Figure 7-30 Circuit Operations Command Menu
Commands to Setup, Takedown, Reset, Delete, View the Status, and display the
Properties for the circuit are provided. This menu is convenient for quickly
executing a single command for a circuit. Another source that provides ready
access to all of these commands together with a means of monitoring the status
of a circuit is the Detailed Status window. From the drop-down circuit
command menu, select View Status to open this window.
The Reset function is used to clear allocated bandwidth for a circuit when
communications have been lost between the Hub and the Remote. For example,
an SNG truck that leaves a site without first informing the Hub operator that
transmission over the circuit has been terminated. This operation is similar to
resetting an InBand link and should be used with caution.
The circuit Delete command is only allowed when the circuit is in a parked
state.
Setup and Status Views
Examples of the Setup and Status windows for each circuit type are provided
below.
Note that for SNMP modems, only the bit rate parameter can be modified in the
Setup window. For Vipersat-enabled modems, the FEC and modulation can be
modified as well (Extra Settings/Additional Parameters).
