Link-to-Link Call Routing
Link-to-link call routing lets users route all SVC calls coming in on one X.25 link to
another X.25 link. By using X.25 link-to-link call routing, it is now possible to create a
default route for all calls from a specified X.25 link. The alias for the default link-to-link
route can route all calls destined for the same link. On previous versions of AI296,
users had to create an alias for each unique called address.
Performance Monitoring, Maintenance, Troubleshooting
Shell and winslc commands let users handle performance monitoring, maintenance,
and troubleshooting for AI296.
Remote and Local Configuration
AI296 can be configured from AI198 TM by accessing the AI198 menu system. AI198 is
accessible using a Telnet session or by plugging a terminal into the AI198 Craft port.
Simultaneous Connections
AI296 supports up to 1024 simultaneous X.25 to IP and/or IP to X.25 virtual
connections. It supports 512 simultaneous X.25 to X.25 virtual connections or child
connections. These connections may be distributed in any combination across the 16
available serial ports on AI296.
Single Alias Translation
Single alias translation allows routing a call from an incoming link on one AI296 to an
outgoing link on a second AI296/AI232
TM /AIscout TM with a single alias. Generally, this
feature is used to route an X.25 connection across two AI296/AI232/AIscout cards
using TCP/IP.
SNMP Manageability
AI296 supports configuration using SNMP as well as monitoring. SNMP traps are
generated by AI296 and are sent to all the management stations that exist in the trap
table.
Standalone Configuration
AI296 operates as a standalone card when it is installed in the AIswitch series 110
chassis. Standalone mode lets AI296 function without dependence on AI198 for
configuration and management. Refer to
Appendix B: Standalone Mode and Switch
Mode for more details.
