18. Change Group Numbers of Block to Fit Target
System
18. Change Group Numbers of Block to Fit
Target System
In Step 8. Change Group Number of Enclosure to 01 on page 6-16, you temporarily
changed the group numbers of each enclosure in the block to configure them. Now that
you are adding the block to the target system, you must change those temporary group
numbers to working group numbers appropriate for the target system:
1. See Worksheets 3 and 4 (for a Tetra 8 topology) or 5 and 6 (for a Tetra 16
topology) to see which enclosures receive which group numbers.
2. Change the group numbers by using the group ID switches. For the procedure, see
8. Change Group Number of Enclosure to 01 on page 6-16.
19. Disconnect System Console From Block
19.1 Stop OSM or TSM Low-Level Link
1. From the OSM or TSM Low-Level Link menu bar, select File.
2. Click Exit.
19.2 Disconnect System Console
Disconnect the Ethernet cables that connect the system console to the PMF CRUs in
slots 50 and 55 of the group 01 enclosure. Figure 6-4 on page 6-28 shows an example
of the location of these cables. Some PMF CRUs have the Ethernet port in a different
location than the PMF CRU in this example.
Note. To change the group number of IOAM enclosures, your service provider uses the
Configure Module action in the OSM Low-Level Link Application.
