Running Head
WAN Card User Screens and Settings WAN Card
COM/NMS RP
The Communications/Network Management System Report setting tells the system where to
send TCP/IP packets from the NMS configuration selected on the Interface card. The options
are
none
(no NMS),
c-sa4
(use SA4 channel for NMS information),
c-b7r
(send NMS
information to a B7R card on time slot 31), and e-sa4 (send NMS information in a proprietary
ESF format via the SA4 channel to a NTU).
EER THRHD
The Excessive Error Rate Threshold selects the error rate, which an alarm is declared. This
setting interacts with the EER setting in the Alarm Filters of your system. The options are
10e-4
through
10e-9,
or
none
.
RDNT RULES
The selection of Redundancy Rules will define the method of determining what event will
trigger a WAN port to switch to its redundant mate. The options are
none
,
OOS,
or
CGA
. See
Chapter 3-C for more information on redundant WAN card operations. If there is no redundant
WAN card in the appropriate slot, the only option that will appear is
n/a
.
GROUP
The Group setting identifies a method of link-fail alarm propagation from upstream trunks to
downstream tributaries. Selection of group is a two-step process. After identifying the group
number (1-4), the user must select the secondary group (A [child group], B [child group], or
C [parent group]). The group setting is normally used for transcoder applications. See the
groups diagram and discussion earlier in this chapter.
