11.3 Node number and node name
A unique node number (CPSS address) identifies each node in a network. The system
can also be given a node name.
The node number and name are not saved as part of a configuration database backup.
That is, when a database is loaded into a node from backup, the number and name
return to their default values (unassigned). This helps prevent two or more nodes in
a network from having the same number. See chapter 30 in
Maintenance
for more
information.
Node number
The node number is the CPSS address used to uniquely identify your unit within a
network managed by a proprietary network manager. If the unit is part of a network
managed by a non-CPSS capable network manager, the node number does not need
to be set.
The node number can be any number from 1 to 999, inclusive. When assigned, it is
displayed in the data area. For a node number to take effect, you may have to restart
the system; the NMTI displays a message if this is the case.
Node name
The unit may be assigned a 12-character name that appears in the header. You can
delete the node name by pressing
↵
when you are prompted to enter a name.

Caution —
When the system is restarted, all active calls are dropped,
in-progress maintenance operations are ended and the NMTI session
with the system is ended. The restart does not affect configuration
settings.
