When you have moved the mouse pointer to the desired location, you can release

You may configure the Digital Access and Cross-Connect System (DACS) by using its internal HTTP/HTML
Administration Pages. However, to enter into the HTTP/HTML pages, you must first define the LAN Address
Technique, LAN IP Address, and LAN Subnet Mask for the DACS. If you have not done so, please refer to the
Getting Started Guide that came with your DACS.
Logging into the HTTP/HTML Administration Pages
To log into the HTTP/HTML Administration pages, you must enter the 4-octet Internet Protocol (IP) (for
example, http://your.server.ip.address) address as the Universal Resource Locator (URL) into a World-Wide Web
(WWW) browser. After you enter the IP address, the DACS will ask for your user name and password as
shown in figure 1.
Figure 1. DACS login window
Your DACS will accept the following default administrative passwords:
• superuser—this password carries full permission to change and view any parameters in the DACS
• monitor—this password allows full viewing of any non-password oriented variables.
NoteFor security reasons, we recommend that you change these passwords
immediately after initial configuration.
HTTP/HTML and SNMP Object Format
In this document, we shall describe the variables found on each of the internal HTTP/HTML pages. This
description will include brief definitions of the Patton Enterprise MIB or SNMP MIB II object identifiers
wherever applicable. The format of the variables will resemble figure 2.

Operating Status Variables
There are seven system variables which describe the immediate operating status of the DACS. These variables
are shown in figure 4 and are described in the following sections.
Figure 4. STATUS menu
Egress Card Installed (boxEgressType)
Three parameters define whether an egress card is installed in the 3095 and if so, which one. The parameters
are as follows:
• none(0)—No egress card is installed
• pmc-t1-e1(1)—T1/E1 WAN port card is installed
• pmc-serial(2)—V.35 serial interface card is installed
Number of Egress Ports (boxEgressCount)
Defines the number of ports on the egress card module installed in the system.
% CPU Idle (boxIdleTime)
This is an indication of the amount of system CPU power which is not being utilized by the Model 3095. The
returned value is a percentage of free CPU cycles since the last time the variable was read.
Running Since Last Boot (sysUpTime)
The time (in hundredths of a second) since the DACS was last power-cycled.
Total System Alarms (alarmTotal)
Total number of alarms currently active in the system.
Operating Status Variables25
2 • HomemDSL DACS Administrators’ Reference Guide
Immediate Actions
There are several immediate actions (see figure 5) in superuser mode which will cause the DACS to operate
according to the descriptions in the following sections.
Figure 5. Immediate Actions buttons
Record Current Configuration (storeConfig(1))
This feature saves the current configuration in permanent FLASH memory. In other words, configuration
changes made in the subsystem web pages become permanent when you select Record Current Configuration.
1. Configuration changes in the DACS are made in the subsystem web pages by clicking Submit Query.
This stores the configuration in volatile DRAM (Dynamic RAM) only. Since the Submit Query changes
take immediate effect, the administrator can test different configuration parameters without needing to
change the FLASH configuration at this moment.
2. Without clicking on Record Current Configuration, all configuration changes will be lost if the power
is recycled. After doing the Record Current Configuration save, the current configuration of the DACS
will not be lost with power cycling.
NoteThe most important step after completing the configuration is to save it in
permanent memory by clicking on Record Current Configuration.
Hard Reset (hardReset(2))
This button causes the DACS to perform a cold restart. When you select Hard Reset, the DACS requests
confirmation for the execution of this command. Then, the DACS will disconnect all current sessions, re-initialize the interfaces, and re-load configuration parameters from FLASH.
Set Factory Default Configuration (forceDefaultConfig(3))
This button clears out the configuration in FLASH and loads the factory default parameters into FLASH
memory. The factory default settings will not execute on the DACS until it is re-booted, for example by doing
a Hard Reset.
NoteSet Factory Default Configuration will delete the DACS’s Ether-
net IP address and any other site specific settings made for your particular installation. You will have to re-enter the DACS’s Ethernet IP
address and netmask using the front panel control port in order to use
the HTTP/HTML Management pages.
The Import/Export function enables you to make a backup (or export) copy of your DACS’s configuration
parameters. By exporting the configurations, the saved files can quickly be loaded, or imported, into a replacement DACS—greatly speeding up the installation process should an DACS need replacing.
NoteAll actions for Import/Export require superuser access privileges.
To import or export a configuration, click on
Import/Export main window (see figure 6).
Import/Export under the Configuration Menu to display the
Figure 6. Import/Export main window
Export Configuration
NoteThe exported configuration file is a text-format file. Do not try, how-
ever to edit the operating characteristics contained in the file.
NoteThe parameters that will be exported are the power-up settings as they
are stored in flash memory and maynot be the current operating
parameters. To ensure that you export the most current parameters,
go to
HOME, then click on the Record Current Configuration button
under
Immediate Actions.
