The time required to complete the installation and activation depends on the
network element type and the hosting server.
Network element modification
Network elements can be modified in several ways:
modify a whole network element: Use this option to modify the base port of a
network element application, to associate a different Fault-Performance
Manager with the network element, and to modify many options that are
specific to each network element type.
modify a network element instance: Engineering parameters for each network
element instance can be altered.
modify Configuration Parameters: Use this option to modify operating
parameters that can be modified while the network element is in service. The
changes apply to all network element instances of the network element.
Modifying a whole network element
The properties for each network element type differ. Refer to the specific network
element documentation for information about the properties. To perform this
procedure you must have NEService privileges.
1 In the System Management Console, from the configuration view, select
Network Elements > <ne_type>.
A window for the network element type appears in the work area.
2 Select the entry for the network element to modify and click Edit.
3 In the Edit dialog box, modify the configuration data.
4 Click Apply.
A warning dialog box opens if other network elements need to be restarted as
a result of the configuration change. Otherwise, the Edit dialog box closes and
the system applies the data change to all instances of the network element
immediately.
Note: Installation of a network element on a server can generate a
threshold alarm that indicates high CPU usage. The alarm clears after the
installation is complete.
