T1 Network Monitoring Overview
Access Manager 2000 User Manual 5 -5
To communicate with Verilink CSUs from the Access Man ager2000
software package, you must perform these basic sequenced steps:
1.
Menu used: Main / Utilities / Installation / Comlines
This determines how Access Manager and the node will
communicate.
Depending on your equipment, you have up to four connection
options: direct, modem, stat mux, and the X.25 PAD.
2.
Menu used: Main / Configuration / Node / Add
Functionally, a node is the point of access between the network
manager and CSUs. Each CSU must have a parent node.
In a near end node, a node controller serves as the parent node for
each CSU on its shelf (or shelves).
Configure all node parameters, except alarm reporting. Otherwise,
you’ll be interrupted by alarm messages incidentally caused by the
configuration process.
When you save the node definition, the configuration is sent over the
comline to the node controller.
