Table 11-4 Conditional Node Commissioning Parameters
Parameter
Description
MSAID format
(msaid-format)
If this node is part of a DCS application, choose the MSAID format:
•
MSAid-VT-Seq
•
MSAid-VT-GR253
•
MSAid-VTG-VT
See the TransNav Management System GUI Guide, Section 7—

page 7-3 for explanations of MSAID formats.
Backplane DCN IP
(
bp-dcn-ip
)
Required on each node that is connected or routed to the management
server or on any node with a subtended device.
The backplane DCN Ethernet interface IP address is provided by your
local network administrator and is based on the network topology.
Enter an IP address if this node is connected to the management server
(either directly or through a router) or to a TransAccess product.
See the Traverse Product Overview Guide, Section 2—
Management
System Planning
, Chapter 3—“IP Address Planning,” page 2-11 for
details on assigning IP addresses to network nodes.
Backplane DCN Mask
(
bp-dcn-mask
)
Required for each bp-dcn-ip. This value depends on site practices.
Enter the appropriate address mask of the bp-dcn-ip address.
Backplane DCN Gateway
(
bp-dcn-gw-ip
)
Required for each bp-dcn-ip. This value depends on site practices.
If the node is connected directly to the management server, this address
is the IP gateway of the management server.
If there is a router between the management server and this node, this
address is the IP address of the port on the router connected to the
Ethernet interface on the back of the Traverse node.
EMS IP
(
ems-ip
)
Required if there is a router between this node and the management
server.
This address is the IP address of the TransNav management server. This
address is provided by your local network administrator and is based on
the network topology.
See the Traverse Product Overview Guide, Section 2—
Management
System Planning
, Chapter 3—“IP Address Planning,” page 2-11 for
details on assigning IP addresses to network nodes.
EMS Mask
(
ems-mask
)
Required for each ems-ip. This value depends on site practices.
This address is the address mask of the IP address on the management
server (ems-ip).
EMS Gateway
(
ems-gw-ip
)
Required for each ems-ip. This value depends on site practices.
This address is the IP address of the port on the router connected to the
Ethernet interface on the back of the Traverse shelf. This address is the
same address as bp-dcn-gw-ip.
