Upgrading a Unit to the Advanced SLM Feature Set
Full Service Level Management (SLM) capability can be activated in units that have the
basic diagnostic feature set at any time. This is an optional feature that adds real-time
and historical network performance monitoring and SLA (Service Level Agreement)
reporting capabilities to your iMarc unit and network. Simply order a Feature Activation
Certificate and provide the model to be activated, your OpenLane
key number, and the number of iMarc units to be activated to SLM capability. You can
order the certificate for a single unit or for many units.
®
SLM system license
OpenLane SLM Release 5.3 or above is required to schedule activation of SLM features
in units, and to manage the number of activations remaining on the certificate.
OpenLane also provides a Certificate Summary Report to assist you in the management
of the certificate.
When the Feature Activation Certificate arrives, add the Activation Certificate Number to
your OpenLane SLM application’s database. Activations can occur at any time, for as
many units as desired, until no activations remain for the certificate. When ready to
activate units, simply select the units to be activated and schedule the activations. The
activations occur when scheduled, and OpenLane updates the certificate information.
Contact your sales representative for additional information.

Preparation
Make sure you have:
❑ A dedicated, grounded power outlet that is protected by a circuit breaker within
6 feet of the iMarc unit
❑ A clean, well-lit, and ventilated site that is free from environmental extremes
❑ One-to-two feet of clearance for cable connections
❑ A physical connection to the frame relay T1 network
❑ An asynchronous terminal or PC (personal computer)
❑ If desired, an operable Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network) connection for access
by an NMS (Network Management System)
❑ Configuration information for the iMarc unit being installed or replaced
❑ Appropriate cables (see Cables You May Need to Order, below)
For additional information, see the iMarc SLV Technical Description (9000-A2-GB30).

2. Plug the power supply into the grounded power outlet and check the LEDs.
If any LEDs light, you have power. If not, refer to Troubleshooting in the iMarc SLV
Operations Guide (9000-A2-GB33) for possible explanations.
3. Insert the self-mounting tie wrap in the leftmost hole (hole with a dark circle around
it) until it snaps securely into place. The tie wrap provides strain relief for the power
cord.
4. Loop the tie wrap around the power cord, thread it through the hole at the base of
the wrap, and pull it snugly around the cord.

Connecting to an Asynchronous Terminal or PC
A VT100-compatible asynchronous terminal or a PC providing VT100 terminal
emulation must be used to set up access to and management of the unit.
Procedure
1. Configure the terminal or PC so it is compatible with the iMarc unit:
— Baud Rate set to 19.2 kbps.
— Character length set to 8 data bits.
— Parity set to none.
— Stop bit set to 1.
— Flow Control set to None.
2. Insert the DB25 end of the EIA-232 cable into the iMarc unit’s COM port.

3. Insert the other end of the cable into the terminal or PC.
4. Tighten the screws on each side of the connector to secure the cable.
5. Press Enter on the keyboard to display the Main Menu.
If the Main Menu does not appear, recheck the terminal or PC settings (see Step 1),
or press the Enter key. Refer to Troubleshooting in the iMarc SLV Operations Guide
(9000-A2-GB33) for other possible explanations.
Verifying that Self-Test Passed
To verify that the unit passed its self-test, go to the System and Test Status screen.
Main Menu → Status → System and Test Status
The results of the self-test appear directly under the screen title.
If any failure messages appear, reset the unit by disconnecting, then reconnecting the
power cord. The unit will perform the self-test again. If the failure reappears, call your
service representative for assistance.
