Provisioning - Overview

Provisioning includes altering the state of an existing priority, service, or capability. Taking spans IN and OUT of service would be considered provisioning. The topic below describes what can be provisioned and the methods that are employed to accomplish the provisioning. Provisioning on the IMG 2020 can be achieved by selecting any of the provisioning buttons located within Web GUI object pane. An example of the provisioning buttons are displayed in the screen capture below. Refer to information below.
