M ANAGEMENT P ORTS
The Management Ports screen (Figure 3-15) sets the follow-
ing parameters for the Call On Alarm (COA) connection on
both the SUPV and SLIP ports.
COA Connection (SUPV): This field controls the remote
alarm reporting. ASCII alarm reporting through the supervi-
sory port is independent of trap alarm reporting. The ASCII
alarm report type is set by the following choices:
[DISABLED] - Alarm reporting is disabled.
[DIAL] - Sends reports through an attached AT command
set compatible modem connected to the SUPV serial port,
which must dial out to a remote modem. The message for-
mat is described in the Element ID field.
[DIRECT] - Sends reports to a printer or terminal connected
directly to the supervisory port.
COA messages are reported in the following format in the
[DIAL] or [DIRECT] modes only:
Element ID<CR><LF>
TxPORT DDS DSU Alarm Report HH:MM:SS MM/DD/
YY<CR><LF>
NET Alarms: alarms <CR> <LF>
DTE Alarms: alarms <CR> <LF>
where (alarms) is a string consisting of some or all of the
identifiers LOS, OOF, OOS, or DTR. The following is an
example:
Joesunit 17:24:55
TxPORT DDS DSU Alarm Report 08/04/96
NET Alarms: LOS
DTE Alarms: DTR
The user programmable Element ID string (see Utilities on
page 3-10) is transmitted first to allow the COA function to
send a message with a specific meaning to some host (such
as a log on message).
Primary Dial String, Secondary Dial String: These fields
are ASCII strings for the primary and secondary call on alarm
phone numbers used in the [DIAL] mode. The strings must
include the ATDT command prefix (ex. ATDT555-1212).
The unit attempts three times to connect using the primary
number. If all three attempts fail, it will attempt three times
to connect using the secondary number (if it is not blank). If
the secondary number fails, the unit waits five minutes and
then attempts to communicate with the primary number
again. When a connection is detected, the unit outputs the
notification message and then disconnects.
Initialization String: The modem initialization string is
entered in this field. Refer to the modem’s documentation
for further information. The default setting is
ATE1Q0V1S0=1 .
Disconnection String: This field identifies the character
string to be output when the modem session is terminated.
The default setting is
ATH .
SLIP Port Rate: Options are 1.2K, 2.4K, 9.6K, and 19.2K.
SLIP Connection: This field controls remote SNMP trap
reporting. Trap reporting through the SLIP port is indepen-
dent of ASCII alarm reporting. The trap report type is set by
the following choices:
[DISABLED] - Trap reporting is disabled.
[DIAL] - Sends traps through a modem to the SLIP server.
[DIRECT] - Sends traps directly to the SLIP server.
