Chapter 1
Getting Started
The AT-S65 management software for the AT-LX3800U Multi-Service
Transport System allows you to monitor and manage the chassis and the
components installed in it. Some of the functions you can perform with the
AT-S65 management software are:
Review the performance and status of the chassis and line cards
Set up traps to send messages to remote management stations
Configure temperature thresholds for the chassis, line cards, and SFPs
Diagnose problems in the chassis and line cards
The AT-S65 management software is preinstalled on the chassis with
default settings for all operating parameters.
There are three ways to access the management software on the chassis.
These methods are referred to in this guide as management sessions and
are described in this chapter.
This chapter contains the following sections:
“Local Management Session” on page 14
“Remote Management Session” on page 17
“Using the Menus Interface” on page 19
“SNMP Management Session” on page 20
13
Chapter 1: Getting Started
Local Management Session
You establish a local management session with the AT-LX3800U chassis
when you use the management cable included with the chassis to connect
a terminal or PC with a terminal emulation program to the RS-232 port on
the chassis. The RS-232 port is located on the front panel of the
AT-LX3800U chassis and has a DIN-8 style connector.
This type of management session is referred to as “local” because you
must be physically close to the chassis, such as in the wiring closet where
the chassis is located.
After the session starts, the menus are displayed from which you can
make selections to configure and manage the chassis. You can configure
all of the chassis operating parameters from a local management session.
A chassis does not need an Internet Protocol (IP) address for you to
manage it locally. You can start a local management session on the
chassis at any time and not interfere with the chassis operations.
Starting a Local
Management
Session
To start a local management session on the chassis, perform the following
procedure:
1. Connect the DIN-8 end of the management cable included with the
AT-LX3800U chassis to the RS-232 terminal port on the front of the
chassis, as shown in Figure 1.

Chapter 1: Getting Started
Note
The AT-S65 management software supports only one management
session at a time. Therefore, it is important to always quit a
management session when you are finished managing the chassis.
Otherwise, you might block future management sessions or
software downloads. You can configure a timeout value so that the
chassis automatically disconnects a management session after a
defined period of inactivity. The default timeout is 5 minutes. To
configure a different timeout value, refer to “Specifying a Timeout
Value” on page 49.
16
Remote Management Session
You can use the Telnet application from any workstation on your network
to manage an AT-LX3800U system. This type of management session is
referred to as remote management because you do not need to be
physically close to the chassis to start the session.
A remote management session allows you to access the same menus and
options that you can access with a local management session.
To manage a chassis remotely, you must first assign an IP address to it,
as described in “Configuring the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default
Gateway” on page 24 using a local management session.
AT-S65 Management Software User’s Guide
Starting a
Remote
Management
Session
To start a remote management session, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect a twisted pair cable to the 10/100Base-T port on the front of
the chassis, as shown in Figure 3.

SNMP Management Session
Another way to remotely manage an AT-LX3800U chassis is to use an
SNMP management application such as HP OpenView or AT-View Plus.
To use an SNMP management application, you should be familiar with
management information base (MIB) objects. You must download the
AT-LX3800U MIB file from the Allied Telesyn web site and compile the file
with your SNMP program. For instructions, refer to your SNMP
management documentation.

Setting the System Date and Time
Setting the system time is important if you configured the chassis to send
traps to your management stations. If the time is not set, traps do not
contain the correct date and time. Therefore, it becomes difficult for you to
determine when the events represented by the traps occurred.
There are two ways to set the time: manually and using Simple Network
Time Protocol (SNTP). When you set the time manually, the chassis loses
the values when it is reset or power cycled. When you use this method,
you must reset the values whenever you reset the chassis.
When you set up SNTP, the chassis obtains the current date and time
from an SNTP or Network Time Protocol (NTP) server located on your
network or on the Internet. The AT-S65 management software contains
the client version of SNTP. SNTP is a reduced version of NTP. However,
the SNTP client software in the AT-S65 management software is
interoperable with NTP servers.
To set the system’s date and time, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, select System Configuration.
The System Configuration Menu is shown in Figure 4 on page 22.
2. From the System Configuration Menu, select System Time Options
and press Enter.
The System Time Configuration Menu is shown in Figure 7.
System Time Configuration Menu
System Date (mm/dd/yyyy): 01/01/1980
System Time (hh:mm:ss): 00:00:00
SNTP Status: Disabled
SNTP Server: Null (not configured)
UTC Offset (-12 to 12): 0
Daylight Savings Time: Disabled

Poll Interval (Seconds): 0
Last Delta (Seconds): 0

3. Adjust the following parameters as necessary:
System Date (mm/dd/yyyy)
Enter a date for the system. Use two numbers for the day and month.
Use four numbers to specify the year. Separate the values with
slashes. For example, December 5, 2004 is specified as 12/05/2004.
Note that if you then enable SNTP, the date you set is superseded by
information obtained from the SNTP server.
System Time (hh:mm:ss)
Enter a time for the system in the following format: hours, minutes, and
seconds, separated by colons. Note that if you then enable SNTP, the
system time is superseded by information obtained from the SNTP
server.
SNTP Status
This option either enables or disables the SNTP client on the chassis.
The default is Disabled. After SNTP is enabled, the chassis
immediately polls the SNTP or NTP server for the current date and
time.
SNTP Server
If you set SNTP Status to Enabled, you must specify the IP address of
an SNTP server.
UTC Offset (-12 to 12)
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the international time standard,
formerly referred to as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The offset is the
number of hours from -12 to 12 that the time for the chassis differs
from UTC. The default is 0.
Daylight Savings Time
Select Enabled to enable daylight savings time, and allow the chassis
to adjust its system time to daylight savings time. Or, select Disabled to
disable daylight savings time. The default is disabled.
Poll Interval (seconds)
Specifies the time interval between queries to the SNTP server. The
default is 0.
Last Delta (seconds)
This read-only field displays the last adjustment that was applied to the
system time due to a drift in the system clock between two successive
queries to the SNTP server.
4. After you have adjusted the parameters, return to the Main Menu.

Configuring the Trap Parameters
The trap parameters specify which traps are sent to the SNMP
management stations specified in “Configuring the Manager IP
Addresses” on page 24.
To set the trap parameters, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, select System Configuration.
The System Configuration Menu is shown in Figure 4 on page 22.
2. From the System Configuration Menu, select Trap Parameters and
press Enter.
The Trap Parameters Menu is shown in Figure 8.
Trap Parameters Menu
Chassis Over-Temperature: 1
Module Over-Temperature: 1
SFP Over-Temperature: 1
SFP Loss of Signal: 1
Module Loss of Signal: 0
Module Out of Sync: 0
SFP Insert/Removal: 3
Module Insertion/Removal: 2
RPS Failure: 0
RPS Insertion/Removal: 2
Port Active/Shutdown: 2
Fan Failure: 2
Module Mode Change 1,3,4
Cold Start: 0
Authentication: 2
Return to System Configuration Menu ...
Figure 8. Trap Parameters Menu
The numbers following each trap relate to the list of IP addresses of
management stations as shown in Figure 6 on page 27.
The number “1” following a trap represents “Manager Address1” in the
IP Parameters Menu, number “2” represents “Manager Address2,” and
so forth. You use this numbering to control which management
stations receive which traps. For example, if you want “Manager
Address1” and “Manager Address3” to receive the RPS traps, then
you would change the RPS trap items to show the number “1,3.” The
default is 0 (zero); no management stations receive traps.
