Verilink NCM 2000

Using Telnet with the IP address, you can initiate a Craft interface
session over Ethernet.

NOTE: If, after configuring IP addresses, an error message appears

including the text “sendto: new socket sendto fail:”, there is an

error in the IP addresses used. The Ethernet IP address and the SLIP

IP address must reflect different network segments as per the subnet

mask in use. Correct the error and reset the NCM card to stop the

error messages.

M) ethernet subnet mask

The Ethernet subnet mask is based on the IP address according to
the standard rules for IP address classes (A,B,C etc).

L) slip ip address

Serial Line Interface Protocol (SLIP) is a protocol over which a
Telnet Craft interface session can be established, often through a
modem. SLIP and Ethernet addresses must reflect different
networks as per the subnet masks in use.

NOTE: Do not enter a SLIP address unless SLIP will actually be used. When a

SLIP address is entered the selected (front or rear) PRI connector on

the NCM module becomes a SLIP port instead of a port which

supports Verilink Node Manager software. If the SLIP address is left

at 0.0.0.0 the PRI port uses ACP and may be used with Node

Manager.

S) slip subnet mask

The SLIP subnet mask is based on the SLIP address according to
standard rules.

G) gateway ip address

The IP address of your network gateway device. This might be a
router which the NCM will use to reach an SNMP manager. A
gateway address is only required if the NCM module will be
communicating with other devices not on the same LAN segment.
Consult with your network administrator.

R) SNMP read community string

This parameter is used as rudimentary security for messages to or
from an SNMP manager. This value should match the read
community string being used by the SNMP manager. Enter an
alpha-numeric string of up to 31 characters.
