Connecting the BSC6900 to the M2000

This describes how to connect the BSC6900 to the M2000 for the centralized management.

The Operation and Maintenance (OM) network has passed commissioning. The M2000 is operational. The version of the M2000 is compatible with that of the BSC6900.

Context
l

If the BSC6900 and the M2000 are in the same network segment, you need not configure the IP route to the M2000. If the BSC6900 and the M2000 are not in the same network segment, you need to configure the IP route to the M2000.

Procedure
Step 1 Connect the BSC6900 to the OM network. 1. 2. Connect one end of the straight-through cable to the LAN Switch that is connected to the BSC6900. Connect the other end of the straight-through cable to the network device, for example, a hub or a router. Run the MML command LST OMUIPRT to check whether the route to the M2000 is configured on the OMU.
l

Step 2 Configure the IP route from the BSC6900 to the M2000. 1.

If the values of Destination Network Address, Destination Address Mask, and Forward Route Address in the result are consistent with the planed addresses, then you can infer that the BSC6900 already has a route to the M2000. Go to Step 2.3. If the Destination Network Address, Destination Address Mask, and Forward Route Address in the result are not consistent with the planed addresses, then you can infer that the BSC6900 does not have a route to the M2000. Go to Step 2.2.

2. 3.
Issue 01 (2009-07-30)

Run the MML command ADD OMUIPRT to configure the route from the BSC6900 to the M2000. Verify the configuration of the route from the BSC6900 to the router.
