Management Functions

Management functions

The management functions available on the FastPADmp units are:

traffic generator,
outstanding events,
exchange observation,
telemaintenance,
statistics,
alarms,
configurator (see "CONFIGURATION" manual),
MMI (Man-Machine Interface),
file transfer,
billing,
Dynamic line management (DLM),
Management access point (MAP),
Extended statistics.

The user can access most of these functions, known as "called functions". Only the alarm transmission function is a "calling" function, since it transmits alarm messages to the user.

Access to management functions

Access to the "called" functions can be obtained by using the following syntax:

: DNIC ZOAB D IS No PASSWORD ACO No (CR)

The access code must be typed without spaces between the various identifiers (e.g. 19200099D19TT00).

Only one subscriber can access a function at a given time (except for the traffic generator function).

DNIC :	Identification of the whole private network or a sub-network.
ZO :	Identification of the zone in the network, corresponding to the equipment.
AB :	Management function subscriber number.
	The management functions are treated as an internal subscriber of the FastPADmp. The subscriber number are:
	99:	standalone equipment,
	90:	module 0 of equipment,
	91:	module 1 of equipment,
	92:	module 2 of equipment.
D :	Data separator.
IS No :	Internal service number characterizing the text of the messages distributed by the FastPADmp may be written in:
	· binary code, for processing by a management center,
	· ASCII	for use by a
	· clear language	terminal
(CR) :	Carriage return key

The examples of messages given on the pages that follow are in ASCII or clear language only.

The assignment of the IS Nos. is as follows:

PASSWORD:

The password that has to be entered to access the management functions. This password consisting of from 1 to 6 alphanumeric characters, is defined at the time of configuration and may be different for each function. To allow calling from a terminal, the parity bit is ignored when the password is checked. Except for screening by the password, there is no restriction on the address of the calling party.

ACO No:

This is the suffix; it is a special addition to some internal services. It is defined in the paragraphs dealing with each of these services.

Note An abbreviated access code may be configured (see class 7 of the configuration). In this case, a point (.) must be typed before this access code for the call to be set up.

Examples of access code

Example 1 :

Calling the traffic generator function (in ASCII) of equipment with address 192000185 in the TRANSPAC network.

The access code to the internal service is:

Figure 1-1: Internal Service
Traffic Generator Access Code

Example 2 :

Calling the outstanding events (OEV) function (password KEY, ACO No. = 03) in the clear-language mode, of node 01 of network 1234.

The access code of the internal service is:

Figure 1-2: Internal Service Outstanding Events Access Code

Call rejection

When an erroneous access code is typed, access to the management function selected is rejected and an error code is displayed on the screen. The meanings of the codes are given in Chapter 16 (Network Trouble Management).

Example:

Cause	Message
· password incorrect:	Clear DTE 182
· internal service number: incorrect or out of order	Clear DTE 180
· internal service number busy:	Clear DTE 181
· line number of the "Observation" function incorrect	Clear DTE 183
· line number of the OEV family function incorrect:	Clear DTE 184
