Administer Fiber Links on Duplex Systems
All non-duplicated Switch Node Interfaces to Switch Node Interface fiber links
are automatically duplicated. When PNC Duplication is enabled on the
System-Parameters Customer-Options form, the following administration forms
change:
■ Cabinet Form — Additional fields appear to allow administration of switch
nodes to A-PNC and B-PNC sides of the CSS. The B-PNC is the
duplicated hardware for the A-PNC. Either the A-PNC or the B-PNC can
provide full customized service. B-PNC cannot be used in a simplex PNC
configuration. Pairing of switch nodes is also defined here.
■ Fiber Link Administration Form — Additional fields appear to allow
administration of fiber links on the B-PNC side of the CSS. If an endpoint
on the A-PNC side is administered as an SNI, its corresponding endpoint
on the B-PNC side is determined (if switch nodes are paired in the cabinet
form prior to this administration) and displayed. However, administration
of the duplicate B-PNC link is not enforced until duplication is in full
operation.
■ Duplication-Related System-Parameters Form — An additional field
appears to enable operation of PNC duplication.

6. The Fiber Link Administration form appears. On Page 1 of the form:
a. Enter the
Board Location:
for Endpoint-1 and Endpoint-2. This
is the cabinet, carrier, and slot that identifies the physical location
of an SNI or EI circuit pack that is the first endpoint of the fiber link.
Repeat for the remaining endpoints.
b. The
Board Type
field is display only and shows the type of circuit
pack in Endpoint-1.
c. In the
DS1CONV Board Location
: field, enter the cabinet, carrier,
and slot that identifies the physical location of DS1 Converter circuit
pack in the first endpoint of the duplicate fiber link. Endpoint-1’s
duplicate along with Endpoint-2’s duplicate make up the duplicate
fiber link called the B-PNC link.
