<Enter> at the prompts for the username and password. Otherwise, type your username and press <Enter>, then type your password and press <Enter>. The Main Menu appears after you log in and provides access to all functions for the 9161: setup, diagnostics, and reports. See Table Error! Reference source not found..
Managing the 9161 You can manage the hardware and software for the 9161, including communication access. Configure the 9161 for the System The System Information screen provides various categories of optional information that system administrators may track. To access the System Information screen, and follow these steps: 1.
Manage the Date and Time An accurate date and time in the 9161 assures accuracy for events listed in the System Log and for traps and alarms sent to the system administrator. You can choose either of two methods for setting the date and time, depending on your access to an external network and your need for accuracy.
SNTP Server IP Address: Enter the address for the server; 0.0.0.0 indicates no server • Time Resync Interval in hours: Set how often, in hours, that the 9161 tries to synchronize its time to the Sntp server; Range is 0 (attempt to synchronize at bootup, only) to 24 (once daily) •...
9161 Traps Log, but do not trigger alarms. Use the Trap Configuration screen to view the current configuration and to enable or disable traps for the 9161. For a list of events that trigger traps, see Table Error! Reference source not found.. To set up the traps, follow these steps: 1.
Use the Management Packet Control screen to enable or disable transmission of management packets through any specific port on the 9161. If you disable a port, that limits that port to only network traffic, the port cannot receive or send any packets that would manage the 9161. To access the Management Packets Filter screen, follow these steps: 1.
" appears, you can log on in a regular VT100 session, access the Transfer complete Utilities menu, and type 4, Swap Banks" to reset the 9161 and start using the new software. Managing Security To effectively provide system security for a variety of network applications, the 9161 works with SNMPv3.
You can set up an account for a user, whether another supervisor, operator, or observer, to access the 9161. You can also update or delete usernames or permissions. Settings for certain values for some parameters, such as SNMPv3 Authentication and Privacy Protocols, can determine or limit which values you can set for other parameters.

When STP is enabled, the 9161 monitors the incoming data packets and periodically sends Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDU). STP monitors the incoming BPDUs to detect any loops. If the same BPDU arrives on two ports, STP blocks one port to remove the loop.
ID tag as it exits a port. The customer's tag for a VLAN is assigned through the VLAN; the double (service provider's) tag is derived from the PVID and assigned before the packet exits the 9161. See Figure Error! Reference source not found. and follow these guidelines: •...
Check and Update Port Information The Port Information screen shows the current conditions for all ports in the 9161 with options to view parameters and statistics for specific ports. Configuration information includes the model number, description, and revision, the serial number, and link, remote fault, and physical status. To access the Port Information screen, follow these steps: 1.

Use the Global Spanning Tree Report screen to view Global STP parameters and interface statistics and status for the 9161. To access the Global Spanning Tree Report screen, follow these steps: 1. From the Switch Configuration menu, type 3, "Global Spanning Tree Report," and press <Enter>.
The Static ARP table lets you set or change specific IP and MAC addresses for up to 10 ports. The Dynamic ARP table lists currently-assigned IP and MAC addresses for various 9161 ports. To view, set, or remove a static ARP address, follow these steps: 1.
Measure Transmitter Output Power To measure the output power, follow these steps: 1. Clean the connectors on the fiber optic test cable, then plug it in to the Tx connector on the 9161. 2. Warm up each component for at least 30 minutes.
Measure optical fiber links at the shortest wavelength of operation to determine the limiting factor in the loss budget. Each device that transmits to an 9161 has a loss budget that is specified by the manufacturer and recorded on a data sheet provided with the equipment. That loss budget must be greater than the total of the measured loss of the fiber link and the attenuation of the 9161s.
The fiber optic cable is within the specifications and loss budget of the optic interface module. • The line length between the 9161 and the remote link does not exceed the allowable loss budget or overdrive limit. • All host modules in the link are turned on.
Test Latency and Jitter If a fault occurs on a connection, use the Latency/Jitter Test to set up test conditions and view test results for troubleshooting the 9161. To test latency and jitter, follow these steps: 1. From the Diagnostics menu, type , "Latency/Jitter Test,"...
