Configuring MX-2100
3.1 Introduction
In this chapter you will find detailed instructions for configuring MX-2100. The
information in this chapter includes:
General description of MX-2100 control, display and push-button functions,
and menu organization
Setting the configuration parameters for MX-2100.
Refer to the Operation chapter for a description of the MX-2100 front panel, and
the syntax, usage and commands of the MX-2100 supervision language.
3.2 Control of MX-2100 Operation
General
MX-2100 operating mode is determined by a set of parameters stored in the
internal non-volatile memory of the KCL.2 module. These parameters are selected
by the user, using the MX-2100 front panel push-buttons, a supervision terminal,
or a SNMP network management station. When main link bandwidth is allocated
to the MX-2100 management channel, the parameters that must be used by both
MX-2100 units connected by the main link can also be downloaded from one of
the units to the other unit.
After the operating parameters have been selected, a process called configuration
set-up, the MX-2100 no longer requires operator attendance.
The configuration stored in the MX-2100 memory is not affected when the power
is turned off. Upon power-up, the stored configuration is retrieved and its validity
is checked during the power-up self-test:
If everything is OK, after power-up the MX-2100 assumes the last selected
configuration and is immediately ready for operation (unless the user wants to
change the system configuration).
If errors are detected in the configuration data, the MX-2100 lets you load a
default configuration in its place. The default configuration, prepared by the
manufacturer, is stored in the program EPROM. The user can later modify the
default values as required.
