to remote sites, minimally configure the Node IP Address and Subnet Mask.
Main Menu → Configuration → Management and Communication → Node IP
This set of configuration options includes a Troubleshooting (TS) Management
Link feature to help service providers isolate device problems within their
networks. This feature allows Telnet or FTP access to the unit on this link.
Troubleshooting over this link is essentially transparent to customer operations.
No alarms or SNMP traps are generated to create nuisance alarms for the
customer.
TS_Management_Link is initially disabled in most models, but the link can be
enabled at any time. Any valid network Management PVC created on a standard
DLCI can be used. When enabled, a troubleshooting link can be accessed any
time the service provider requests access. An assigned security level can also
control access.
When a DLCI has been defined as the troubleshooting management link, the
link is identified in the status field at the bottom of the Management PVC Entry
screen with the Note: This PVC has been designated as the TS
Access Management Link message.
NOTE:
The unit may come from the factory with a TS Management PVC already
set up (e.g., 980).
