Viewing Status, Configuration, and Performance Data
This chapter describes how to view status, configuration, and performance data about chassis, modules, and ports on the Cisco 6100 Series system DSLAM chassis. You can retrieve status, configuration, and performance information for objects by opening the associated windows.
To view the status, configuration, and performance data about specific objects on the Cisco 6100 Series system DSLAM, you can open the associated windows in two ways. The first way is to right-click over the module type on the left side of the Map Viewer window to access the object menu for that managed object. An example object menu is shown in Figure 5-1.
Figure 5-1 Example Object Menu
For this example, you would click Open Flex Module Status/Configuration Dialog to open the associated window. The object menus for other modules have similar choices.
From the object menu, you choose the option to open the appropriate status and configuration window. This method is the one used in this chapter.
The other way to access the status and configuration windows is from the Navigation menu, which you can open from the System Dialog window. The Navigation menu is shown in Figure 5-2.

Viewing Status, Configuration, and Performance Information about Modules and Ports
To view the status, configuration, or performance information for a specific module, you must open the associated window for that module. This section includes instructions for opening status, configuration, and performance windows for each managed object within the C6100v30Managed Element hierarchy view.
Note Every module whose status you can view includes the same basic information about the type of
module and its status. The illustrations in this section may show one particular type of module;
however, the information is the same for all modules unless otherwise noted.
The type of module whose status and configuration information you can view can include any one of the following types:
CAP ATU-C module
DMT-2 ATU-C module
STU-C module
Flexi module
LIM controller module
LIM module
Subtend module
Network Interface module
System Controller module
Each status/configuration/delete or status/configuration dialog window contains a Board Info/Status tab and a Slot Info tab.
Viewing the Module Status/Configuration/Delete Dialog Window
To view status and configuration information about a specific type of module, complete the following steps:
Step 1 From the left side of the Map Viewer window under the Physical hierarchy view, right-click C6100v30[Name of Module] to access the object menu.
The object menu shown in Figure 5-5, is for a network interface module.

SNR Margin
Represents the amount of increased received noise (in decibels) relative to the noise power that the system is designed to tolerate and still meet the target bit error rate (BER) of 107. This value accounts for all coding (for example, Reed-Solomon forward error correction) gains that are included in the design. The SNR margin ranges from -64.0 dB to +63.5 dB with 0.5 dB steps. The SNR margin is measured at the near end.
