Verilink DIDCSU 2912 User Manual 4-1
Chapter
4
DIDCSU E1 Version
This chapter describes how to configure and administer the
DIDCSU 2912 E1 parameters using the NCM 2000 Craft interface.
For T1 circuits, refer to Chapter 3, “
DIDCSU T1 Version ”.
The following major functions are available through the Craft
interface:
• Administering nodes
• Configuring the E1 ports, data ports, and timing parameters
• Performing diagnostics on network and data ports
• Evaluating performance and status
• Monitoring alarms
• Building, editing, and viewing circuit information
In addition to the NCM Craft terminal interface, you can use
Verilink’s Node Manager—an interactive graphical user interface
(GUI) management software package—to configure a node equipped
with an NCM module. For more information, see the Node Manager
User Manual.
Connecting to the Node
Use the following method to connect to the node which contains
the DIDCSU 2912.
Cable Connection Connect the modular (RJ-11) end of the Craft cable (P/N 458-
102119-008) to the port labeled
LOCAL on the front panel of the NCM
controller module. Connect the other end of the Craft cable to your
PC or terminal.
NOTE: This manual assumes the DIDCSU 2912 is part of a node of
Verilink modules which is managed by an NCM 2000. The
DIDCSU 2912 can also be used as a standalone module. In
that case the craft cable is connected directly to the DIDCSU
module. When a DIDCSU is part of a node that is managed by
an NCM, do not connect directly to the DIDCSU module local
port for any reason other than changing the ACP bus
selection, if required.
