Configuring the AT-CM Line Cards
This procedure explains how to configure the settings of the AT-CM Line
Cards for the dying gasp feature. The procedure has you do the following:
ˆ Verify the hardware version numbers of the line cards.
ˆ Verify the version numbers of the AT-S73 Management Software on
the line cards.
ˆ Set the operating modes of the line cards to OAM visible.
ˆ Set the OAM operating mode of the fiber optic ports on the line cards
to active.
You have to perform this procedure at a managed Converteon chassis
that has the AT-CV5M02 Management Card. The AT-CM Line Cards that
will be deployed in the unmanaged AT-CV1203 Chassis at the remote
sites have to be configured in a managed chassis before they are installed
in the AT-CV1203 Chassis.
The following procedure uses the menus to configure the line cards. You
can also perform the procedure from the web browser windows.
To verify and configure the AT-CM Line Card for the dying gasp feature
from the menus:
1. Install the AT-CM Line Card in the AT-CV5000 Chassis that has the
AT-CV5M02 Management Card.
2. Start a local management session on the chassis.
3. From the Main Menu select Administration -> Diagnostics -> Line
Card Image Version.
4. Examine the hardware version number of the AT-CM Line Card. The
version numbers are displayed as extensions of the model names, like
“-v2.” Refer to Table 27 for the supported hardware versions. Line
cards without a version number do not support the dying gasp feature.
