The service package module enables you to configure services on an NE in a one-click manner. This configuration method is easier and quicker. The OptiX OSN 1800 supports two types of service packages: GE service package and GE/STM-1 integrated service package. The LQM, LQM2, and LWX2 boards support the function of configuring services in service package mode.
Prerequisite
Tools, Meters, and Materials
Web LCT or T2000
Background Information
You can select the required service package during the deployment. Then, you can run the commands in the service package to configure services and query information the service package.
You can run a command to manually apply a service package to an NE. In this manner, the services on all the service boards on this NE are configured automatically. In the process of applying a service package to an NE, the original configurations on the NE are deleted and the configuration commands are then executed. A service package actually contains a series of configuration commands. Some of these configuration commands are used for configuring cross- connections, and the other are used for configuring service types for optical interfaces. There is an exception that a service rate other than service type is configured for an optical interface in the case of the LWX2 board.
Table 5-7 lists the service configurations for the LQM board in service package mode.

Precautions
CAUTION
In the case of the LQM2 board, after the configuration commands in a service package are executed, a direct cross-connection between optical interface 3 and optical interface 4 is configured automatically. In the case of the LWX2 and LQM boards, the configuration commands in a service package cannot be used to create any cross-connection.
CAUTION
Precautions for configuring services in service package mode
l Service packages do not support expansion based on the existing services. If expansion is required, you need to delete the existing services before configuring services in service package mode.
l In the process of applying a service package to an NE, the configurations on all boards on this NE are deleted and the service package is then implemented.
l If the NE is reset in the process of configuring scripts, you need to restart the service package before you configure services.
CAUTION
In the case of the LQM2 board, take the following precautions before configuring services in service package mode:
l After configuring services in service package mode, if one of optical interfaces 3 to 6 on the LQM2 board needs to access another type of service, you need to reconfigure the service type manually for this optical interface. Otherwise, the service is unavailable.
l If the current working mode of the LQM2 board is the 2LQM mode, the working mode of the board automatically changes to AP8 after service types are configured for the board in service package mode.
Procedure
1. Select the NE in the NE Explorer and choose Configuration > Service Package from the Function Tree.
2. Click Query to view the existing service package types.
3. Select Package Type according to the service planning requirement and then click Start. A dialog box is displayed, indicating that the operation is successful. Click OK.
4. Optional: To view the cross-connections created after the service package is configured, select the NE in the NE Explorer and then choose Configuration > Electrical Cross-Connection Service Management from the Function Tree; to view the attributes of an optical interface on the board, select the board in the NE Explorer and then choose Configuration > WDM Interface from the Function Tree.
l Operations on the T2000
1. Select the NE in the NE Explorer and choose Configuration > Service Package from the Function Tree.
2. Click Query to view the existing service package types.
3. Select Package Type according to the service planning requirement and then click Start. A dialog box is displayed, indicating that the operation is successful. Click OK.
The precautions for the operations on the T2000 are the same as those on the Web LCT.
4. After configuring the service package, upload the NE data. For details about uploading the NE data, see B.13.2 Uploading the NE Data.
5. Optional: To view the cross-connections created after the service package is configured, select the NE in the NE Explorer and then choose Configuration > WDM Service Management from the Function Tree; to view the attributes of an optical interface on the board, select the board in the NE Explorer and then choose Configuration > WDM Interface from the Function Tree.
