Configuring the Cisco NI-1 DLSAM Equipment
Module
The Cisco 6100/6130 NI-1 DSLAM Equipment Module supports provisioning of cross connections on
Cisco 6100/6130 NI-1 DSL access concentrators. The Cisco 6100/6130 DSL access multiplexer
(DSLAM) is an ATM cell switch that multiplexes traffic from subscriber ports to a single ATM WAN
port. Its 32 slot multiport line-card architecture can support ADSL and SDSL technologies.
Supported Configurations
Two configurations are possible with this system:
• Subscriber Connection Configurations
• Subtending Configurations
CHAPTER
6
Subscriber Connection Configurations
Subscriber Connection configurations include the following:
• Direct Connect Configuration.
This involves connecting one subscriber directly to a modem (ATU-C or STU-C). Traffic is
multiplexed from up to 64 ADSL or 128 SDSL subscriber ports to a single ATM WAN port.
• Digital Off-Hook Configuration (DOH).
This configuration uses a combination of a Multiplexer Chassis (MC), Line Concentration Chassis
(LCC), and POTS Splitter Chassis (PSC) to provide the highest subscriber concentration. This
configuration uses ADSL technology to support up to 400 ADSL users through 64 ADSL modem
ports, allowing connections to be made when they are needed (i.e., dial up). If a connection is not
established, the central office modem resources are made available to another CPE.
Subtending Configurations
Subtending Configurations include the following:
• Non-subtended Network Configuration.
Allows individual DSLAMs to be directly linked to the WAN via a trunk that comes from the WAN
port.

Chapter 6 Configuring the Cisco NI-1 DLSAM Equipment Module
Note In order to configure the NI-1 DLSAM Equipment Module you must have installed it
during the CPC Server and Client installation procedures. For more information about
installing CPC, refer to the chapter titled "Initial Installation" in the Cisco Provisioning
Center Installation and Administration Guide.
Summary of Configuration Tasks
To configure the Equipment Module to make CPC operational, you must complete the following steps:
Step 1 Network Timeout.
Step 2 Initial system upload.
Step 3 Re-upload (if configuration information has changed).
Step 4 Add inter-network links (topology) information.
Step 5 Configure Service element profiles.
Summary of Configuration Tasks
Network Timeout
The NI-1 DLSAM Equipment Module implements an overall timeout for service provisioning
transactions. There are two environmental variables that define the Network Timeout. These are
CCP_ACTIVATION_TIMEOUT (Default=120 seconds) and CCP_RESET_TIMEOUT (default=
300 seconds); they define the maximum interval (measured in seconds) allowed for each Service element
activation and for the rollback of each Service element, respectively. The maximum interval must
amount to the maximum time to elapse before the NIF times out. For example, if
CCP_ACTIVATION_TIMEOUT=180, this allows the NIF three minutes to activate an item in a
Transaction.
Default settings are used if the NIF detects that these variables are not set in the environment.
Network timeout requires shutting down the server if it is not already down, setting the variables and
then restarting it to pick up the environment changes.
To set the CCP_ACTIVATION_TIMEOUT environment variable:
Step 1 Shut down the CPC server by issuing the following command:
SYnpt -h
Step 2 Set the environment variable to an integer (measured in seconds) that amounts to the maximum time to
elapse before the NIF times out:
export CCP_ACTIVATION_TIMEOUT=180
To set the CCP_RESET_TIMEOUT environment variable:
Step 3 Set the environment variable to an integer (measured in seconds) that amounts to the maximum time to
elapse before the NIF times out:
export CCP_RESET_TIMEOUT=180

Initial System Upload
Step 4 Run the following commands in succession to source the Server environment and start the CPC Server:
cd /opt/SY/Activator/Server/mng/utility
. syccpovdef
SYnpt -sS
Initial System Upload
In order to provision services, the CPC database must have detailed knowledge of the managed
subnetworks. Using a procedure called upload, objects are created within the CPC database that
represent objects of the managed network.
Note The term upload does not refer to the creation of inter-network links because they are
outside the scope of any single Equipment Module. For more information on adding
inter-networking links, see the section titled “Adding Inter-Network Links (Topology)
Information” in this chapter.
Chapter 6 Configuring the Cisco NI-1 DLSAM Equipment Module
CPC supports the following types of upload:
• fabric (nodes, DSL physical ports, WAN physical ports, WAN subtending ports, ATM logical ports)
• Service (ATM cross connections)
• fabric and Service (all)
For the Cisco 6100/6130 NI-1 Equipment Module you can upload many nodes at once (network upload)
or an individual node at a time. CPC supports the following upload scenarios:
• Given a network object, upload just the fabric elements for the nodes in that network.
• Given a network object, upload just the Service elements for the nodes in that network.
• Given a network object, upload all the fabric and Service elements for the nodes in that network.
• Given a node object, upload just the fabric elements for that node.
• Given a node object, upload just the Service elements for that node.
• Given a node object, upload all fabric and Service elements for that node.
Note The upload function takes precedence over any Transactions that are running at the time of
upload. If the upload function makes a change back to the fabric that affects a running
Transaction (such as deleting a logical port that the Threader has decided to use) then this
Transaction fails and must be restarted.
Network and node objects must be created in order to perform an Upload.

to nodes in the network. You should re-upload after any of the following scenarios:
6-10
• an existing node has been upgraded
• new hardware has been added to a switch
• you need to recover from a failure situation (to synchronize the database with the network)
• when Service elements are not updated by CPC (both for initial population of the database and also
for co-existence with other provisioning products)
Cisco Provisioning Center User’s Guide
78-11339-01
Chapter 6 Configuring the Cisco NI-1 DLSAM Equipment Module
To re-upload you need to upload the fabric and Service elements for that node. For more information,
refer to the sections “Uploading the Fabric and Service Elements for a Node Object” and “Uploading the
Fabric Elements for a Node Object” in this chapter.
Working with Logical Ports
ATM logical ports can be created, modified, and deleted from DSL physical ports.
Creating Logical Ports
When creating a Cisco 6100/6130 ATM Logical Port, select an available DSL physical port (one whose
Interworking Model is set to None). This ensures that the selected physical port is not being used by
other network models. Ensure that the Maximum Connections field is set to 4 or less and update the other
fields (such as Name) as necessary. To create an ATM logical port, complete the following steps:
Step 1 From the Root Tree Viewer choose Network > Cisco NI1 DSLAM Network Name > Cisco NI1 DSLAM
Node > Node Name > Cisco NI1 DSLAM ATM Logical Port.
Working with Logical Ports
Step 2 Click the Object Viewer button on the toolbar.
Step 3 Fill in the attribute fields with the required values. Ensure that the Maximum Connections field is set
to four or less, and update other fields as necessary. You must select a physical port to which the logical
port belongs.
Step 4 Save and apply the network object by clicking the Save and Apply buttons.
Note You must use the copy and paste mechanism when entering a value for the physical port
that will contain the logical port. Manually entered physical port values are not supported.
Modifying Logical Ports
To modify an ATM logical port, complete the following steps:
Step 1 From the Root Tree Viewer choose Network > Cisco NI1 DSLAM Network Name > Cisco NI1 DSLAM
Node > Node Name > Cisco NI1 DSLAM ATM Logical Port > Logical Port name.
Step 2 Click the Object Viewer button on the toolbar.
Step 3 Click the field(s) containing the attribute you want to modify and enter a new value.
Step 4 Save and apply the network object by clicking the Save and Apply buttons.

Naming Logical Ports
Deleting Logical Ports
Deleting an ATM logical port will delete an agent subscriber from the Cisco 6100/6130.
Step 1 From the Root Tree Viewer choose Network > Cisco NI1 DSLAM Network Name > Cisco NI1 DSLAM
Node > Node Name > Cisco NI1 DSLAM ATM Logical Port > Logical Port Name
Step 2 Click the Delete button on the toolbar.
Step 3 Apply the Transaction by clicking the Apply button on the toolbar.
Naming Logical Ports
The Cisco 6100/6130 NI-1 Equipment Module allows the name of a logical port to be changed from the
default name given by CPC when you save a logical port without naming it.
Equipment Module logical port names can be modified through the FTI or the GUI. The names can now
be set to any combination of characters, and must be less than 33 characters. When this name attribute
is modified, the Equipment Module verifies that the new name is unique within the containing node.
The name attribute is reset to its default when the user sets the name attribute to an empty string. The
Equipment Module logical port name is stored in the CPC database as the attribute srname.
Chapter 6 Configuring the Cisco NI-1 DLSAM Equipment Module
A Transaction must be opened to change the name attribute.
Adding Inter-Network Links (Topology) Information
After uploading new fabric elements and Service elements, you need to add extra topology information
which the upload function is unable to determine (because the information is not known to the node).
Topology information or inter-network links are outside the scope of the a single node or subnet manager
and must be added manually through the CPC GUI or the FTI.
Links from subtended to subtending nodes in a subtending configuration must be added in the following
manner.
Adding Links Using the GUI
Step 1 From the Root Tree Viewer choose Network Admin > InterNetworking > Link.
Step 2 Click the Object Viewer button on the toolbar.
Step 3 Enter the attribute values under the Common Attributes, Contained By, LPort Association, and Link
Parameters tabs. For attribute information and detailed procedures, refer to Chapter 4, “General
Functions and Features.”
Step 4 Save and apply the link object by clicking the Save and Apply buttons on the toolbar.
Step 5 Repeat the above procedure to create each inter-networking link.

Chapter 6 Configuring the Cisco NI-1 DLSAM Equipment Module
Working with Service Element Profiles
Service element profiles provide you with access to the Cisco-specific attributes for a particular Service
element. There is a corresponding Service element profile for each Service element type that the node
supports. Default profiles provide the initial (default) attribute values for the corresponding object class
whenever such a new object is created.
For a given Service element, more than one profile may be defined. However, for a given object, only
one profile may be associated at any one time.
Since profiles themselves are objects which you can create and modify, they provide a means to store
and name commonly used sets of attributes and provide a reliable shorthand method of configuring any
number of new objects. A profile has most of the same attributes as the corresponding object class. Some
attributes of the object class are not included in the profile because they are expected to be unique for
each object. For example, an object’s name is not a profile attribute.
The attributes of a profile are referred to as initial value attributes because they are used to assign the
initial values to the corresponding object. Once a new object has been created based on a profile, changes
to profile attribute values do not cause any changes to the corresponding object. The only time the profile
attributes affect the object is when you create a new object or when you reassign an existing object to
the same or different profile.
For the Cisco 6100/6130 NI-1 Equipment Module, you can create Service element profiles for the
following supported Service Elements:
• DSL Physical Ports
Working with Service Element Profiles
• ATM L o gi ca l P or ts
• ATM-ATM Cross Connections
This section details the generic procedure for creating, modifying, and deleting Service element profiles,
and then provides the specific configurable attributes for each Service element profile for this Equipment
Module.
If you provide values for these attributes and also provide values in other places when you are creating
a service (either during service creation or in a Service Object profile) the threader will override the
values based on the following scale of priorities:
1. Service Object Viewer—All information provided in the Service object Subset Viewer is used by
CPC.
2. Service object profile—CPC will only use the information provided in the Service object profile for
values that are either not available or not specified in the Service object Subset Viewer.
3. Service element profile—CPC uses values from the Service element profile for all attributes that are
not present or not specified in the Service object profile or the Service object Subset Viewer.
Creating a Service Element Profile
To create a Service element profile, complete the following steps:
Step 1 From the Root Tree Viewer choose Equipment Module > Cisco NI1 DSLAM Equipment Module >
Cisco NI1 DSLAM Node > Cisco NI1 DSLAM ATM-ATM Cross-Connect Profile.
Step 2 Click the Object Viewer button on the toolbar.

ATU-C DMT-2
Bit Swapping Enabling this attribute allows the
modem to that the subscriber is
connected to utilize bit swapping
(if capable). This will allow it to
acknowledge bit swap requests
from the far end and to request bit
swapping when necessary.
Trellis Code Enabling this attribute allows
trellis coding to be used in both
upstream and downstream
directions. If neither the modem
supports trellis coding, the link
will revert to no trellis coding (i.e.,
trellis coding must be used in both
directions if it is to be used).
FEC
Redundancy
Bytes
This is the number of forward error
checking coding bytes to be
included in the ADSL superframe.
This value will be used in both the
upstream and downstream
directions, and on both fast and
interleaved paths.
Interleaved
Delay (usec)
The delay on the interleaved path,
in both the upstream and
downstream directions.

ATU-C CAP
CPE Signature This attribute specifies a CPE
software signature (which
corresponds to a specific version).
If the Allow CPE’s Signature
Detection attribute is Enabled, then
any CPE having a software
signature lower than this value will
not be allowed to train. A value of
zero implies that no rejection will
occur.
Allow CPE’s

Detection
This attribute controls the
detection and enforcement of
minimum compatible software
levels when the modem port that
the subscriber is connected to
trains to the CPE at the far end. If
this attribute is Enabled, the
modem port retrieves the software
signature during the training
sequence. If disabled, the software
signature provided by the far end
CPE is ignored and the training
sequence is allowed to continue as
normal.
Allow 136K
Baud
(Downstream)
Enabling this attribute allows
modems to use the 136K baud rate
when attempting to train at the
requested upstream and
downstream rates
(incoming/outgoing bandwidth). If
this attribute is Disabled, the 136K
baud rate will not be used in the
training algorithm. If the
subscriber is provisioned for rates
that require 136K baud, the modem
will attempt to train at the closest
rate combination not using 136K
baud.

ATM-ATM Cross Connection Service Element Profile Attributes
The ATM-ATM Cross Connection Service element profile provides you with access to the additional
attributes that you can configure for a Cisco 6100/6130 ATM Cross Connect service through the Cisco
6100/6130 DSLAM. The ATM cross-connection object represents a cross connect between two ATM
logical ports in the same node. This Service object can be a VC between a DSL port and a Network
Interface (NI) port and also between subtending NI ports. The information you provide in the Service
element profile is communicated to the Cisco 6100/6130 DSLAM through the Equipment Module and
helps to define the type of service you are provisioning in the network. If you do not create Service
element profiles, the Equipment Module will communicate the values specified in the default Service
element profile.
