4.13.2.5– Editing the name of an IP link
4.13.2.6– Locking / unlocking of an IP cross-connection
It is possible to lock or unlock a cross-connection:
– unlocking authorises IP traffic on the link,
– locking blocks IP traffic on the link.
This action is carried out by modifying the administrative status of the IP cross-connection.
When a link is created, its administrative status is locked by default, which prevents the system from
being blocked during cross-connection, in case of equipment problems.
The locking operation may then be implemented on the cross-connection for reasons of maintenance
or for freezing services during disputes between end user and telecoms operator.
Note: the administrative status of the cross-connections is not correlated with that of the ports.
To lock / unlock a link, select the cross-connection concerned on the IP Cross-connection screen
(§ 4.13.2.1 – Presentation of the IP screen), and:
To modify the name of an IP link selected in the IP cross-connections list, click
on the button shown here (on button bar of the IP screen).
FOR A SUBSCRIBER TO HAVE ACCESS TO TRAFFIC, THE CROSS-
CONNECTION MUST BE UNLOCKED FOR CREATION OF CLIENT SERVICES.
THIS OPERATION IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TELECOMS OPERATOR.
IF A PORT IS LOCKED, THERE WILL BE NO SERVICE ON ANY
CROSS-CONNECTION INVOLVING THIS PORT.
– click on the icon of the button bar shown here to lock: the administrative status of
the IP cross-connection switches from "unlocked" to "locked".
– click on the icon of the button bar shown here to unlock: the administrative status
of the IP cross-connection switches from "locked" to "unlocked".
