Creating board keyword files

A board keyword file contains a list of parameters and values used to configure a board. One board keyword file is assigned to each board. When oamsys runs, it creates a record for each board in the NMS OAM database.

NMS ISDN and Natural Access install a set of example board keyword files. To create a board keyword file for your setup, edit the appropriate example file installed on the system:

Operating system

Example file location

Windows

\nms\ag\cfg\*.cfg

\nms\cg\cfg\*.cfg

UNIX

/opt/nms/ag/cfg/*.cfg

/opt/nms/cg/cfg/*.cfg


The sample board keyword files are named yyygixzzpi.cfg (except for BRI and NFAS configurations), where:

The following table lists some of the sample board keyword files:

File name

For use with...

agi4e1pi.cfg

AG 4000 E1 and AG 4040 E1

agi4t1pi.cfg

AG 4000 T1 and AG 4040 T1

cgi6e1.cfg

CG 6000 E1

cgi6t1.cfg

CG 6000 T1

aginfas.cfg

NFAS support for all AG T1 boards

cginfas.cfg

NFAS support for all CG T1 boards

agpi2bri.cfg

AG 2000-BRI


You can use the same board keyword file for multiple boards if the boards' configurations are identical (for example, both are CG 6000C T1 boards).

Sample board keyword files for the CG 6100C board and the CG 6500C board start with c61... and c65..., respectively.

For more information about board keyword files, refer to the NMS OAM System User's Manual.
