Allows you to select the TIM (Trace Identifier Mismatch) detection mode. The detection of TIM is based on a comparison between the expected Trial Trace Identifier (TTI) and the received TTI. IGNORE: no checking. SAPI: checking the SAPI only. DAPI: checking the DAPI only. SAPI+DAPI: checking both the SAPI and DAPI.	IGNORE	IGNORE SAPI DAPI SAPI+DAPI
TIM Action	Allows you to select the action to be taken upon detection from the following options: Ignore TIM: No action on trace identifier mismatch. Report TIM, No Downstream AIS: Report alarm traffic affecting, on trace identifier mismatch. Downstream AIS on TIM: Sends alarm indication signal (AIS) downstream (traffic affecting), on trace identifier mismatch.	Ignore TIM	Ignore TIM Report TIM, No Downstram AIS Downstream AIS on TIM
Degraded Signal Defect	Allows you to select the value (in seconds), exceeding which signal fail alarm is raised for errors.	02	02 to 10
Deg Threshold	Allows you to select the threshold (in percentage), exceeding which signal fail alarm is raised for errors.	01	01 to 100
DAPI Transmitted	Allows you to enter the destination access point identifier to be transmitted.	abcdabcdabcd	Up to 16 alphanumeric characters including special characters.
SAPI Expected	Allows you to enter the expected source access point identifier.	abcdabcdabcd	Up to 16 alphanumeric characters including special characters.
DAPI Expected	Allows you to enter the expected destination access point identifier. This parameter is editable when TIM Detection Mode is set as 'DAPI TIM' or 'SAPI+DAPI TIM'.	abcdabcdabcd	Up to 16 alphanumeric characters including special characters.
SAPI Transmitted	Allows you to enter the source access point identifier to be transmitted.	abcdabcdabcd	Up to 16 alphanumeric characters including special characters.
Forward Error Correction	Allows you to enable or disable FEC on the port.	Disable	Enable Disable
FEC Type	Allows you to select the FEC type as either RS/G-FEC or 1.4/E-FEC.	RS/G-FEC	RS/G-FEC 1.4/E-FEC
GCC0 Application	Allows you to enable or disable the GCC0 byte for management channel communication.	Disable	Enable Disable
OTU Port Alarm Profile	Allows you to select the default OTU port profile.	Internal	Internal External
Threshold (for TCA-15min)	Allows you to enable or disable the TCA for 15 minutes interval. Enable: Threshold Crossing Alerts (TCA) can be user configured for 15 minutes interval. When enabled, TCA alarm is raised on performance monitoring counts crossing the threshold value. Disable: Threshold Crossing Alerts (TCA) are disabled. Default: Default values for the thresholds are used.	Disable	Enable Disable Default
Threshold (for TCA-1Day)	Allows you to enable or disable the TCA for 1 day duration. Enable: Threshold Crossing Alerts (TCA) can be user configured for 1day interval. When enabled, TCA alarm is raised on performance monitoring counts crossing the threshold value. Disable: TCA is disabled. Default: Default values for the thresholds are used.	Disable	Enable Disable Default
Traffic Engineering	Allows you to enable or disable traffic engineering on the port. On enabling, the port becomes a part of GMPLS cloud and Remote Port Label set will get displayed with details of un-channelized timeslots, free and busy channels on remote end.	Disable	Enable Disable
SRLG	Allows you assign a SRLG identifier. The same value should be assigned on the remote port of the remote/far end node to which it is connected in a GMPLS network.	--	Any numeric value
Link Bundling	Allows you to enable or disable link bundling on the port. In case of multiple paths between two nodes and link bundling enabled on all the links, protocols namely OSPF-TE, RSVP, and CSPF will be enabled and the related information will be shared via a single Bundled Interface created. In essence, only one adjacency shall be created with that neighbor using any non-faulty link. When enabled, auto-discovery on that port will get enabled followed by creation of an IBC (BUNDLED_LINK) automatically. NOTE: Any existing IBC will have to be deleted in order to enable link bundling on that port.	Disable	Enable Disable
TE Metric	Allows you to enter the value for the port when the route selection metric under GMPLS is set as User_Defined. The same value should be entered on the far end connected port.	100	--
Latency TE Metric	Displays the Delay Measurement value in terms micro seconds. The value gets refreshed when the user manually refreshes the DM value from Performance Monitoring page.	--	--
