Accessing the system

Access through an OTM Server
Access through an SDI system terminal or OTM System

Maintenance commands are used to disable, enable, and test system
components. They allow faulty equipment to be disabled to prepare for
replacement. After the faulty equipment is replaced, the new equipment can
then be tested and enabled.
To perform system maintenance on the CS 1000E, use the following:
• OTM Server or OTM Client PC using a graphics-based user interface
that incorporates icons, pull-down menus and a mouse.
• SDI system terminal using command line inputs or OTM System
Terminal Overlay Passthru/VT220.
• Element Manager. For details on Element Manager, refer to
Signaling Server: Installation and Configuration (553-3001-212).
• Maintenance Telephone.
See Optivity Telephony Manager: System Administration (553-3001-330) for
details on how to access the system with OTM.
Send maintenance commands and receive system messages by accessing the
Call Server or MG 1000T Core through an RS-232 device, such as a VDT or
TTY.
On the Call Server, the device can be connected through the Terminal Server
or through a Com port
Note: If the RS-232 device is connected directly to the Call Server Com
port, a separate terminal is required to communicate with each Call
Server in the Core.
On the MG 1000T Core, the device is connected directly to the Media
Gateway SDI port using the NTBK48 three-port cable. (See
