9.2 EMS Configuration Component

Use the following procedures to manage TekPath or ELAP EMS configuration components:

• Creating an EMS Configuration Component
• Modifying an EMS Configuration Component
• Viewing an EMS Configuration Component
• Deleting an EMS Configuration Component

9.2.1 Creating an EMS Configuration Component

For each network element to be supported by the LSMS, create an EMS Configuration component using the following procedure:

Note:

For each EMS configuration created, you must perform a bulk download to the associated EMS/network element. Refer to the LNP Database Synchronization User's Guide for bulk loading procedures.

1. Log into the LSMS as a user in the lsmsadm or lsmsall group.
2. From the LNP System menu, shown in the following figure:

   Figure 9-27 LNP System Menu – Create EMS

   
   
   

   , select Configure, and then LNP System, and then EMS, and then Create.

   The EMS Configuration Component window displays. The window usually opens with the Address Info tab displayed; if the Address Info tab is not displayed, click its tab to display it.

3. Ensure that the radio button for an ELAPMPS or a TekPath MPS is selected. For an ELAPMPS (ELAP version 7 or older), enter the IP addresses for MPS A and MPS B (enter a value from 0 to 255 in each of the first three octets and a value from 0 to 254 in the forth octet). For a TekPath MPS, enter the IP address for MPS A only.
4. Click the Component Info tab, shown in Figure 9-30.
