Inserting new board
in free slot
Board is integrated into the system according to the rules for initial
startup (Page 4-156).
●
System with default numbering plan
The station numbers from the new board are appended (consec-
utively and in ascending order) to the numbers already assigned.
●
System with modified numbering plan
The station numbers on the new board can be in any order.
Using HiPath 3000 Manager E or Assistant T, you can assign a spe-
cific station to a port. If the number is already assigned to a different
object, you can switch both numbers.
Replacing board with
same or under
equipped board type
Board is activated. The same station range is used.
Replacing board with
over-equipped board
of same type
Board is activated. The old station range is activated and the ports as-
sociated with the new board are inserted at the end. The ports are split
if there is no contiguous station range available.
In the case of subscriber line modules, you can use HiPath 3000 Man-
ager E to retain the old station data by copying it to the new board, or
you can delete it and reset the default state. Copying is not possible
for trunk boards.
