itor User’s Guide. 7.2 Remote Monitor Software Program 7.2.1 Overview The Access Bank Remote Monitor software interface is used to configure and manage the Access Bank via the RS-232 Management Port. Installed on a local IBM-compatible PC or laptop connected to the RS-232 Management port, Remote Monitor provides a convenient user-friendly software inter- face for configuring, monitoring, and testing the performance of the Access Bank.
Online Help Access Bank: configuration traffic between the PC and the Access Bank, status traffic from the Access Bank to the PC, and alarm report messages from the Access Bank to the PC. The X-modem protocol is used to send/receive data from the Access Bank. A low-priority process resides in the Access Bank to process the X-modem packets and update the internal data structures accordingly.

Select the location defaults and insert the appropriate diskettes when prompted. 7.7 Remote Monitor Screen Hierarchy The Remote Monitor software interface consists of a hierarchy of screens or windows. The following figure presents a simplified functional block diagram of this screen hierarchy.
plate of the FXS-ID card has 12 channel status LEDs and one 4-position DIP switch for selecting from a number of different signaling types. Furthermore, the back plate also contains 12 test switches that can be used to “busy out” each channel individually. On the FXS-ID card itself, each individual channel has a 6-position DIP switch for setting transmit and receive line attenuation.
Setting the FXS Transmit and Receive Levels 8.3.3 Wink Delay Select Wink Delay to translate two-state wink-start signaling toward the T1 network to an FXS ring- ing with delayed wink for proceed-to-send digit indication. Upon detection of an incoming seizure from the T1 network, the AB2 applies ringing voltage to the FXS channel.

If your FXS voice channels require different attenuation level settings than the factory defaults, pro- ceed as follows: 1. Release the two thumbscrews on the AB2 back plate and remove the plate (see Figure 8-2). 2. To remove the FXS-ID slide-in voice card, pull out the two card ejector latches simulta- neously to release the card from the internal connector, then slide the card carefully out from the rear of the AB2 chassis (see Figure 8-2).

Wink-Start to Ground-Start Conversion Switch A POTS Interface This option provides a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) ground-start interface between the Access Bank II - SNMP and the PBX or other phone equipment. This avoids both-way call collisions (“glare”) on PBX trunks and gives the PBX a disconnect signal when the far-end party hangs up.
FXS Signaling Option Descriptions 8.6.1.6 Option 5. Wink-Start to Loop-Start Conversion with ANI/DNIS and Calling Party Disconnect Switch A This option provides a loop-start interface between the AB2 and the PBX for voice mail/phone applications. E&M wink-start signaling and per-channel ringback tones are sent to the T1 line. Ringing voltage is applied immediately after incoming seizure.
LEDs turn a steady RED and normal operation of the FXS-ID voice card is interrupted. Upon request, Carrier Access will provide customized FX signaling options that can include any of the aforementioned options plus others, including answer supervision wink signaling.
FXS Voice Channel Monitoring and Testing The channel test switches on the FXS-ID back plate can be used to send a 4 second continuous ring- ing voltage to the tip and ring pair of each FXS voice channel. You can check the operation of an individual voice channel by attaching a test telephone to the Tip and Ring pair of a particular channel at the punchdown block or RJ-11 Harmonica, then switching ON the appropriate channel test switch to test that channel.
8.7.3 “Busying Out” Individual FXS Channels Switching a channel test switch to the ON position has three results on the selected FXS channel: 1. To confirm individual channel circuit integrity, 4 seconds of ringing voltage are sent to the Tip and Ring pair. The Tip is then grounded until the channel test switch is turned to the OFF position (to the right).

provides twelve 2-wire CPE analog loop-start connections to the digital T1 line using the same method used by the FXS voice card, only with the addition of Tip/Ring battery reversal. The FXS interface reverses the polarity of the battery feed towards the customer premise equipment (CPE) in response to the signaling bits coming from the T1 line.
BRFXS/DPO Applications Note: During a two-way call, the CPE -loop battery is reversed. To disconnect the call either the CPE loop current ceases or the network sends A/B bits = 0/0. The reversed state of the CPE loop, however, will be maintained until the network terminates (releases) the call.

14.2 Local/Remote Mode Selection The Access Bank II SNMP comes equipped with two sets of external DIP switches for selecting local or remote control. The DIP switches must be set to the remote software control mode in order to use SNMP, CLI, or GUI management terminals.
SNMPv2, per RFC 1659. 14.3.1 Local and Remote SNMP Management The Access Bank II SNMP provides SNMP management through its Ethernet 10Base-T port. Remote SNMP management is possible over either of the T1 lines within a V.35 user data segment, as shown in Figure 14-1.
Manager can also set thresholds for traps. Traps specify network events and conditions for which the Agent automatically sends a Telnet alarm message with trap data back to the Manager. The Access Bank II SNMP Agent’s principle benefits are the proactive management of V.35 and DSX-1 alarms, performance statistics, and line tests.
14.3.4 Management Information Bases The SNMP agent on Access Bank II SNMP supports the following standard MIB object groups: Table 14-1: Supported Management Information Bases MIB RFC Description Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based: In- RFC1213 ternet MIB-II...
• T1 interface statistics, per RFC 1406 14.3.7 Traps The Access Bank II SNMP agent supports the following standard SNMPv2 defined traps. In the future, enterprise specific traps will be added. Interpretations of the trap values are: coldStart Trap A coldStart(0) trap signifies that the sending protocol entity is reinitializing itself such that the agent's configuration or the protocol entity implementation may be altered.
The user may also employ standard Internet PING function tests to check the connectivity at the IP layer. All features of the Access Bank II SNMP are manageable through the Command Line Interface (CLI) using a VT-100 terminal via the RS-232 port, or using a Telnet terminal session over the Ethernet port.
