Configuring Telco Spans
Telco Span configuration provides telephony- and Policy-processing
information specific to each Span. These instructions do not apply to CRCs
or AAA services. You can configure some Span settings on more than one
Span at once, while other configuration settings are only available for
individual Spans. If you have more than one Span of the same type, see
"Importing Span Configuration" on page 118 to import the settings from
one Span to another of the same type.
Many Span configuration settings apply to all Span types, while others are
specific to certain types of Spans. These instructions are organized per tab
on the
Span Configuration
dialog box. Settings that apply to all or most
Span types are discussed first, followed by settings specific to certain Span
types. The applicable Span type(s) are noted in each procedure, with
directions for where to go next at the end of each procedure.
Not all Span configuration items can be set globally; the tabs displayed on
the
Multi-Span Configuration
dialog box depend upon the type(s) of the
Spans selected. For example, if you select two T1 PRI Spans, the
General
,
Preferences
,
Telephony
,
Global Line Settings
,
PRI
, and
T1 Setup
tabs are displayed. If you select one PRI Span and one non-PRI Span, only
the
General
,
Preferences
,
Telephony
, and
Global Line Settings
tabs are displayed, because these are the only values in common between
the types of Spans selected..
To open the Span Configuration dialog box
In the
Platform Configuration
subtree of the Performance Manager
tree pane, right-click the Span, and then click
Edit Span(s)
.
When you select more than one Span to configure at the same time, the
Multi-Span Configuration
dialog box appears. The following buttons
appear on the
Multi-Span Configuration
dialog box:
This button indicates a configuration item is set the same for all
selected Spans and the field is editable.
This button indicates a configuration item is not currently set the
same for all selected Spans, and the field is grayed out. If you want to set
the item the same for all selected Spans, click the button to enable the field
to be edited.
