Local and Remote Management
The Controller cards have several local and remote management options available.
Front-panel LEDs quickly communicate alarm, system and line status. The cards can
be configured and managed locally through the RS-232 or Ethernet management
connections on the Interface card using a Command Line Interface (CLI).
A number of remote management options are available to reduce truck roll costs for
most maintenance and troubleshooting activities. The in-band DS0 management
channel on the controller delivers 64 Kbps remote access to the Axxius 800 without
incurring additional facilities costs. Alternatively, as separate Ethernet facility can be
deployed to support out-of-band SNMP network management, and the controller can
also be accessed through the V.34 dial-in modem connection from the Single Channel
POTS with V.34 Modem Service card. Remote configuration, monitoring,
maintenance, and troubleshooting tasks are further simplified from the central Network
Operation Center (NOC) using the graphical interfaces of the NetworkValet EMS.

Rack Mounting
To maintain proper convection cooling, maintain at least 1/2 RU between the Axxius
and any other equipment (each Axxius occupies 3 RU of rack space). Therefore, if one
Axxius is mounted above another Axxius, then there would be a total of 1 RU between
them (1/2 RU above the lower unit and 1/2 RU below the upper unit).
Using the 1/2 RU airspace guideline, up to 15 Axxius 800 units may be installed in a
7’ equipment rack.

Controllers are shipped with the IP address set to 10.0.0.10, if this address has
been changed and is not known, use HyperTerm to access the Controller and
use the CLI command show ip. If an IP address needs to be set use the CLI
command set ethernet ip address {ip-addr}.
l If connecting via RS-232 (HyperTerm), the port settings should be set to:
Bits per second: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
l
Set your Terminal Emulation to: VT100
NOTE: Note: When using Tera Term TCP/IP, CLI commands will not be

Quick Configuration Reload
The print config command can be used as a quick way to reload a configuration
into an Axxius unit, in the event that the configuration has been lost due to software
reload problems or operator error.
The download of the file generated by the print config command can be done by
direct connect to the RS-232 port or via Telnet, BUT the upload from the PC back to
the Axxius can only be done via direct RS-232 connection. The reason for this is that
there will not be an IP address in the Axxius because it is at the factory default at this
time.
The procedure described below is based on using Hyperterm.

Setup of DS0 Management Channel
Setup of DS0 Management Channel
The DS0 Management Channel provides an alternative to the FDL link for
management information where FDL is unavailable. The Access Navigator and the
remote Axxius 800 will use IP packets to communicate management and control
information over the DS0 Management channel. A DS0 Channel will be used in the
remote Axxius 800 to send and receive the management IP packets.
The Navigator sends and receives the IP packets over its Ethernet connection while the
remote Axxius sends and receives the IP packets over a DS0 channel. A channelized
router takes the IP messages from the Ethernet to send them over DS0 channels (WAN)
and vice versa. The DS0s coming out of the router are on a single T1. It connects to the
Navigator, where the DS0s are cross-connected to the remote Axxius.

Configuring the Axxius Router
NOTE: The Remote Axxius WAN address MUST have a different subnet
than the Axxius Controller Ethernet address.
WAN Connections
The following WAN connections are made from a default condition with one (1)
TSR card installed set with factory defaults.
NOTE: An Axxius TSR is capable of managing 24 virtual WAN
connections through one of the ports of the Controller card. If support of
more than 24 Axxius units is required a Quad T1 and TSR card(s) can be
added; this however, can only be done on the collocated TSR, not on a
remote Axxius.
1. From the CLI execute the following command to connect one DS0 to each one
of the 24 WANs.
