Server Card Status

Port status for the Server cards is determined in the same way as Voice and Data cards, with
the possible status values of s (Standby), a (Active), and r (on a Redundant card).
Port status is determined somewhat differently for the PWE3, OC3, BRIDGE and IPR*4
Server cards, as these cards have more logical ports than can be represented on the screen.
5.4.5.1

WAN Card

There are several variations of the WAN card. On the main screen, the status will be shown
for the type of card installed: CEPT for E1 cards, DSX for T1 cards as a line interface unit less
than 655 feet, CSU for T1 mode with less than 6000 feet to repeaters. The status of the
individual ports on the WAN card will display "a" for active, and "s" for standby.

Card Main Screens

Each card in the system has a Card Main Screen associated with it. You can go from the
System Main Screen to any Card Main Screen and configure that card. From a Card Main
Screen, you can access a Test Screen to perform tests on the card, or (in some cases) a
Performance Monitor Screen to view transmission performance data.
Figure 5-14 shows a typical Card Main Screen. The highlighted line at the top of every screen
is the header. It lists the node name of the system, the current card type and abbreviated
description, the card design revision and serial number, and the current system date and time.
The card configuration parameters and current option settings appear in numerous rows and
columns below the header. This region of each screen lists the options on the left and one or
more associated columns of data fields from left to right. You can change the settings in those
fields as required for each card.
The status and data entry change line appears just above the bottom line of the screen. When
you choose a field to edit and press <Enter>, this line shows the currently available option
settings for that field. Make all configuration changes on this line.
