9. Type Y for yes to update the master configuration file on the
management card with the new setting for the card’s operating mode.
This step is especially important if the auto-copy feature is activated on
the card’s slot. If the card’s operating mode isn’t saved in the master
configuration file, the new setting will not take affect because the card,
after it resets, will simply revert to its previous operating mode. Since
this is the initial configuration, you probably don’t know the auto-copy
setting for the slot. But respond with Yes anyway. In fact, there is little
likelihood you would ever respond with No to this prompt. (This step
isn’t applicable to the AT-CM70S Line Card because it doesn’t support
the auto-copy feature.)
The operating mode on the line card is changed to OAM visible and
the card resets.
10. Wait one minute for the line card to initialize its management software
and then select it again from the Module Status and Configuration
Menu:
11. From the line card’s Module Configuration Menu, select Port A, the
fiber optic port, to display the Port Management Menu.
12. Select OAM Configurations to display the OAM Configuration menu.
(If the menu does not include the OAM configuration selection, the line
card isn’t set to the OAM visible mode.)
13. Select OAM Configuration to display the OAM Configuration
submenu.
14. Check the Admin State parameter. It has to be set to Enabled. If it is
set to Disabled, select Admin State and press Return to toggle the
parameter to Enabled.
15. Check the Mode parameter. It has to be set to Active. If it is set to
Passive, highlight Mode and press Return to toggle the parameter to
Active.
16. If the line card will be installed at a remote site and you want it to
support the OAM loopback test, the Loopback Support parameter has
to be set to Yes. If it is set to No, highlight Loopback Support and
press Return to toggle the parameter to Yes. This parameter has to be
set to Yes only on those remote line cards that will return test packets
from remote sites. For those line cards generating the test packets this
parameter can be set to Yes or No.
Note
The Link Event Support and the Variable Request Support
parameters can be ignored. For further information, refer to
“Configuring an OAM Client” on page 204.
