Working with Service Element Profiles
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
• ATM Logical Ports
• 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.
Step 3 Enter the attribute values under the appropriate tabs. Refer to the attribute tables in this section for
attribute information.
