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. There are 11 access server items that can be conﬁgured by the user to generate alerts based on the condition of the access server.

Page 44: Minor Alarm Syslog Priority (Minsyslogpriority)
Alarm Name The alarm items are grouped into two categories: system and WAN trunk alarms. The system group category lists access server temperature and power supply status. The WAN category monitors the T1/E1/PRI ports for yellow and red alarms. Alarm Time Alarm Time column displays the number of seconds the alarm has been activated.
Page 45: 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. The following user conﬁgura- tion items can be set to permit external notiﬁcation of access server alarm conditions: Figure 11. Alarm Response System window...

Page 50: Introduction
This section describes the authentication parameters. The access server uses static and/or RADIUS authentication to decide which dial-in users can access the system (refer to Appendix A, “Supported RADIUS Attributes”...
Page 51: The Statistics Section
The total number of authentication attempts requested but denied since the last access server reset. Primary server retries (auPrimaryServerRetrys) The number of times the access server needed to make subsequent requests for a call to the primary RADIUS authentication server.
Page 52: Last Response Time
Validation (auValidation) Selects how the access server will authenticate an incoming call. Select from: • No Validation(0)—Select this to allow un-authenticated calls into the access server, and on to your LAN, using the default service. • static Users(1)—Use the access server internal user database only to authenticate. Static users are simply users and passwords entered into the access server’s internal users database.
Page 53: Host Address (Auhostaddress)
(RADIUS). It is used to encrypt an authentication request and to decrypt an incoming reply from the server. The secret on the access server and the RADIUS server must match and must be 15 or fewer print- able, non space, ASCII characters.
Page 54: Nas Identifier (Aunasidentifier)
Accounting Port (auAcctPort) This is the UDP port on the accounting server speciﬁed in Acct Address that the access server should use to transfer accounting information. RFC 2139 calls out the port of 1813 as the standard RADIUS accounting port.
Page 55: Static User Authentication
(see ﬁgure 15). Static users consist of usernames and passwords entered into the access server’s internal users database. You can have up to 111 static users in the access server database. You must have superuser-level access to make changes to the static users database.

(see “Service (suService)” on page 55). Service Service Port (suServicePort) This is the port number to connect to the service host. If the number is 0, the access server will use the default values for Telnet (port number 23) and RLogin (port number 513). Note...

WAN ports. 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. WAN connections from multiple timing providers can be terminated in the access server if all the providers source their timing from the same stratum clock or if the access server provides the network clock.
Page 61: Main Reference (Daxclockmainref)
Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide 6 • DAX Main Reference (daxClockMainRef) The main reference parameter determines which WAN link will supply the clock for the system. The following settings are available: • none(0)—No clock selection. This would be used in conjunction with either a secondary or slave circuit.
Page 62: Clock Status (Daxclockfailure)
Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide 6 • DAX • netref-2(102)—Use to obtain system timing from a slave circuit. • oscillator(200)—Use internal free-run oscillator for the system clock Clock Status (daxClockFailure) The clock status indicates alarm conditions relating to the system clock. If there are no alarms, the DAX page will indicate No Alarms (see ﬁgure 17 on page 60).

Page 68: Dial In Main Window
The Dial In window displays statistics for individual users. This window shows currently attached users, the users state, and time that the user has been on access server. This window can also display recently disconnected sessions. The following sections explain the meaning of each statistic.
Page 69: Disconnect Reason (Diactterminatereason)
Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide 7 • Dial In Disconnect Reason (diactTerminateReason) The reason a call was disconnected. Modulation (diactModulation) The modulation of the link: • unknown(0) • v21(1)—V.21 modulation • v22(2)—V.22 modulation • v32(3)—V.32 modulation • v34(4)—V.34 modulation •...

The system will go directly to PPP processing. The dial-up user must be conﬁgured for PAP authen- tication. Note If the user trying to connect to the access server is not conﬁgured for PAP he will be disconnected. •...
Page 73: Username Prompt (Diusernameprompt)
Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide 7 • Dial In • textORchapORpap(6)—This setting enables clear text logins or PPP calls using PAP or CHAP authentication. Username Prompt (diUsernamePrompt) This is what will be displayed when the user ﬁrst connects after the Initial Banner is displayed. The string can be up to 39 characters.
Page 74: Default Service Port (Diserviceport)
All packets received on the speciﬁed dial-up link will be forwarded to the speciﬁed gateway. The gateway must be on the same network at the remote access server. This is the default setting that will be used if the setting is not overridden by the RADIUS response for that particular user.
Page 75: Modify Attempts
Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide 7 • Dial In Modify Attempts This portion of the Dial In Modify window (see ﬁgure 22) describes modifying the login attempts parameters for dial in users. Figure 22. Dial In Modify window (modify Attempts, Conﬁguration, and Maximum Time objects) Failure Banner (diFailureBanner) This deﬁnes a message of up to 254 characters in length that will be displayed to a user if authentication fails.
Page 76: Link Compression (Dilinkcompression)
MultiBox enables a user to have multiple connections even if the subsequent call for an additional channel is on a different access server from the originating channel (bundlehead). MultiBox is useful when a single num- ber called by a user accesses multiple T1/E1s and subsequently different access servers.

MultiBox option. Setting the param- eter to disable(0) disables the MultiBox option. If MultiBox is disabled, then acquiring an additional channel will fail if the bundlehead is not on the same access server.

A Frame Relay network consists of endpoints (the access server), frame relay access equipment (bridges, rout- ers, hosts, frame relay access devices) and network devices (switches, network routers, T1/E1 multiplexers). The most popular application is to use the access server as a PoP-in-a-box with a Frame Relay IP connection to the Internet backbone.

“look” like a Frame Relay Network. By setting the LMI Interface to NETWORK, you can connect another Frame Device directly to the access server. This is also the setting if you were to connect two access servers back-to-back without the beneﬁt of an established Frame Relay network.
Page 144: Dlci (Frcircuitdlci)
To conﬁgure a DLCI you will need the DLCI number and the IP address of the far-end router. If you have connected your access server to your provider’s Frame Relay network, you may automatically see one or more DLCIs on the screen. These DLCIs will simply need an IP address to identify the next hop.
Page 145: Committed Burst (Bits) (Frcircuitcommitedburst)
IP Address (FrameIPAddr) As all of the interfaces on the access server run in un-numbered mode, the IP address to enter is that of the far end router. This is not the IP address of the access server. After the IP address is entered, it will appear as a point-to-point link in the IP routing table with this address.
