Chapter 1 Introduction Installation and Operation Manual
1-2 Overview RICi-E3, RICi-T3 Ver. 1.0
Features
RICi-E3, RICi-T3 offers the features specified below.
Network Interface
The network interface terminates in an E3 or T3 coax network port.
User Interface
The user interface terminates in a 10/100BaseT port, operating in half or full
duplex mode. The 10/100BaseT user port supports auto negotiation.
Fault Management
The unit provides a fault propagation mechanism. In cases of error conditions on
the TDM port, a fault propagation feature tears down the link integrity on the
Fast Ethernet port. This indicates the error conditions to the Ethernet network,
enabling connected routers to reroute the traffic if required.
Internal Bridge
The internal bridge of the unit operates in two modes:
• Transparent – no learning is performed, each received packet is forwarded to
the other port. Filtering is performed on static MAC address entries.
• Filter – learning and filtering are enabled.
Management
Setup, monitoring and tests can be performed using one of the following
methods:
• Out-of band management – via an ASCII terminal connected to the V.24/RS-
232 DTE control port.
• Inband management – via the Ethernet port, using Telnet, ConfiguRAD, or
RADview-Lite (SNMP). RICi-E3, RICi-T3 allows up to five concurrent
management sessions in addition to an ASCII terminal session.
ConfiguRAD
ConfiguRAD is a user-friendly Web-based terminal management system enabling
remote device configuration and maintenance. It is embedded in the unit and
provided at no extra cost. ConfiguRAD can be run from any standard Web
browser.
RADview-Lite
RADview-Lite is a user-friendly and powerful SNMP-based element management
application, used for planning, provisioning and managing heterogeneous
networks. RADview-Lite provides monitoring capabilities for RAD products and
networks via their SNMP agents. Configuration and diagnostic capabilities are
available via a GUI-cut-through to ConfiguRAD.
