July 1999
Device Management Window Fields
The fields below the menu bar display the current device status information of the
selected device. The information in these fields differs slightly, depending on the
device selected. These fields can include Model, Dial State, Alert State, Line
Speed, Port, and Dial Backup Module and appear once the Device Name is
supplied. The possible fields visible in this window are described below.
Device Name: The name of the device assigned during configuration. See
Chapter 4,
Configuration
.
Model: The model number of the device assigned during configuration.
Dial State: This field indicates the device’s status code. Valid entries are Idle,
Ring Indicate, Answering, Talk Mode, Off Hook, Dialing, Remote
Ringing, On Line, Dial Backup, and Dial Standby.
Alert State: A list of the active alert descriptions reported by the device. The
alert descriptions are in the assigned colors. See Chapter 4,
Configuration,
for more information. If more than two lines of alerts are reported, a scroll bar
appears.
Line Speed: If you check this box, this field indicates the speed during the
connect time. The speed is updated periodically as long as the device is
connected. If Training appears in this field, the speed has not been
determined.
Port: A field indicating where the test or command is to be sent (maximum
10 characters). When you select a port, all tests (excluding device test) are
sent to the specified port. This field is valid for DSUs with the TDM or MCMP
feature installed and for APL devices with the TDM or MSD feature installed.
— Valid entries for DSUs are 1–6, None (all requests are sent to the DSU)
and Aggregate (the test runs between the two transmitters or receivers
rather than between two ports).
— Valid entries for APL devices are 1–4, None (all requests are sent to the
APL device) and Aggregate (the test runs between the two transmitters
or receivers rather than between two ports).
Dial Backup Module: A group box displayed for DSUs with the DBM feature
installed. Select Yes to enable valid tests and commands pertinent to the
DBM; all requests are sent to the dial backup module instead of the DSU.
Select No to send all requests to the DSU instead of to the dial backup
module.
Status
Select Status from the Device Management menu bar and the Status pull-down
menu appears. Use Status to view the condition of the device’s DTE signals or
VF impairments.
If the selected device is a DSU and the Dial Backup Module selection is No, the
VF Status and Call Setup menu items are disabled.
