Appendix A: EPIM Specifications The transmitter power levels and receive sensitivity levels listed are peak power levels after optical overshoot. A peak power meter must be used to correctly compare the values given above to those measured on any particular port. If power levels are being measured with an average power meter, add 3 dBm to the measurement to compare the measured values to the values listed above.
APPENDIX B IMAGE FILE DOWNLOAD USING OID STRINGS This appendix provides instructions for setting up a TFTP server and to download an image file to the SEHI by setting specific MIB OID strings. Set the OID strings with the SNMP Tools screen described in Chapter 7. NOTE Download an image file to the SEHI with a remote management package such as SPECTRUM, SPECTRUM Element Manager, or the appropriate SPECTRUM Portable Management Application.
Appendix B: Image File Download Using OID Strings B.1 SETTING UNIX WORKSTATION AS TFTP SERVER Downloading an image file requires setting up your UNIX workstation as a TFTP server. NOTE ! CAUTION Due to variations between UNIX systems, and individual configurations, this section provides only GUIDELINES for configuring a UNIX workstation to perform an image file download. The instructions include command examples, where appropriate. Bold lettering in examples indicates operator entry.
Standard Local Download 4. Store the hex image file in the /tftpboot directory as sehi.hex. NOTE This step requires decompression of the zipped image file. If you do not have a UNIX unzip utility, access to a PC with pkunzip, or a way to FTP the decompressed image to a UNIX workstation, contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support. 5. Edit the /etc/inetd.conf file by removing anything prior to the tftpboot daemon (e.g., the # sign) that comments-out the line. 6. Kill the inetd process (e.g.
