Chapter 3 Turn Up a Node
NTP-G24 Set Up Name, Date, Time, and Contact Information
NTP-G24 Set Up Name, Date, Time, and Contact Information
Step 1
Complete the
“DLP-G46 Log into CTC” task on page 2-25
for the node you will turn up. If you are
already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2
In node view, click the
Provisioning > General
tabs.
Step 3
Enter the following information in the fields listed:
•
Node Name—Type a name for the node. For TL1 compliance, names must begin with an alpha
character and have no more than 20 alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) characters.
Note
To avoid errors when you import the Cisco MetroPlanner configuration file in the
“NTP-G138 Import a Cisco MetroPlanner Configuration File” task on page 3-82
, the CTC
node name and the Cisco MetroPlanner site name should be the same or at least easy to
identify.
•
Contact—Type the name of the node contact person and the phone number, up to 255 characters
(optional).
•
Latitude—(Optional) Enter the node latitude: N (north) or S (south), degrees, and minutes.
•
Longitude—(Optional) Enter the node longitude: E (east) or W (west), degrees, and minutes.
CTC uses the latitude and longitude to position ONS 15454 icons on the network view map. To
convert a coordinate in degrees to degrees and minutes, multiply the number after the decimal by
60. For example, the latitude 38.250739 converts to 38 degrees, 15 minutes (0.250739 x 60 =
15.0443, rounded to the nearest whole number).
•
Description—Type a description of the node. The description can be a maximum of 255 characters.
•
Use NTP/SNTP Server—When checked, CTC uses a Network Time Protocol (NTP) or Simple
Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server to set the date and time of the node.
If you do not use an SNTP or NTP server, complete the Date and Time fields. The ONS 15454 will
use these fields for alarm dates and times. By default, CTC displays all alarms in the CTC computer
time zone for consistency. To change the display to the node time zone, complete the
Display Alarms and Conditions Using Time Zone” task on page 8-11
Note
Using an NTP or SNTP server ensures that all ONS 15454 network nodes use the same date
and time reference. The server synchronizes the node’s time after power outages or software
upgrades.
Purpose
This procedure provisions identification information for the node,
including the node name, a contact name and phone number, the location
of the node, and the date, time, and time zone.
