Provisioning

Interface Groups for T1
and STS-1

JetCraft supports RT provisioning and up to eight IGs can be
provisioned.

JetCraft enables PPS settings and allows switchover on selected
EOC and TMC.

Protection Groups for
PSTN and ATM

A Protection Group provides a logical mapping for two ports,
where only one port is active at a time and another port is in a
standby state. Up to six PSTN and four ATM PGs can be
provisioned. JetCraft also supports ATM APS configuration.

IAD Profiles JetCraft provides a variety of default profiles.

IADs JetCraft supports RT provisioning and up to 8,192 IADs can be

provisioned.

Craft Terminal The JetCraft software runs on Windows 98/2000 or NT 4.0. A PC

(or laptop) with the JetCraft software installed serves as a Craft
terminal to the CPX-1000.

The Craft terminal communicates with a CPX-1000 through an
Ethernet connection using TCP/IP protocol. The physical
connection can be local (through a Local Area Network (LAN)
connection) or remote (through a Wide Area Network (WAN)
connection).

Installing
JetCraft

Step 1 Place the JetCraft application software CD into the CD-ROM drive.

Though two different versions of JetCraft can co-exist on the same
machine, we recommend that they be installed in different folders.

To install the JetCraft software:

A screen appears, indicating the file extraction status. Then the
Welcome screen appears (Figure 2–1).

(Figure 2–6).

Starting
JetCraft

Figure 2–6. Installation Summary Screen

Step 7 Click Exit. The JetCraft icon (Figure 2–7) appears on your

desktop.

Figure 2–7. JetCraft Icon

JetCraft Release 2.6 is not backward compatible. If you log in to a
CPX-1000 running an earlier version, an error message appears,
indicating the version of the CPX-1000 is unsupported.

Once connected, JetCraft pings the CPX-1000 on a repeating
interval and notifies you when the connection is lost
(Re-connecting to JetCraft on page 2-9).

The CPX-1000 is shipped with the following defaults set:

2-6 June 2005

 IP address: 10.0.10.100

 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

1000-A2-GB22-10 2. JetCraft Installation

Note

Ensure that the craft terminal (PC) and CPX-1000 are on
the same subnet.

To start the JetCraft application:

Step 1 Change the IP address of the craft terminal to match that of

CPX-1000 (Network Neighborhood > TCP/IP tab), but increase the
last digit by one bit. For example, if the IP address of the CPX-1000
is 10.153.145.128, then enter 10.153.145.128.

Step 2 Change the subnet mask of the craft terminal to match that of

CPX-1000.

Step 3 Reboot and restart the craft terminal.

Step 4 Double-click the JetCraft icon on your desktop. The Login dialog

box appears, displaying the default IP address (Figure 2–8).

Step 5 Type the IP address of the CPX-1000 to which you are logging in

Step 6 Typ e cpxuser (default user ID) in the User Id field.

Step 7 Typ e cpxuser (default password) in the Password field.

Once the IP address is entered, you don’t have to type it
again until you change the CPX-1000 IP address. You
can use the drop-down list to select the IP addresses.

Tree View The Tree View (Figure 3–3) provides a hierarchal view of the

CPX-1000 cards. A plus sign (+) next to the card name indicates
that there are ports assigned to that card. The name of the card
includes the slot number and the name and number of the port. For
example, the card labeled “03-TDM-12T1” indicates that slot 3
contains a TDM T1 card.

To expand and view the structure of the CPX-1000 cards, either
double-click the Shelf icon on the Tree View or click the plus (+)

Administration and User

Management

This chapter provides instructions for provisioning users. These
tasks include:

 Understanding user access control (page 4-1)

 Changing user passwords (page 4-2)

 Creating CPX users (page 4-3)

Although you can install JetCraft anytime, typically, you install the
CPX-1000 and then the JetCraft software. After installation, use
JetCraft to configure users and assign their access privileges. These
users can access the CPX-1000 and create Interface Groups and
IADs.

Understanding
User Access
Control

When you first start JetCraft, log in using the default user ID
(cpxuser) and password (cpxuser). The default user ID belongs to an
authorized user group that has access to all CPX operations. To
limit CPX-1000 access, we recommend changing the default
password as soon as possible.

Each user group has a specific level of access and privilege, and
users belonging to a specific group can only perform operations
that are assigned to that group. Each user is given a password
when the user group is created. Tabl e 4– 1 lists and defines the user
access levels and their privileges.

CPX-1000 Configuration

This chapter provides instruction for configuring the CPX-1000. It
includes the following tasks:

 Modifying IP configuration (page 5-5)

 Configuring global VCI settings (page 5-6)

 Setting CDV value (page 5-8)

 Setting LBO value (page 5-9)

 Configuring the STS-1 card (page 5-10)

 Setting the clock source (page 5-11)

 Refreshing the CPX after modifications (page 5-13)

The CPX-1000 is shipped with the following default and a
standard configuration profile that you use JetCraft to customize
for a specific subscriber.

 IP address: 10.0.10.100

 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

If the CPX-1000 is configured, JetCraft automatically places the
cards in service (i.e., unlocked state) when you log in.

If the CPX-1000 has not been configured, you need to:

 ensure the CPX-1000 equipment is installed

 customize or modify the CPX-1000 profile

 configure the CPX-1000 for telephone service

 monitor equipment initialization for event messages and

Priority 13 is reserved for system clock and is not user­configurable.

When the revertive behavior is selected, it takes place across all
priorities. For example, priorities 1 and 2 lose the clock, and
priority 3 takes over and is actively driving the bus. When priority
1 regains its clock, then priority 1 will then take control of driving
the bus.

This chapter provides instructions to provision network (ATM)
and PSTN Protection Groups. This chapter includes the following
tasks:

which ATM interfaces on the CPX-1000 are associated with a
particular Protection Group.

Ta bl e 6– 1 describes the fields in the Protection Group.

JetCraft supports up to eight Interface Groups for each CPX-1000.
Each Interface Group supports up to 28 DS1 lines or 28 channels
from the CPX-1000.

Typically, the Interface Groups are created without a physical
connection. As a result, the Interface Groups are alarmed as they
are created, then cleared when they are connected to the cable.

Ta bl e 7– 1 lists the parameters you will need to configure the

Interface Group.

Note

An empty T1 CAS Interface Group is available by default. The
Interface group ID for T1 CAS is 9. The group cannot be deleted.

Each Interface Group has a primary and secondary channel. When
a primary channel fails, the secondary channel takes over and vice
versa. This switchover is automatic and requires no user
intervention or control over which channel to switch. The new
switching capability enables you to switch the Embedded
Operations Channel (EOC) and Timeslot Management Channel
(TMC) on a specified Interface Group.
