1-8 July 2004 Wide Bank 28 DS3 - Release 2.4
Command Line Interface
The command line interface is a simple user interface that controls configuration and maintenance
operations. There are two ways to use the command line interface:
A VT-100 terminal (or a PC running terminal emulation software such as HyperTerminal)
connected to the 9-pin (DB9) RS-232 port. The port runs at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
no parity, and no flow control.
A Telnet connection using the 10Base-T Ethernet port. To use Telnet, you must first assign
an IP address to the Wide Bank using the RS-232 interface
SNMP
The Wide Bank 28 DS3 contains an embedded SNMP v1 agent that offers the standard MIB II
(RFC 1213) in addition to the DS1/E1 MIB (RFC 1406) and the DS3 MIB (RFC 1407).
Also resident are Carrier Access’ Wide Bank 28 DS3 enterprise MIBs that provide additional MIB
objects.

The network manager can use any SNMP-compatible network management system such as
SunConnect’s SunNet Manager™, HP OpenView™, or Castle Rock’s SNMPc™ to monitor and
control the Wide Bank 28 DS3.
You can connect to the SNMP agent through the 10Base-T Ethernet port. Before using the Ethernet
port, you must set the IP, mask, gateway, and NMS addresses using the RS-232 command line
interface. See Chapter 6 for instructions on how to configure these addresses.
