Link port options:
• E1 link
• T1 link
• Serial (V.35) link
• Ethernet link.
1.2 RADview-SC/Vmux-210 Overview
Vmux-210 includes an SNMP agent that enables full management from the
network via SNMP, for example, by means of RADview network management
stations. In addition, Vmux-210 includes the following additional management
capabilities via both out-of-band and inband communication:
• Supervision terminal (ASCII terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation
program), connected either directly or through a modem or any other type of
full-duplex data link. This terminal can perform all of the Vmux-210
supervision and configuration functions, including preliminary system
configuration.
• Telnet, from any host capable of IP communication with Vmux-210 (out-of-
band using SLIP or PPP, or inband over IP). The functions available via the
Telnet are similar to those available from a supervisory terminal.
• Web browsers, using ConfiguRAD. ConfiguRAD is a user-friendly Web-based
element management system that is embedded in Vmux-210 and provided at
no extra cost. ConfiguRAD can be accessed from any standard Web browser.
This manual discusses configuration via RADview, RAD’s SNMP-based network
management application for PC or Unix. To configure Vmux-210 via ASCII terminal,
Telnet, or Web browser, see the
Vmux-210 Installation and Operation Manual .
Overview of the RADview FCAPS Model
RADview provides a complete solution for monitoring and controlling Vmux-210.
The RADview solutions conform to ITU-T Telecommunication Management
Network (TMN) recommendations for SNMP management systems, known as the
FCAPS model:
• Fault management – detects and correlates faults in network devices, isolates
faults and initiates recovery actions.
• Configuration management – tracks configuration changes, configures,
installs and distributes software and configuration files over the network.
• Accounting management – collects accounting data and generates network
usage reports.
• Performance management – continuously monitors network performance
(QoS, CoS) and resource allocation.
• Security management – controls and restricts access to network resources.
