Management Domain Features
3-2
8000-A2-GB21-10
June 1997
These SNMP capabilities provided by Paradyne’s DCE Manager provide access
to MIB II, Entity MIB, and private-enterprise MIB extensions to facilitate:
 Monitoring and uploading/downloading configuration information from the
HotWire DSLAM, and
 Monitoring and uploading/downloading information to the MCC card, DSL
cards, and HotWire 5446 RTU.
The DSLAM uses a processor card called the Management Communications
Controller (MCC) card in conjunction with DCE Manager. The MCC card provides
the single point of contact to the DSL card and HotWire 5446 RTUs. It gathers
operational status for each of the HotWire DSL cards in the DSLAM and reports
events and alarms to the DCE Manager. For more information, see the
DCE
Manager for HP OpenView for Windows User’s Guide
or the DCE Manager for
HP OpenView User’s Guide
.
Applications for Management
The HotWire DSLAM user interface provides the following management
applications:
 Ping
 tFTP client
 Telnet
Ping
The ping program, which is an IP-based application used to test reachability of
destinations by sending them an ICMP echo request and waiting for a reply, is
supported from both the DSL and MCC cards. As a diagnostic tool, the ping
program from the MCC card can be used to verify reachability in the
management domain to the DSL card, the HotWire 5446 RTU, and to the DCE
manager. Similarly, invoking the ping program from the DSL card can be used to
verify reachability downstream to the HotWire 5446 RTU and the ES, and to
verify reachability upstream to the ISP.
NOTE:
Record route and other ICMP options facilitating trace route are also
supported. However, the options field is not reflected back if the HotWire
DSLAM is the destination address (i.e., the options field is stripped from the
packet when the HotWire DSLAM returns the packet). The HotWire DSLAM
does, however, pass the packet with the options field to the next hop if the
DSLAM is not specified as the destination address.
