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.
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.

2 • Home Introduction This chapter describes the window—the first that you see after logging into the DACS (see figure 3). From , you can monitor current systems status, save any system configuration changes, or reset the system without power-cycling the DACS. Note Clicking on the link in the...
% CPU Idle (boxIdleTime) This is an indication of the amount of system CPU power which is not being utilized by the Model 3092. The return value is a percentage of free CPU cycles since the last time the variable was read.
2 • Home Immediate Actions There are several immediate actions (see figure 5) in superuser mode which will cause the DACS to operate according to the descriptions in the following sections. Record Current Configuration (storeConfig(1)) This feature saves the current configuration in permanent FLASH memory. In other words, configuration changes made in the subsystem web pages become permanent when you select 5H.RUG &XUUHQW &RQILJXUDWLRQ .
3 • Import/Export Introduction The Import/Export function enables you to make a backup (or export) copy of your DACS’s configuration parameters. By exporting the configurations, the saved files can quickly be loaded, or imported, into a replace- ment DACS—greatly speeding up the installation process should an DACS need replacing. Note All actions for Import/Export require superuser access privileges.
Page 29
3 • Import/Export To export the flash configuration, click on the link on the main page. The DACS will display text configuration information resembling that shown in figure 7.
3 • Import/Export 6DYH To save the displayed data as a text file, select the option on your browser (see figure 8). For example, )LOH 6DYH $V under Netscape, select . A dialog box will display enabling you to save the contents of the export >...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. •...
5 • DS0 Mapping Introduction One of the remote locations is the CPE’s iDSL modem. The second remote location is typically connected through some WAN port’s time slots. For communication between these remote locations they shall be con- nected together within the DACS. These connections are configured in the DS0 mapping window. 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.
5 • DS0 Mapping The "slots" input identifies the DS0 channels—each DS0 channel is 64 kbps—that you would like to con- nect. Each iDSL modem has up to 2 DS0 channels and 1 16 kbps channel. Each time slot in a T1 or E1 WAN port has 24 or 31 DS0 channels, respectively.
Page 43
5 • DS0 Mapping Example #3: To connect two iDSL modems together, such as iDSL modem #6, timeslots 1 – 2, to iDSL modem #20, timeslots 1 – 2, input the following string: iDSL:6:1-2/iDSL:20:1-2...
6 • Clocking Introduction Click on in the Configuration Menu to display the main window (see figure 15). The Clocking window is where the primary and secondary clocking sources that synchronize all DS0 channels are configured. The DACS uses a single clock source for all DS0 channels. You select the clock for the DS0 channels from the following clock sources: •...
• external(300)—The external clock source connected to the 3-position terminal block on the rear of the 3092 Multiplexer is the clock source Fallback Reference (daxClockFallbackRef) The fallback reference enables the configuration of a back-up clock reference should the main reference fail.

7 • iDSL Port Configuration iDSL Port Information Page window Clicking on any port number in the shows port information for a single port (see Figure 17). The window is divided into , and sections. iDSL Port Status The iDSL port status section displays configuration and current status information for the specified port. •...
3.Once the port gains link status, the 3092 begins looking for ES and SES. 4.Upon receiving 10 consecutive SES or a line down indication, the 3092 will begin reporting UAS. The 3092 will not increment ES or SES during the UAS count.
Page 55
7 • iDSL Port Configuration • - Circuit ID is the user-defined field that allow the user to enter an ASCII Identifica- tion Name to represent the iDSL port. The name may include up to 40 ASCII characters.
8 • Ethernet Introduction The DACS provides management and statistical information in the window (see figure 19). Most of the descriptions for these MIB variables are from RFC 1643. Detailed information regarding the SNMP MIB II variables may be downloaded from RFC 1643, Definitions of Managed Objects for the Ethernet-like Interface Types.
8 • Ethernet ifOutUcastPkts, ifOutMulticastPkts, or ifOutBroadcastPkts, and is not counted by the corresponding instance of the dot3StatsMultipleCollisionFrames object." Multiple Collision Frames (dot3StatsMultipleCollisionFrames) The number of successfully transmitted frames for which transmission is inhibited by more than one colli- sion. A frame that is counted by an instance of this object is also counted by the corresponding instance of either the ifOutUcastPkts, ifOutMulticastPkts, or ifOutBroadcastPkts, and is not counted by the correspond- ing instance of the dot3StatsSingleCollisionFrames object."...
8 • Ethernet Other Received Errors (dot3StatsInternalMacReceiveErrors) The number of frames in which reception fails due to an internal MAC sublayer receive error. A frame is only counted if it is not counted by either the dot3StatsFrameTooLongs object, the dot3StatsAlignmentErrors object, or the dot3StatsFCSErrors object.

The DACS enables 20 separate filters to be defined, of which up to 10 can be used during a single user connec- tion. Since the IP connections in the 3092 are only for the superuser and the monitor user, these will be the only two users.
Page 63
9 • Filter IP After entering an ID number and name, click on the name of the filter to display the filter parameters window (see figure 21). The configurable filter parameters are : • Name (filterIpName) • Direction (filterIpDirection) • Action (filterIpAction) •...
9 • Filter IP The following sections provide detailed descriptions of the configurable filter IP parameters. Name (filterIpName) This is the name of the filter Direction (filterIpDirection) Specifies the direction of the filter (that is, whether it applies to data packets inbound or outbound from the DACS).
9 • Filter IP Destination Mask (filterIpDestinationMask) This is the destination mask used when comparing a packet’s destination address. Bit positions that are set to 1 will be compared and 0’s will be ignored. Thus, a setting of 0.0.0.0 will have the effect of disabling destination IP address comparison.
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).
[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.
10 • ICMP ICMP source quench message back to the sending device. A host may send this messages if packets arrive too fast to be processed or if there is network congestion. The source quench message is a request to reduce the rate at which the source is sending traffic.

11 • IP Introduction The IP (Internet Protocol) window lists IP statistics and parameters, and enables you to modify IP settings. Click on under the to display the window. IP main window All items described in this chapter are defined in RFC 1213: Management Information Base for Network Man- agement of TCP/IP-based internets: MIB-II.
11 • IP Forwarding (ipForwarding) The indication of whether this entity is acting as an IP gateway in respect to the forwarding of datagrams received by, but not addressed to, this entity. IP gateways forward datagrams, IP hosts do not (except those source-routed via the host).
11 • IP Note The Discarded w/No Errors counter does not include any datagrams discarded while awaiting re-assembly. Total Deliveries (ipInDelivers) The total number of input datagrams successfully delivered to IP user-protocols (including ICMP). Out Requests (ipOutRequests) The total number of IP datagrams which local IP user-protocols (including ICMP) supplied to IP in requests for transmission.
11 • IP # Fragmented OK (ipFragOKs) The number of IP datagrams that have been successfully fragmented at this entity. # Fragmented Failed (ipFragFails) The number of IP datagrams that have been discarded because they required fragmenting at this entity, but were not fragmented because their Don’t Fragment option was set.
11 • IP Addressing Information The IP addressing Information window (see figure 25) is where you can view the default address for outgoing IP datagrams, the local or loopback address of the box, and the IP address of the box as defined in Chapter 16, “System”.
11 • IP Routing Information The IP Routing Information window (see figure 27) displays information required to route IP datagrams, including the IP address, subnet mask, next-hop router, and interface for each network interface defined in the DACS. The IP Routing Information window also has a link to the O/S forwarding table where the forwarding param- eters are displayed (“O/S forwarding table window”...
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.
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.
11 • IP • direct(3)—route to directly connected (sub-)network • indirect(4)—route to a non-local host/network/sub-network Note The values direct(3) and indirect(4) refer to the notion of direct and indirect routing in the IP architecture. 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.
11 • IP Seconds Since Updated (ipRouteAge) The number of seconds since this route was last updated or otherwise determined to be correct. Tag (RouteTag) An identifier associated with the route. This can have different meanings depending on the protocol. For exam- ple, this gives the tag that was passed with a learned RIP route.
11 • IP Net Address (ipNetToMediaNetAddress) The IP address corresponding to the media-dependent physical address. Physical (ipNetToMediaPhysAddress) The media-dependent physical address. Type (ipNetToMediaType) The type of mapping. Setting this object to the value invalid(2) has the effect of invalidating the corresponding entry in the ipNetToMediaTable.

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is in the Transport layer of the OSI model and sits on top of IP. It is one of the more widely used protocols among the TCP/IP suite. The TCP subsystem web pages of the 3092 DACS provides management and statistical information on TCP.
12 • TCP Maximum Connections (tcpMaxConn) The limit on the total number of TCP connections the entity can support. In entities where the maximum number of connections is dynamic, this object should contain the value -1. Active Opens (tcpActiveOpens) The number of times TCP connections have made a direct transition to the SYN-SENT state from the CLOSED state.
12 • TCP TCP (Details) From this screen you can view port details for remote and local TCP connections (see figure 32). Local Port (tcpConnLocalPort) The local port number for this TCP connection. Remote Address (tcpConnRemAddress) The remote IP address for this TCP connection. Remote Port (tcpConnRemPort) The remote port number for this TCP connection.
