Figure 1-2 shows the procedure for NE initialization.
Figure 1-2 NE Initialization Procedure
1.2 Querying the Temporary External IP Address of the

M2SNP Board
The IP address used for communication between NEs is called an external address. A
temporary external IP address has been allocated for the SNP board before equipment
delivery. The temporary external IP must be replaced by the planned external IP address
on site. The external temporary address of the M2SNP board is used as the IP address
of the new NE.
Prerequisite
The IP address of the EMS server and the temporary external IP address of the SNP board
belong to the same network segment.

Chapter 1 NE Initialization
Context
The EIC board is the external interface board of a shelf. Only after the EMS server is
connected to the NX41 or DX41 shelf through the ETH1 or ETH2 port of the EIC board,
can the EMS query the temporary external IP address of the SNP board.
Steps
1. Press the TST button of the EIC board for 5 seconds. When the NOM indicator of the
EIC board quickly flashes, release the TST button.
Note:
If the NOM and ALM indicators of the M2SNP board flash at the same time, and
the internal IP address 192.168.1.4 of the M2SNP board can be pinged successfully,
VLANs are converged successfully.
2. On the EMS server, select Start > Run. A dialog box is displayed. Enter cmd and
press Enter. The DOS command window is displayed.
3. In the DOS command window, enter the telnet 192.168.1.4 9023 command, see Figure
