Using Technician Interface Software

303561-A Rev 00
Overview
You access the Technician Interface software through a console or modem
attached to a router serial port. The number of Technician Interface sessions you
can establish for a router depends on the number of serial ports available on that
router.
• The SRM-L board has one serial port (labeled “Console”), allowing you to
establish one session on a Backbone Node platform.
• The SYS I/O board has three serial ports (labeled “Console,” “Modem 1” and
“Modem 2”), allowing you to establish up to three sessions on a VME
platform.
• The AFN processor board has two serial ports (labeled “Console” and
“Modem”), allowing you to establish one or two sessions.
• The AN processor board has one serial port (labeled “Console”), allowing you
to establish one session.
• The ARN base module has up to three serial ports (one labeled “Console,”
one labeled “Modem,” and an optional V.34 modem interface), allowing you
to establish one session.
• The ASN base board has one serial port per router, with up to four routers
stacked, allowing you to establish up to four sessions with the interconnected
stack.
See Configuring Routers if you prefer to user Site Manager to configure the serial
port parameters for the router console.
