  • Page 2: Radio And Tv Interference

    Radio and TV Interference The LRA2900A Series generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions—may cause interference to radio and television reception. The LRA2900A Series has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to pro- vide reasonable protection from such interference in a commercial installation.
  • Page 3: Fcc Compliance

    file a complaint with the FCC. If you have any trouble operating the LRA2900A Series, please contact Black Box Technical Support at 724-746-5500. The telephone company may ask you to disconnect the equipment from the telephone network until the problem has been corrected or until you are certain that the LRA2900A Series is not malfunctioning.

    4 • Alarms Model LRA2900A RAS Administrators’ Reference Guide Introduction The access server has an extensive alarm reporting system which enables users to configure, monitor, and test major and minor alarms. The alarm system can be set to notify if equipment fails (for example, a power supply failure) or if a T1/E1/PRI port malfunctions.
  • Page 48: Alarm Response Outputs

    Model LRA2900A RAS Administrators’ Reference Guide 4 • Alarms The access server has three methods to notify of an alarm condition: • Front panel LED—The front panel ALARM LED has three states that indicate the presence and severity of an alarm. The states are: Off—No alarm present Solid—Minor alarm Flashing—Major alarm.
  • Page 49: Minor Alarm Syslog Priority (Minsyslogpriority)

    4 • Alarms Model LRA2900A RAS Administrators’ Reference Guide Minor Alarm Syslog Priority (minSyslogPriority) Displays the SYSLOG priority of the minor alarm SYSLOG message. If the minimum priority for SYSLOG daemon (set under the System Log link) is less than this value, the SYSLOG daemon will receive the minor alarm SYSLOG message.
  • Page 50: Clear Alarm

    Model LRA2900A RAS Administrators’ Reference Guide 4 • Alarms Clear Alarm Clicking the Clear Alarm button resets the alarm to a non-alarm condition. Clear Alarm resets Alarm Time to 0.0 seconds, and resets the Alarm Count to 0. Modify Response—Configuring the alarm response system The alarm response outputs only effect external notification via SYSLOG/SNMP as the front panel ALARM LED and the web administration pages will always indicate an alarm condition.

RADIUS also allows for the recording of accounting informa- tion. Secondary Accounting Address (auSecondaryAcctAddress) When using a remote accounting server (such as RADIUS Accounting) this variable provides the IP address of the accounting server.

    Model LRA2900A RAS Administrators’ Reference Guide 5 • Authentication Figure 15. Static User Identification setup Adding Static Users ID (suID) Identifies the entry in the table of users. For the next user, select the next unused number. If you select a num- ber that is already displayed in the Static User Identification table, you will overwrite a current entry in user database.
  • Page 61: Modify Static User

    5 • Authentication Model LRA2900A RAS Administrators’ Reference Guide Note If a user attempts to login in using a different service than the one he or she has been provided, the access server will reject the user. The exception to this is CPPP which will revert to PPP if CPPP is not available on the client.

The access server uses a single clock source for all WAN ports. Therefore, to avoid data loss caused by variations in network timing, each access server should terminate WAN connections from a single timing provider.
