    1 • Introduction Introduction You may configure the digital cross connect (DACS) by using its internal HTTP/HTML Administration Pages. However, to enter into the HTTP/HTML pages, you must first define the LAN Address Technique, LAN IP Address, and LAN Subnet Mask for the DACS. If you have not done so, please refer to the Getting Started Guide that came with your DACS.
  • Page 21: Saving Http/Html Object Changes

    1 • Introduction Saving HTTP/HTML Object Changes Sometimes you will need to save changes that you have made in the HTTP/HTML pages. Do the following to make changes to read/write variables: 1. Select the appropriate screen. 2. Make changes to the desired parameter. 6XEPLW 4XHU\ 3.

    4 • Alarms Introduction The DACS 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 of equipment failures (for example, a power supply failure) or T1/E1 port malfunctions.
  • Page 33 4 • Alarms The iDSL Multiplexer has four methods to notify an alarm condition: 1. 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 34: Alarm Response Outputs

    4 • Alarms Alarm Response Outputs Alarm Response Outputs display the current setting for handling alarm notification via the different Alarm Response Outputs. To change the Alarm Response Outputs parameters, refer to “Alarm Parameters” on page 33. The relay of the Alarm Port on the rear of the chassis will be activated when a major, minor, or both major and minor alarm is generated.
  • Page 35: Alarm Time

    4 • Alarms column displays the number of seconds the alarm has been activated. column indicates how many times the alarm has occurred and is useful for monitoring self- clearing alarms. For testing purposes, clicking the *HQHUDWH $ODUP button next to each alarm name will cause that alarm con- dition to be activated.
  • Page 36: Relay Response

    4 • Alarms • Clear Alarm—Clearing the alarm resets the alarm, resets Time Since Alarm to 0.00 seconds and resets Alarm Count to 0 (zero). Types of Alarms • Box Alarm Group Box: Over Temperature—When the internal box temperature exceeds the temperature threshold under , an alarm will be generated.
  • Page 37: Major Alarm Snmp Trap Ip [Address] (Majorsyslogpriority)

    4 • Alarms Major Alarm SNMP Trap IP [address] (majorSyslogPriority) This parameter functions in the same manner as the Minor Alarm SNMP Trap IP [address] except it applies to major alarms. Upon the occurrence of a major alarm, an SNMP Trap message is sent to a host system (or a management station).
  • Page 38 4 • Alarms There are 83 alarms that can be independently configured to generate alarm messages. Each alarm item can be set for one of the following severity levels: • Ignore(0)—Do not generate an alarm. • Minor(1)—Generate a minor alarm that will not reset until the administrator manually clears it. •...

The following types of internal connections are available: •...

    Note that there are only four t1-e1 ports so you may not select t1-e1 ports 5 - 24. This will generate an error in the system. Since there are 24 iDSL modems within the 3092, you may choose any of the 24 ports.

    Both gateways (routers) and hosts can send ICMP messages. Total Received (icmpInMsgs) The total number of ICMP messages which the 3092 Multiplexer has received. Note that this counter includes all those counted by icmpInErrors (see “w/Errors (icmpInErrors, icmpOutErrors)” on page 67).
  • Page 69: Total Sent [Imcpoutmsgs]

    [icmpOutErrors] The number of ICMP messages which the Model 3092 did not send due to problems discovered within ICMP such as a lack of buffers. It does not include errors discovered outside the ICMP layer like the inability of IP to route the resultant datagram.

    11 • IP Mask (ipRouteMask) Indicates the mask to be logical-ANDed with the destination address before being compared to the value in the ipRouteDest field. For those systems that do not support arbitrary subnet masks, an agent constructs the value of the ipRouteMask by determining whether the value of the corresponding ipRouteDest field belongs to a Class A, B, or C network, and then using the appropriate mask from table 3.
  • Page 80: O/S Forwarding Table Window

    11 • IP O/S forwarding table window The O/S forwarding table window lists forwarding information for all routes. Destination (ipRouteDest) The destination IP address of this route. An entry with a value of 0.0.0.0 is considered a default route. Multiple routes to a single destination can appear in the table, but access to such multiple entries is dependent on the table-access mechanisms defined by the network management protocol in use.

Setting this object to the value invalid(2) has the effect of invalidating the corresponding entry in the ipRouteTable object.

    11 • IP IP Routing Destination window The IP Routing Destination window (see figure 29) shows next-hop routing information. Route Destination (ipRouteDest) The destination IP address of this route. An entry with a value of 0.0.0.0 is considered a default route. Multiple routes to a single destination can appear in the table, but access to such multiple entries is dependent on the table-access mechanisms defined by the network management protocol in use.
