DCSU 2911 E1 Craft Interface
This chapter describes how to configure, operate, and test the
DCSU 2911 E1 parameters using the Craft interface. If you are
connecting to T1 circuits, refer to Chapter 3, DCSU 2911 T1 Craft
Interface. If you are using an NCM 2000 on the shelf, refer to the
NCM 2000 User Manual.
The Craft interface is accessible via a direct cable connection from
the front panel to an ASCII terminal or PC running a terminal
emulator program. The DCSU 2911 ASCII terminal interface is not
supported via Telnet.
NOTE: There may be options displayed on the ASCII screen that will not be
usable for your particular equipment configuration. Also, note that
the ASCII terminal interface does not have an error checking
facility. Therefore, be extremely careful about what parameters or
data you enter at the prompts.
The following major functions are available through the ASCII
interface:
• Administering nodes
• Configuring the network ports, CPE ports, and timing
parameters
• Performing diagnostics on network and CPE ports
• Evaluating performance and status
• Monitoring alarms
In addition to the ASCII terminal interface, you can use Verilink’s
Node Manager—an interactive graphical user interface (GUI)
management software package—to configure the applications
module. For more information, see the Node Manager for Windows
95 User Manual.
