2
Specify a system name up to 16 characters long.
3
Enter the physical location of the Pipeline.
You can enter up to 80 characters. An SNMP manager can read this field, but
its value does not affect the operation of the Pipeline.
4
Specify a person to contact in case of error conditions.
You can enter up to 80 characters. An SNMP manager can read this field, but
its value does not affect the operation of the Pipeline.
5
Specify the data transfer rate of the Pipeline Terminal port.
The default 9600 is appropriate if you are accessing the VT100 interface
from a PC connected to the Pipeline Terminal port. If you are managing a
remote Ascend unit, you may want to increase the baud rate on the local
terminal to a higher speed for improved performance.
Note:
Make sure the Term Rate setting matches the speed configured for
your Com Port.
6
Specify the type of console interface to be displayed at power-up.
Currently the only supported value is “standard.”
7
Specify whether a remote device (across the WAN) will be allowed to
operate the Pipeline.
Remote management only applies to MPP calls.
8
Close the System profile.
Configuring the Pipeline to interact with syslog
To maintain a permanent log of Pipeline system events and send Call Detail
Reporting (CDR) reports to a host that can record and process them, configure
the Pipeline to report events to a syslog host on the local IP network. Note that
syslog reports are only sent out through the Ethernet interface.
To configure the Pipeline to send messages to a Syslog daemon:
1
Open the Ethernet > Mod Config menu.
