Introduction
You can manage the Model 2616RC T1/E1 Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) Digital Access Concentrator
(T-DAC), Model 3096RC G.SHDSL TDM T-DAC, or Model 3196RC iDSL TDM T-DAC by using its
internal HTTP/HTML Web Management windows. However, to access the HTTP/HTML windows, you
must first define:
• The T-DAC system’s LAN IP method to obtain address
• LAN IP address
• LAN IP subnet mask for the T-DAC
If you have not defined the above parameters, refer to the procedures in the Getting Started Guide that came
with your T-DAC
Logging into the HTTP/HTML Web Management windows
To log into the HTTP/HTML Web Management windows, you must enter the 4-octet Internet Protocol (IP)
address (for example, http://your.server.ip.address) as the Universal Resource Locator (URL) into a World-Wide
Web (WWW) browser. After you enter the IP address, the T-DAC will ask for your user name and password as
shown in figure 1.
Your T-DAC will accept the following default administrative passwords:
• superuser—this password carries full permission to change and view any parameters in the T-DAC
• monitor—this password allows full viewing of any non-password oriented variables.
Note For security reasons, we recommend that you change these passwords
immediately after initial configuration.

The HOME window consists of sections that enable you to:
• View general product information about the T-DAC, such as the current software version (see section
“Product information box” on page 40)
• View a summary of the system’s operating status that includes the following information:
– Number of egress ports on the rear blade
– Shelf address
– Slot ID
– Percent of idle CPU time
– Amount of time since the last time the system software was restarted (also referred to as booting)
– Current T-DAC (front blade/rear blade) alarm status, which displays the highest-level alarm currently
detected in the T-DAC—listed as Major, Minor, or Clear (for none)
– Total alarms active in the T-DAC
See section “Operating status variables” on page 41 for more information.
• Initiate the following Operator Actions:
– Save any changes you have made to the T-DAC’s system configuration
– Perform a hard reset (cold restart) of the system without power-cycling the T-DAC. Reset all the T-DAC’s
configurable parameters to their factory-default values.
See section “Operator Actions” on page 42 for more information.
The HOME window is divided into two panes: the Configuration Menu pane and the configuration/information pane (see figure 6). The Configuration Menu contains the links to the various T-DAC subsystem windows,
while the configuration/information pane is where you can view status and other information, or make
changes to the system configuration. Unlike the Configuration Menu pane, which looks the same no matter
which subsystem window you may move to, the configuration/information pane contents will change as you
move from one subsystem window to another.
Note Clicking on the HOME link in the Configuration Menu pane returns
you to the HOME window from any other window.

Operator Actions
In superuser mode you can initiate several operator actions (see figure 9) which will cause the T-DAC to operate according to the descriptions in the following sections.
Figure 9. Operator Actions buttons
Record Current Configuration (storeConfig(1))
Clicking the button labelled Record Current Configuration causes the T-DAC to save the current configuration in permanent Flash memory. In other words, configuration changes made in the subsystem web windows
become permanent when you click Record Current Configuration.
Configuration changes in the T-DAC are made by clicking a button labelled Submit Query on any of the subsystem window. When you click Submit Query, the T-DAC stores the parameter values 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 each time.
The most important step after completing the configuration is to
save it in permanent memory by clicking on Record Current

Configuration.
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 T-DAC will
not be lost when The T-DAC is powered down.
Hard Reset (hardReset(2))
This button causes the T-DAC to perform a cold restart. When you select Hard Reset, the T-DAC requests
confirmation before executing the command, after which, the T-DAC will disconnect all current sessions, reinitialize the interfaces, and re-load configuration parameters from Flash memory.

Introduction
The T-DAC provides alarm facilities that monitor the operating status of the T-DAC’s power supply, 3096RC
G.SHDSL and T1/E1 ports, 3196RC iDSL and T1/E1 ports, and 2616RC T1/E1 ports, and ambient temperature. The T-DAC provides three alarm signaling methods to indicate that an alarm condition has
been detected:
• Visual indication—via the T-DAC front panel ALARM status LED and rear blade ALARM status
LED indicators
• Operator console indication—via the T-DAC management windows
• External alarms management host indication—delivered via SNMP traps or Syslog messages that the T-
DAC can send to an external alarms management host
By default, all T-DAC alarms are set to display as major (orange) events, but you can use the Alarm Systems
management windows to customize them, assigning a higher or lower level of severity to each item as desired.
Your choices are critical (red), major (orange), minor (yellow), informational (blue), or ignore (no color).
Alarm System Overview window
The Alarm System Overview window (see figure 13) and related windows enable you to manage the T-DAC’s
alarm system. Click on the Alarms hyperlink in the T-DAC’s Configuration Menu to display the Alarm System
Overview window.
Note From the Alarm System Overview window the system administrator can
force the T-DAC to generate alarms for testing purposes as well as clear
selected alarms.
Introduction 49
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 4 • Alarms
Figure 13. Alarm System Overview window (Model 3096RC version shown)
The T-DAC uses three methods to indicate an alarm condition:
• Front panel LED and rear blade indications—The front panel ALARM LED and rear blade ALARM LED
uses the following three states to indicate the presence and severity of an alarm:
- Off—No alarm is active
- Solid—Minor alarm
- Flashing—Major alarm
Note The T-DAC’s factory-default configuration is to consider all alarms to
be major (orange) ones, so unless you customize the alarms severity levels (see section “Alarm Severity Configuration” on page 54), any alarm
that occurs will cause the ALARM LED to flash, indicating a major
alarm—the LED will never indicate a minor alarm.
Note If both power supplies are functioning normally, the POWER LED
will display a solid light, but if one or more power supplies fail, the
POWER LED will flash.

Figure 14. Sample alarm indications
• Management web page indication—The Alarms section (see figure 14) of the Alarm System Overview win-
dow (see figure 13 on page 50) uses color-coded highlighting to indicate which alarms are active and the
severity levels of active alarms.
- RED: indicates that one or more CRITICAL (severity 4) alarms are active. When active, critical alarm
notifications also appear as red highlighting on the HOME window (see figure 4 on page 38) and as a
flashing red star (see figure 137 on page 252) on the System Status window (see figure 136 on page 252).
- ORANGE: indicates that one or more MAJOR (severity 5) alarms are active. When active, major alarm notifi-
cations also appear as orange highlighting on the HOME window (see figure 4 on page 38) and as an orange
exclamation mark (see figure 137 on page 252) on the System Status window (see figure 136 on page 252).
- YELLOW: indicates that one or more MINOR (severity 6) alarms are active. When active, minor alarm
notifications also appear as yellow highlighting on the HOME window (see figure 4 on page 38) and as a
yellow triangle (see figure 137 on page 252) on the System Status window (see figure 136 on page 252).
- BLUE: indicates that one or more INFORMATIONAL (severity 7) alarms are active. Being informa-
tional in nature, these alarms only appear on the Alarm System main window to indicate that an event has
occurred, they do not generate alarm indications anywhere else.
• External host indication—For external notification, the T-DAC can be configured to send a Syslog event
notification or an SNMP trap message (or both) to an external alarms management host. To configure the
T-DAC to send SNMP traps or Syslog messages in response to alarm conditions, click on the Modify
Parameters hyperlink (see figure 14 on page 51) to open the Alarm System Configuration—Alarm Response
Outputs window (refer to section “Alarm System Configuration window” on page 52).
In addition to viewing current alarm status, you can force the T-DAC to generate an alarm as a test by clicking
on the Generate Alarm button for the desired alarm. Click on the Clear Alarm button to clear the alarm
when the test is concluded.

As shown in figure 13 on page 50, the Alarms System Overview window provides links to the following alarm
system management windows:
• Modify Parameters—links to the Alarm System Configuration window (see figure 16) for configuring the
alarm response system with the IP addresses of one or more administrators who should be notified in case of
an alarm (refer to section “Alarm System Configuration window”).
• Modify Severity—links to the Alarm Severity Configuration window (see figure 18 on page 54) where you can
configure the severity (importance) of each alarm. For each alarm, you can defined the value of Alarm Sever-
ity as critical, major, minor, informational, or ignore. Defining an alarm’s severity as ignore disables that alarm.
(refer to section “Alarm Severity Configuration” on page 54).
Alarm System Configuration window
When an alarm condition occurs, by default the T-DAC does the following to notify administrators of the alarm:
• Activates the front and rear panel Alarm LEDs.
• Activates the alarm indications on the T-DAC web management windows (as color-coded highlighting on
the HOME window and as a color-coded symbol on the System Status window).
Alarms management windows 52
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 4 • Alarms
If it has been configured to do so, the T-DAC can also send Syslog and SNMP trap messages to an external alarm
management host. This section describes how to configure the Syslog and/or SNMP trap alarm response outputs.
Figure 17. Modify Parameters and Modify Severity links on Alarm System Overview window
Click on Modify Parameters (see figure 17) to open the Alarm System Configuration window (see figure 16).
Choose the alarm response output that you wish to configure. After defining the value for a desired alarm response
output parameter, click the Modify button to the right of the parameter you just modified.
You must click Modify for each parameter you modify in order to
save your changes. Each submit query button on this page only
IMPORTANT
affects the single parameter on the same line. Clicking a Modify
button will not save changes made to parameter values on
other lines.
The following sections describe the Alarm Response Output parameters.
Alarm Syslog Priority (syslogAlarmPriority)
Syslog is a protocol that enables the T-DAC to send event notification messages across IP networks to event message collectors (also known as Syslog Servers or Syslog Daemons). The Alarm Syslog Priority parameter defines what
priority level an event must be at before the T-DAC sends a message to the Syslog daemon. The levels are:
• priorityDisable(1000)
• prioritySystem(80)
• priorityService(60)
• priorityOddity(40)
• priorityInfo(20)
• priorityDebug(10)
• priorityVerbose(5)
Note Unless instructed to do otherwise by Patton Technical Support, you
should leave the Alarm Syslog priority set for prioritySystem(80)
(which will only generate a Syslog message for incidents greater than
the System priority level) or priorityDisable(1000) (which deactivates
Syslog message sending).
For more information on Syslog messages, refer to chapter “System Log” on page 274.
Board Temperature Threshold (boxAlarmTemperature)
An alarm message is generated when the internal box temperature exceeds this value in degrees Celsius. You can
change the threshold temperature, but we recommend using the factory default of 55°C (131°F).

Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 4 • Alarms
Alarm Trap Manager 1 through 4 (alarmTrapIp0–alarmTrapIp3)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap daemons are a tool for managing TCP/IP networks, they
are a simple method of alerting a management host of a problem with a device or application. The Alarm Trap
Manager parameter is the IP address of a host running the SNMP trap daemon that will be receiving messages
sent from the T-DAC. Upon the occurrence of an alarm, the T-DAC sends an SNMP trap message to the host
system (or a management station) defined by this parameter.
The Alarm Trap Manager requires that an IP address be entered.
If you do not want the T-DAC to send SNMP trap messages,
IMPORTANT
entering an address of 0.0.0.0 disables SNMP trap
message sending.
Alarm Severity Configuration
This section describes configuring alarm severity levels. Clicking on Modify Severity (see figure 13 on page 50)
displays the Alarm Severity Configuration window (see figure 18) listing of T-DAC alarms. From this window
you can assign the severity for each alarm (critical, major, minor, informational, or ignore).
Figure 18. Alarm Severity Configuration window
Note The T-DAC’s factory-default configuration is to consider all alarms to
be major (orange) ones, unless you customize the alarm’s severity levels.
The alarms can be independently configured to generate alarm messages. Each alarm item can be set for one of
the following severity levels:
critical(4)—When active, critical alarm notifications appear as red highlighting on the HOME window (see
figure 4 on page 38) and as a flashing red star (see figure 137 on page 252) on the System Status window (see
figure 136 on page 252).
major(5)—When active, major alarm notifications appear as orange highlighting on the HOME window (see
figure 4 on page 38) and as an orange exclamation mark (see figure 137 on page 252) on the System Status win-
dow (see figure 136 on page 252).
• minor(6)—When active, minor alarm notifications appear as yellow highlighting on the HOME window
(see figure 4 on page 38) and as a yellow triangle (see figure 137 on page 252) on the System Status window
(see figure 136 on page 252).
Alarms management windows 54
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 4 • Alarms
• informational(7)—Being informational in nature, these alarms only appear as blue highlighting on the
Alarm System main window to indicate that an event has occurred, they do not generate alarm indications
anywhere else.
• ignore(0)—The T-DAC will not generate an alarm.
You can disable an alarm (as appropriate for your application)
by defining its severity as ignore.

Introduction
To route traffic from one device connected to the T-DAC to another device (also connected to the T-DAC) you
must define a DS0 mapping (also called an internal connection or cross-connection). An internal cross-connection
carries traffic between the two external devices via the T-DAC. The external devices can be (but are not limited
to) a T1/E1 NTU, a G.SHDSL customer premise equipment (CPE) modem, or another blade in the same
CPCI chassis in which the T-DAC is installed.
The T-DAC’s DS0 Mapping Overview window (see figure 19) provides the means for managing (mapping)
internal connections.
Note DS0 Mapping device and port options for the T-DAC family of
products are as follows:
• 3096RC—G.SHDSL ports (16), T1/E1 ports (up to 16), and
H.110 ports (32)
• 3196RC— iDSL ports (16), T1/E1 ports (up to 16), and H.110
ports (32)
• 2616RC—T1/E1 ports (16), H.110 ports (32)
Because of the similarities between TDACs, DS0 and fallback mapping examples presented in this chapter are generic and meant to be
used only as a guide—apply DS0 mapping to your particular T-DAC
as appropriate.
External devices can connect to the T-DAC via a T1/E1 WAN port, a DSL port, or an H.110 port. (A device
will connect to an H.110 port via the T-DAC’s interface to the H.110 bus in the cPCI chassis midplane). Each
DS0 mapping defines a one-to-one connection between a selected number of timeslots on one port and a corresponding number of timeslots on a different port. You can use the DS0 Mapping management web page to
define these DS0 mappings (internal connections) and to view previously defined mappings.

Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 5 • DS0 Mapping
The following types of internal connections can be defined (note that DSL connections cannot be defined for
the 2616RC:
• Between a DSL port and a T1/E1 WAN port
• Between a DSL port and another DSL port
• Between a DSL port and an H.110 bus port
• Between a T1/E1 WAN port and another T1/E1 WAN port
• Between a T1/E1 WAN port and the H.110 bus port
DS0 Mapping Overview main window
The DS0 Mapping Configuration window and related windows provide the means for you to manage the TDAC’s DS0 mapping subsystem. To display the DS0 Mapping Configuration window (see figure 19), on the TDAC Configuration Menu, click the DS0 Mapping link.
The DS0 Mapping window provides links to the DS0 Connection, DS0 Fallback, and DS0 Fallback ID windows
(see figure 20) described later in this chapter.

Clicking on the Modify Fallback Configuration link (see figure 19 on page 58) opens the DS0 Fallback Configu-
ration window (see figure 21 on page 61), where you can define mappings between primary and fallback chan-
nels and view the T-DAC’s table of previously defined fallback mappings.
The DS0 mapping window contains the following:
• Modify Fallback Configuration link that takes you to the DS0 Mapping subsystem where you can configure
a fallback mechanism by which the T-DAC can switch the traffic from a failed primary channel to a backup or fallback channel (see section “DS0 Fallback Configuration window” on page 61)
• Display Option menu you can use to select the Long Form or the Command Line Form methods for configur-
ing the cross-connection mapping (see section “Display Option parameter” on page 66)
• Mapping Help button that displays the online help window (see section “Mapping Help” on page 67)
• Configure Static Connections section where you can create the cross-connections (see section “Configuring
static connections using the long form” on page 67 or section “Defining DS0 mappings using the command line interface (CLI)” on page 70)

the T-DAC (see section “Defined Mappings Table (Static Connections)” on page 72)
DS0 mapping and in-band management
When in-band management (see chapter 11, “In-band management” on page 149) is configured, some of the
DS0’s bandwidth is no longer available for standard DS0 mapping. If a Model 6511RC Matrix Switch is not in
the ForeFront chassis, in-band management provides access to the management service in all cards installed in
the ForeFront chassis.
Non-blocking system constraints with in-band management
Each 3096RC & 3196RC T-DAC module provides a pool of 4096 simplex DS0s for DS0 mapping to other
ForeFront modules. These DS0s are for interconnecting ports between modules via the ForeFront’s midplane.
Each module-to-module mapping requires a minimum of two simplex DS0s, one for transmitting and one for
receiving. The 3096RC and 3196RC T-DAC’s support totally non-blocking, any-to-any mapping using all
4096 DS0 simplex channels.
Configuring Chassis Management Channels for in-band management is a special case. The T-DAC automatically allocates half of its DS0 pool (2048 DS0s) to in-band management. This allocation reduces the T-DAC’s
pool of DS0s for DS0 inter-module mapping from 4096 to 2048 simplex DS0s. However, with proper system
design, the allocation of 2048 DS0s is rarely limiting.
If one or more Chassis Management Channels have been configured, the T-DAC’s DS0 mapping subsystem of
4096 simplex DS0s is split into two pools (each with 2048 DS0s): one pool for the Chassis Management
Channel and the other for mapping to other ForeFront modules (see the note below for how many DS0s are
used in a Chassis Management Channel). You may select from any of the unused DS0 ports and time slots.
(“Unused” means a DS0 port and time slot that have not specifically been assigned a DS0 mapping to another
card or a CMC.
Upon deleting the last Chassis Management Channel, the T-DAC de-allocates the 2048 DS0s reserved for inband management, returning them to the pool so all 4096 DS0s are again available for mappings to other
modules.
Note The T-DAC supports a maximum of 10 full-duplex Chassis Manage-
ment Channels. Each Chassis Management Channel utilizes 2 DS0s,
one for transmitting and one for receiving. As a result, 10 Chassis Management Channels utilize only 20 DS0s from the 2048 DS0s allocated
to the function.
System design considerations and guidelines
In order to maximize the T-DAC’s throughput while using the Chassis Management Channel feature, remember the following points when defining standard (non-management) DS0 mappings. When Chassis Management Channels are implemented, the following T-DAC mappings utilize DS0s from the pool of 2048 DS0s
available for mappings to other modules:
• Between any T-DAC G.SHDSL port (Model 3096RC) or iDSL port (Model 3196RC) and any DS0 used
to map to another module
• Between any T-DAC T1/E1 port any used to map to another module.
DS0 mapping and in-band management 60
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 5 • DS0 Mapping
When Chassis Management Channel is implemented, the following guideline will assist in achieving maximum user-data throughput through the Model 3096RC T-DAC:
• Total number of simplex DS0s used to map G.SHDSL and/or T1/E1 ports to and from another module
must not exceed 2048.
DS0 Fallback Configuration window
The DS0 Mapping subsystem provides a fallback mechanism by which the T-DAC can switch traffic from a
failed primary channel (channel is defined as a group of time slots on a given port) to a previously defined fallback channel. Once you have defined a fallback mapping, the T-DAC will monitor the primary channel for
failure and, should the primary channel fail, the fallback channel will switch in (take over the traffic) for the
primary channel. Once it has switched in, the fallback channel will carry all traffic the primary channel previously carried.
Clicking on the DACS Fallback System link (see figure 19 on page 58) opens the DS0 Fallback Configuration
window (see figure 21), where you can define mappings between primary and fallback channels and view the
T-DAC’s table of previously defined fallback mappings.
Figure 21. DACS Fallback Configuration window
Fallback Help button
When you click the Fallback Help button, the T-DAC will display the Fallback Mapping Help page in a new
window (see figure 22). The Fallback Mapping Help page provides a procedural outline and a summarized
description of the parameters for defining a fallback mapping.

Figure 22. Fallback Mapping help window
Watch the following ports for a failure state
The Watch the following ports for a failure state section parameters (see figure 19 on page 58) define the primary
channel in a fallback mapping.
Watch Port Type (daxWatchTypegshDSL)
The port type for the primary channel port. Select one of the following values from the drop-down menu.
• none(0)
• t1-e1(1) (all models)
• gshDSL(4) (Model 3096RC) or iDSL(2) (Model 3196RC)
Watch Port Number (daxWatchPortgshDSL)
The Watch Port Number corresponds to one of the T-DAC’s 16 G.SHDSL (Model 3096RC) or iDSL (Model
3196RC) ports, or one of the 4, 8, 12, or 16 T1/E1 WAN ports. Within each port type, port numbers begin
with 1 and end with the total number of ports of that type (e.g. 16 for G.SHDSL). As an example, to define a
primary channel using the T-DAC third WAN port, you would select Port 3 as the value for Watch
Port Number.
Watch Port Slots (daxWatchSlot)
The Watch Port Slots parameters define which time slots will comprise the primary channel for the fallback
mapping. Each time slot provides a 64 kbps data communications channel. Such a 64 kbps channel is also
known as a DS0. The following time slots are available:
• G.SHDSL (Model 3096RC) modem port: 36 time slots (DS0s) numbered 1 through 36, or iDSL (Model
3196RC) modem port: 3 DS0s at 144 kbps
• T1 WAN port: 24 time slots (DS0s), numbered 1 through 24
• E1 WAN port: 32 time slots (DS0s), numbered 1 through 32
• H.110 streams can support up to 128 slots.
Note You must define the same number of time slots for the primary and
fallback channels. In other words, the number of time slots defined
for Watch Port Slots must equal the number of time slots defined for
Fallback Port Slots.
DS0 Fallback Configuration window 62
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 5 • DS0 Mapping
To define value for the time slots parameter, you will enter a text string specifying which time slot numbers will
be used for the channel. You must enter the text string using a prescribed notation comprised of the following
elements:
• Numerals—Use numerals (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) to represent time slot numbers
• Comma—Use the comma (,) to separate non-contiguous timeslots. For example, the string 1,7,15 repre-
sents three timeslots numbered 1, 7 and 15.
Note You may also use the comma to separate contiguous timeslots. How-
ever, since it is inefficient and may be confusing, doing so is not recommended.
• Dash—Use the dash ( - ) to represent a series of contiguous timeslots. For example, the string 1–32 repre-
sents all timeslots between 1 and 32 inclusive (i.e. time slot 1, time slot 32 and all time slots in between).
Slot Numbering Examples. For example, to define a channel comprising timeslots 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 15, either
of the following entries would be valid.
• 1,2,5-7,15
• 1-2,5-7,15
Note Do not insert spaces after the commas.
Although the first string above is valid syntax, the second string is easier to read, and more clearly shows what is
going on.
In case of failure, switch to the following port
The In case of failure, switch to the following port section parameters (see figure 19 on page 58) define the alternate (backup) channel in a fallback mapping. If the fallback channel comprises a T1/E1 or DSL port (i.e. not
an H.110 connection), you must define the first fallback port only, (i.e. the first three parameters) as shown in
table 3. When the fallback channel comprises an H.110 connection, you must define both fallback ports (i.e.
all six parameters) as shown in table 3.

The first set of fallback port parameters (Fallback Port Type, Fallback Port Number, and Fallback Port Slots)
defines the transmit connection to the H.100 bus from the T-DAC. The second set of fallback port parameters
defines the receive connection from the H.110 bus to the T-DAC. The following sections describe the fallback
channel parameters.
DS0 Fallback Configuration window 63
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 5 • DS0 Mapping
Fallback Port Type (daxFallbackTypegshDSL)
This parameter defines the port type for the fallback channel. Select one of the following values from the dropdown menu:
• none(0)
• t1-e1(1)
• gshDSL(4) (Model 3096RC) or iDSL(2) (Model 3196RC)
• toH110(5)
Note Selecting toH110(5) defines only the fallback transmit channel to the
H.110 bus. You must also define the fallback receive channel from
the H.110 bus by selecting fromH110(6) as the value of the second
Fallback Port Type parameter (see section “Fallback Port Type
fromH110(0) (daxFallbackTypegshDSLH110)” on page 64).
Fallback Port Number (daxFallbackPortGsDS)
The Fallback Port Number corresponds to one of the T-DAC’s 16 G.SHDSL or iDSL ports, one of the 4, 8, 12,
or 16 T1/E1 WAN ports, or one of the 32 H.110 ports. Within each port type, port numbers begin with 1 and
end with the total number of ports of that type (for example, 16 for G.SHDSL, 32 for H.110). As an example,
to define a fallback transmit channel using the T-DAC third H.110 port, you would select Port 3(3) as the
value for Fallback Port Number.
Fallback Port Slots (daxFallbackSlot)
The Fallback Port Slots parameters define which time slots will comprise the alternate (fallback) channel for
the fallback mapping. Use the same notation as for Watch Port Slots, as described in section “Watch Port Slots
(daxWatchSlot)” on page 62.
Fallback Port Type fromH110(0) (daxFallbackTypegshDSLH110)
This parameter defines the port type for fallback receive channel from the H.110 bus to the T-DAC. Select one
of the following values from the drop-down menu.
• none(0)
• fromH110(6)
Note Selecting fromH110(6) defines only the fallback receive channel from
the H.110 bus. In order to fully define an H.110 fallback channel,
you must first define the transmit channel to the H.100 bus by selecting toH110(5) as the value of the first Fallback Port Type parameter
(see section “Fallback Port Type (daxFallbackTypegshDSL)” on
page 64).
Fallback Port Number (daxFallbackPortgshDSLH11)
The Fallback Port Number corresponds to one of the T-DAC’s 32 H.110 ports. For example, to define a fall-
back receive channel using the T-DAC’s fourth H.110 port, you would select port 4(4) as the value of Fallback
Port Number.
DS0 Fallback Configuration window 64
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 5 • DS0 Mapping
Fallback Port Slots (daxFallbackSlotH110)
This parameter defines which time slots will comprise the fallback receive channel from the H.110 bus to the
T-DAC for the fallback mapping. Use the same notation as for Watch Port Slots (see section “Watch Port Slots
(daxWatchSlot)” on page 62).
Port Fallback Table
The Port Fallback Table (see figure 21 on page 61) displays a list of all existing fallback mappings which a T-
DAC operator has previously defined. Each row in the table displays a single fallback mapping, identified by an
ID number.
Fallback Mapping ID
Clicking the fallback mapping ID hyperlink displays the DAX Fallback ID window, which you can use to
delete the specified fallback mapping or change the value of the fallback Recovery Type parameter (see section
“DS0 Fallback ID (DAX Fallback ID) window”)
The parameters comprising each fallback mapping are described in the paragraphs above, with one the exception—Recovery Type (see section “Recovery Type (daxFallbackRecovery)”).
Recovery Type (daxFallbackRecovery)
The Recovery Type parameter defines how the T-DAC will behave when the primary channel in a fallback
mapping recovers (returns to normal operation) once the fallback channel has switched in. There are two
options for the value of Recovery Type.
• userForceRecovery(0)—Default. When the primary channel port recovers and all failures are cleared, the T-
DAC will continue to route traffic over the fallback channel until the T-DAC operator intervenes.
To force traffic back to the primary channel:
- On the DS0 Mapping page, in the Static Connections table, find the connection for which you wish to
force recovery.
- On the right-most side of the row, click the Force Recovery button
• autoRecovery(1)—When the primary channel port recovers and all failures are cleared, the T-DAC will
automatically switch back to the primary channel defined for the connection and resume routing all traffic
for the connection over the primary channel.
DS0 Fallback ID (DAX Fallback ID) window
For the selected fallback mapping the DS0 Fallback ID window provides the capability to:
• Delete an existing DS0 fallback mapping (backup connection)
• Change the value of the fallback Recovery Type parameter.
The page also displays all parameters which define the selected fallback mapping.
Viewing the DS0 Fallback ID window
To view the DS0 Fallback ID window for a specific DS0 Fallback Mapping (backup connection):
1. On the DS0 Fallback page, under Port Fallback Table, find the Connection ID number for the fallback
mapping you wish to view.
DS0 Fallback Configuration window 65
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 5 • DS0 Mapping
2. Click the Connection ID number hyperlink to display the DS0 Fallback ID window for the selected connection ID.
Deleting a Fallback Mapping
To delete the Fallback Mapping displayed on the DS0 Fallback ID window:
1. In the drop-down menu for the Connection Status parameter, ensure that the value delete(1) is selected.
2. Click the Submit Query button to delete the connection (DS0 mapping).
Force Recovery button
When a fallback channel switches in for a primary channel, the T-DAC will display a force recovery button to
the far right of the table, next to the entry for the failed connection. However, the button will only appear if
the fallback connection is defined in Force Recovery mode. If the fallback connection is defined in Auto Recovery mode, the button will not appear.
Display Option parameter
To define DS0 mappings (connections), you can use either the Long Form or the Command Line Form. To
choose the method you prefer, use the Display Option drop-down box (see figure 21 on page 61) to select one
of the following parameter values:
• displayLongForm(0)—(Factory Default). Most people consider Long Form the easier method for defining
DS0 mappings.The Long Form displays the DS0 Mapping page in the standard management window format with drop-down boxes and text box fields. Use this format to define the DS0 Mapping parameters by
selecting values from drop-down boxes and typing values in the text box fields. (Refer to section “Configur-
ing static connections using the long form” on page 67 for information on using the Long Form to config-
ure static connections.)
• displayCliForm(1)—Advanced users of the command line interface (CLI) method may consider CLI a faster
and more convenient method than the Long Form. To use CLI to define DS0 mappings, select
displayCliForm(1) and click on the Modify button. The DS0 Mapping page will refresh, displaying a single
text box (in place of the drop-down boxes and text box parameter fields) into which you may enter CLI
commands. (Refer to section “Defining DS0 mappings using the command line interface (CLI)” on
page 70 for information on using the CLI to configure static connections.)

Mapping Help
Clicking on the Mapping Help button displays the DS0 Mapping Help window (see figure 20). The DS0 Mapping Help page provides a convenient online tutorial on how to use the T-DAC’s web management pages to
define DS0 mappings (cross-connections). The tutorial includes definitions for all configurable parameters on
the DS0 Mapping web page. If you are using command line format to define DS0 connections, scroll down to
the Command Line Format heading.
Figure 23. DACS Help Information window
Configuring static connections using the long form
To create a DS0 mapping (cross-connection) between external devices, you must define channels A and B.
External devices may include (but are not limited to) an NTU, a G.SHDSL CPE, or another blade installed in
the same CPCI chassis as the T-DAC.
Figure 24. Configure Static Connections section of DS0 Mapping Configuration window
The drop-down menus in the Configure Static Connections section of the DS0 Mapping Configuration window
(see figure 24) are organized into A and B channels. These channel names have been arbitrarily chosen and, as
all data will be bi-directional, do not signify the direction that data will travel. In displayLongForm mode, you
will use drop-down menus and text boxes to define the DS0 mapping parameters. The following parameters
define each channel the mapped connection (see figure 24).
• Device type (Dev Type)
• Device number (Dev Num) (see page 68)
• Device slots (Dev Slots) (see page 69)
Device Type A (daxDeviceTypeTogshDSL)
The Dev Type A menu defines the type of interface port the T-DAC will use for the A channel of this connection.

Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 5 • DS0 Mapping
Note Both channels of the connection can be T1/E1 or both sides can be
G.SHDSL (Model 3096RC) or iDSL (Model 3196RC) or just the B
channel could be configured (in the event you needed to create an
H.110 loopback).
The options are:
• none(0)
• t1-e1(1)—T1/E1 WAN ports for connection to a T1/E1 WAN line
• gshDSL(4)—G.SHDSL ports for connection to a G.SHDSL modem (Model 3096RC) or
iDSL(2)—iDSL ports for connection to an iDSL modem (Model 3196RC).
Device Type B (daxDeviceTypeFromgshDSL) (daxDeviceTypeRxgshDSL)
The Dev Type B menu defines the type of interface port the T-DAC will use for the B channel of this connection.
The user has the option of selecting a T1/E1 device, a DSL device, or the H.110 midplane (the H.110 selection
can only be done from the B channel selection because it requires a To and From direction identifier.
Note On the DS0 Mapping window, under Device B, there are two rows of
parameter fields for defining H.110 connections. When defining a T1/
E1 or DSL connection, do not define the parameters in the second row
(i.e. leave the menu set to none(0)). When defining an H.110 connection, you must define values for all parameters in both rows.
Each connection to the H.110 bus consists of a pair of logical ports. The T-DAC transmits data to the H.110
bus using one logical port, and receives data from the H.110 bus on a different logical port. Under Device B,
the DS0 Mapping page provides two rows of parameter fields for defining H.110 connections. When defining
an H.110 connection, you must define values for all parameters in both rows. The parameters in the first row
under Device B define the transmit port (to the H.110 bus) and parameters in the second row under Device B
define the receive port (from the H.110 bus).
In the first row, the following options are available for Dev Type B:
• none(0)
• t1-e1(1)—T1/E1 WAN ports for connection to a T1/E1 WAN line
• gshDSL(4)—G.SHDSL ports for connection to a G.SHDSL modem (Model 3096RC) or
iDSL(2)—iDSL ports for connection to an iDSL modem (Model 3196RC)
• toH110(5)—H.110 port for transmitting data to the H.110 bus via the CPCI chassis backplane.
In the second row, the following options are available for Dev Type B:
• none(0)
• fromH110(6)—H.110 port for receiving data from the H.110 bus via the CPCI chassis backplane.
Device Number A (daxDeviceNumberTogshDSL) and Device Number B
(daxDeviceNumberFromgshDSL) (daxDeviceNumberRxgshDSL)
The parameters labeled Dev Num A and Dev Num B define the ports the T-DAC will use for channel A and
channel B. The Device Number will correspond to one of the T-DAC’s 16 G.SHDSL (Model 3096RC) or

iDSL (Model 3196RC) ports; 4, 8, 12, or 16 T1/E1 WAN ports; or 32 H.110 ports. Within each port type,
port numbers begin with 1 and end with the total number of ports of that type (for example, 16 for G.SHDSL
and 32 for H.110). For instance, to define a connection for channel A using the T-DAC’s third DSL modem
port, you would select Port 3 as the value for Device Number A.
Device Slots A and B (daxDeviceSlotTo) (daxDeviceSlotFrom)
The Device Slots A and Device Slots B parameters define which 64-kbps time slots (also referred to as the DS0
data communications channels) will be used for channel A and channel B. The following time slots are available:
There are a maximum of 32 ports available for the H.110 bus,
but there could be as few as 4 ports available for the T1/E1
IMPORTANT
ports. If the port number selected is not within the range supported an error will be generated.
• G.SHDSL modem port: 36 time slots (DS0s), numbered 1 through 36 (36 64-kbps slots are needed to cre-
ate a 2.3-Mbps link).
• iDSL modem port: 3 timeslots (DS0s), numbered 1 through 3
• T1 WAN port: 24 time slots (DS0s), numbered 1 through 24
• E1 WAN port: 32 time slots (DS0s), numbered 1 through 32
• H.110 streams can support up to 128 slots.
Note You must define the same number of time slots for each side of the con-
nection. In other words, the number of time slots defined for Slots A
must be the same as the number of time slots defined for Slots B.
To configure the time slots parameter, enter a text string specifying which time slot numbers will be used for
the channel. You must enter a text string that comprises the following elements:
• Numerals—Use numerals (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) to represent time slot numbers
• Comma—Use the comma (,) to separate non-contiguous timeslots. For example, the string 1,7,15 repre-
sents three timeslots numbered 1, 7 and 15.
Note You can also use the comma to separate contiguous time slots. How-
ever, since it is inefficient and may be confusing, doing so is not recommended.
• Dash (-)—Use the dash (-) to represent a series of contiguous timeslots. For example, the string 1–32 repre-
sents all timeslots between 1 and 32 inclusive (that is, time slot 1, time slot 32 and all time slots in
between).
Slot Numbering Examples
For example, to define a channel comprising timeslots 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 15, either of the following entries
would be valid:
• 1,2,5,6,7,15
• 1,2,5-7,15

Although the first string above is valid syntax, the second string is easier to read, and more clearly shows what is
going on. The following strings are also valid syntax:
• 1-2,5,6,7,15
• 1-2,5,6-7,15
• 1-2,5-6,7,15
While the entries above would work, they are harder to grasp quickly than the first two examples. Beyond the
cluttered appearance of these last three strings, they tend to obscure the part of reality they represent: the contiguous block of timeslots from 5-7.
After entering the parameters required to define the DS0 mapping, go to section “Saving a DS0

access memory (RAM) in order to activate the connection.
Defining DS0 mappings using the command line interface (CLI)
To define a new connection using CLI, you must enter text strings in the following format:
DeviceA:PortA:SlotsA/DeviceB:PortB:SlotsB
DeviceA and DeviceB define the type of interface the T-DAC will use for each channel of the connection. The
following options are available:
• 1) t1-e1
• 2) gshDSL or iDSL ports
• 3) toH110
• 4) from H110
PortA and PortB define which one of its 16 G.SHDSL or iDSL ports; 4, 8, 12, or 16 WAN ports; or 32 H.110
ports the T-DAC will use for each channel of the connection. The value must be a number from 1 to 16 inclusive.
The Device Slots A and Device Slots B parameters define which 64-kbps time slots (also referred to as the DS0
data communications channels) will be used for channel A and channel B. The following time slots are available:

ports. If the port number selected is not within the range supported an error will be generated.
• G.SHDSL or iDSL modem port:
- G.SHDSL modem port: 36 time slots (DS0s), numbered 1 through 36 (36 64-kbps slots are needed to
create a 2.3-Mbps link)
- iDSL modem port: 3 timeslots (DS0s), numbered 1 through 3
• T1 WAN port: 24 time slots (DS0s), numbered 1 through 24
• E1 WAN port: 32 time slots (DS0s), numbered 1 through 32

Saving a DS0 mapping definition
Now that you have entered the parameters required to define the DS0 mapping you must save your crossconnection map to the T-DAC’s random access memory (RAM) in order to activate the connection. To save
the DS0 mapping, click the Submit Query button to save the static connection.
Defined Mappings Table (Static Connections)
The defined mapping (Static Connections) section of the DS0 Mapping Configuration window (see figure 25)
displays all previously defined DS0 mappings (cross-connections) in the T-DAC. The parameter details are
described in the following paragraphs.
Figure 25. Configure Static Connections section of DS0 Mapping Configuration window
ID (daxConnectionID)
The connection ID is a number (a positive non-zero integer) that uniquely identifies each DS0 mapping. Connection IDs start with the number one (1), and are incremented sequentially. As DS0 mappings (connections)
are defined, the T-DAC assigns connection IDs automatically. When the user enters DS0 mapping parameters
and clicks the Submit Query button, the T-DAC automatically assigns the next available ID number in
sequence to that connection.
Fallback
For DS0 mappings for which no fallback connection is defined, this column will be blank. For DS0 mappings
with a defined fallback connection, the value in the Fallback column indicates whether the DS0 mapping displayed in that row is the primary or a backup connection. The first row will display the primary connection
and the second row will display the defined backup connection. If the backup connection maps to the H.110
bus, a third row will display the parameters associated with the receive channel (the logical port on which the
T-DAC receives data from the H.110 bus). For a backup connection displayed in the second row and third row
(in the case of an H.110 connections), the parameter names with their MIB variables are given below.

Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 6 • System Clocking
Introduction
During operation all modules within a ForeFront chassis (or within each chassis segment in the Model 6676)
synchronize TDM communications on all DS0 channels with a common clock pulse, called the reference
clock. System clocking parameters within each module define the source and the distribution of the reference
clock pulse. You can choose a Building Integrated System Timing (BITS) clock, any TDM WAN port within
the chassis, or an internal oscillator within a ForeFront module as the source of the ForeFront-chassis reference
clock. You may configure the T-DAC to generate, derive, or receive the reference clock. The T-DAC web management pages display two clocking source parameters, called the Main Reference and the Fallback Reference.
The clocking subsystem includes a fallback and auto-recovery mechanism, called the Fallback System. For the
fallback feature, the T-DAC monitors a clocking Main Reference (source) and switches to a Fallback Reference
(source) if the Main Reference becomes unavailable. Once the Main Reference clock is re-established, the autorecovery feature switches the clocking source back to the main reference. The T-DAC’s clocking fallback system
is factory disabled by default. To activate the T-DAC’s fallback system, you must enable it.
The following parameters control the T-DAC’s clocking subsystem—Clock Reference, Main Reference, Fallback
Reference, Clock Fallback, and Clock Auto Recover.
For each chassis you must configure one and only one module to be the clocking Master. Patton recommends
you also define one, and only one, module to be the clocking Secondary for each chassis (or chassis segment in
the Model 6676). You must define all remaining cards in the chassis to be clocking slaves.
During normal operation the Master provides the synchronizing clock pulse for the entire chassis (or chassis
segment). Certain failures (such as card failure or T1/E1 line failure) may render the Master unable to provide
the reference clock for the chassis. If the clocking Master becomes unable to provide the synchronizing clock,
the clocking Secondary card detects the failure and begins providing the synchronizing clock for the chassis.
For each chassis, you can define up to four separate clock sources: two for the clocking Master module and two
for the clocking Secondary module. At any given time, the modules within the chassis can use one, and only
one, of these references for synchronization. This restriction ensures all clock references synchronize to the
same upstream timing source (the Stratum clock).
If all four clock sources (the Master’s Main and Fallback References and the Secondary’s Main and Fallback
References) become unavailable, the Secondary card will provide its internal oscillator as the synchronizing
clock source for the ForeFront system. If the clocking Fallback System is enabled, the T-DAC automatically
uses the Fallback Reference for synchronization should the Main Reference fail. Similarly, if Clock Auto
Recover is enabled, the TDAC will automatically go back to the Main Reference when it becomes available.
The ForeFront system uses the clock reference options in a hierarchical sequence. If the Master’s Main Reference fails, the system will use the Master’s Fallback Reference. The entire hierarchical scheme is shown in the
following schematic.
Master’s Main Reference > Master’s Secondary Reference > Secondary’s Main Reference > Secondary’s Fallback Reference > Secondary’s Internal clock

System Clocking Configuration window
The System Clocking Configuration window enables you to define the system clocking parameters and view certain clocking status information. To display the System Clocking Configuration window (see figure 26), click the
System Clocking link on the Configuration Menu pane.
The System Clocking Configuration window includes the following items:
• System Clocking Configuration table—Displays the configurable system clocking parameters and non-
configurable (display-only) parameters (see section “System Clocking Configuration table” on page 77).
• Clock Sources Table—Displays all clock sources available for this card.
• Clocking Status Information area—Displays information on clock source, fallback indication, and
clock status.
• Fallback and auto recover area—enable/disable menu for fallback and auto recover.

The following sections describe the system clocking parameters.
Note When you have finished configuring the system clocking parameters,
remember to save the changes in non-volatile memory (see section
“Saving your work” on page 82 for details).

Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 6 • System Clocking
Clock Reference (sysGSClockMode)
The Clock Reference parameter defines the clocking mode for the 3096RC. The clocking mode you assign to
the T-DAC defines whether or not it provides the main reference clock to the entire chassis in which the TDAC resides. Clocking mode options are as follows:
• Master—In master mode (also referred to as primary mode) the T-DAC obtains the main reference clock
and provides it to other equipment installed in the chassis with the T-DAC. Because there can only be one
master clock source in the chassis, if the T-DAC is the only blade in the chassis, you must define the clocking mode as master, but if another blade in the chassis has already been defined as the master, do not define
the T-DAC’s clocking mode as master.
• Secondary—In secondary mode, the T-DAC provides a backup (referred to as secondary or fallback) refer-
ence clock. It will obtain the main reference clock and provide it to other equipment in the chassis only if
the device designated to provide the master clock reference fails. For reliability, we recommend having a secondary clocking blade defined for the chassis.
• Slave—In slave mode the T-DAC does not provide any clock reference. Frequently, the 3096RC will be
defined as a slave while another blade (such as the Patton Model 6511) is configured as the master.
To configure the T-DAC’s clocking mode, select one of the following values from the Clock Reference dropdown menu:
• master(1)—The T-DAC will obtain the main reference clock and provide it to the other equipment
installed in the chassis with the T-DAC
• secondary(2)—If the device designated to provide the chassis master clock reference fails, the T-DAC—as
the secondary source clocking for the chassis —will obtain the main reference clock and provide it to the
other equipment installed in the chassis with the T-DAC.
• slave(3)—The T-DAC will not provide clocking reference for any other blade in the chassis
Note In the event of failure of both primary and secondary clocks, all cards
in the chassis will switch to their own internal clock.

Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 6 • System Clocking
Main Reference (sysgshDSLClockMainRef) and Fallback Reference (sysgshDSLClockFallbackRef)
When a T-DAC’s clocking mode is defined to be Master or Secondary, the T-DAC System Clocking Configuration window displays the Main Reference and Fallback Reference parameters. When a T-DACS clocking mode is
defined to be Slave, the Main Reference and Fallback Reference parameters do not apply. In slave mode, the TDAC hides the Main Reference and Fallback Reference parameters to make them inaccessible (See figure 27).
The T-DAC will use the fallback reference if and only if the primary reference becomes unavailable. By default,
the clocking Fallback System is factory-disabled. To activate the T-DAC’s fallback system you must enable it
(see section“Enable/Disable Fallback System” on page 82).

When defining the primary and secondary clocking sources, you can select any one of the T-DAC’s WAN
ports, the T-DAC internal clock pulse oscillator, or building integrated system timing (BITS). Both parameters
will be defined from the same set of possible values. For the fallback reference to serve its purpose, however,
you must define it by selecting a value different from the main reference.
The T-DAC will use the main reference as its system clocking source unless the main reference fails or becomes
disconnected. When the primary reference becomes unavailable 3096RC will switch to the fallback reference as
its system clocking source.
You must also enable the T-DAC’s fallback mechanism (see section“Enable/Disable Fallback System” on
page 82). For the T-DAC’s main and fallback clocking references, you can choose:
• One of the T-DAC 4, 8, 12, or 16 WAN ports
• An internal oscillator residing within the T-DAC
• External—BITS clock (building integrated timing system)
Note For the external BITS clock setting to operate, you must connect the
BITS clock system at the installation site to the EXT CLOCK connector on one of the WAN Access Modules installed in the rear of the
ForeFront chassis.

• wan-16(16)—use WAN port #16 for the clock source
• internal(200)—use the internal free-running oscillator for the clock source.
Clocking Status (sysdaxClockFailure)
The Clocking Status parameter indicates which, if any, clocking source has failed. The T-DAC considers a
clocking source failed when:
• The T-DAC can no longer detect a pulse
• The T-DAC detects an incorrect number of clock pulses per frame.
The value of Clocking Status may be one of the following:
• no-failures(0)—The T-DAC has detected no failure in the clocking subsystem
• main-ref-fail(1)—The T-DAC’s primary clocking reference has failed
• fallback-ref-fail(2)—The T-DAC’s fallback clocking reference has failed
• master-system-clock-fail(4)—The clock signal provided by the blade in the cPCI chassis with its clocking
mode defined as Master has failed.
• secondary-system-clock-fail(8)—The clock signal provided by the blade in the cPCI chassis with its clock-
ing mode defined as Secondary has failed.
Fallback Indication (daxFallbackInd)
The Fallback Indication parameter indicates whether the T-DAC has switched to its defined secondary reference as its clocking source. The value of Fallback Indication may be one of the following:
• noError(0)
• fallbackActive(1)
Clock Status
The Clock Status field indicates alarm conditions relating to the T-DAC’s clocking subsystem. If there are no
alarms, the Clock Status field will indicate No Alarm (see figure 26 on page 77). If an alarm condition exists, an
Alarms Present message will be displayed along with one or more of the following failure descriptions as warranted by the situation (see figure 29):
Figure 29. Clock Status: Alarms Present indication
• Main Local Reference Fail—The T-DAC primary clocking reference has failed
• Fallback Local Reference Fail—The T-DAC’s fallback clocking reference has failed
• Master System Fail—The clock signal provided by the blade in the cPCI chassis with its clocking mode
defined as Master has failed.

Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 6 • System Clocking
• Secondary System Fail—The clock signal provided by the blade in the cPCI chassis with its clocking mode
defined as Secondary has failed.
• Fallback Indication—The T-DAC has switched its clocking source to the fallback reference.
Enable/Disable Fallback System
This parameter defines the T-DAC’s clocking fallback mechanism as enabled or disabled. By default, the clocking fallback mechanism is enabled at the factory before the T-DAC is shipped. To deactivate the T-DAC’s fallback system you must disable it. When disabled, the T-DAC will not use the fallback reference clocking source,
even if the primary reference becomes unavailable. To define the Enable/Disable Fallback System parameter,
select one of the following values from the drop-down box.
• disable(0)
• enable(1)
Once you have defined the desired value for the Enable/Disable Fallback System parameter, you must click the
adjacent Submit Query button to save your selection into volatile DRAM.
Enable/Disable Clock Auto Recover System
This parameter defines the T-DAC’s clocking auto recover mechanism as enabled or disabled.The clock auto
recover feature, when enabled, switches the T-DACS from fallback reference clock to primary reference clock
(when this becomes available again). By default, the clocking auto recover mechanism is enabled at the factory
before the T-DAC is shipped. To deactivate the T-DAC’s auto recover system you must disable it. When disabled, the T-DAC will not switch to primary reference clocking source, even if the primary reference becomes
available. To define the Enable/Disable Auto Recover System parameter, select one of the following values from
the drop-down box.
• disable(0)
• enable(1)
Once you have defined the desired value for the Enable/Disable Fallback System parameter, you must click the

Introduction
The T-DAC offers in-band management over Frame Relay or PPP (point-to-point protocol) links in the T1/E1
channels. The T-DAC’s Frame Relay subsystem manages the in-band management function over Frame Relay
links. This chapter discusses in-band management using Frame Relay (for PPP, see chapter 14, “PPP” on
page 215).
Configuring a Frame Relay link
The most common configuration is setting up the T-DAC as a DCE and connecting to a provider’s Frame
switch via a T1/E1 line. In this application, the T-DAC will establish a point-to-point link via one or more
DLCI’s or virtual channels. Each DLCI is a pipe with an associated far-end IP address.
A Frame Relay link is configured as follows:
• Selecting a T1/E1 DS0 for management using Frame Relay
• Selecting the correct Frame Relay configuration parameters (LMI)
• Assigning an IP address to the DLCI
• Assigning next-hop routes to the new DLCI
T1/E1 port and DS0 selection
The first stage in setting up a Frame Relay WAN link is configuring one or more DS0s on any T1 or E1 line for
Frame Relay in-band management. See chapter 20, “T1/E1 Link” on page 285 for T1/E1 port configuration.
1. Click on the T1/E1 Link under the configuration menu to display the T1/E1 Link Activity main window.
Select which T1/E1 port will carry the Frame Relay Link, then click on the View Link of the selected port.
2. Click on Channel Assignment link to access the WAN Circuit Channel Assignment window. Options for
the T1/E1 DS0s displayed on this window are:
– clear(9). The T1/E1 DS0s carry user data (default)
– framerelay(3). The selected DS0s will carry management data using Frame Relay
– ppp(5). The selected DS0s will carry management data using PPP
3. Use the drop down menu to select Frame Relay for the designated management channel(s). Set user data
DS0s to Clear.
4. Click on the Submit Query button for the configuration to take effect.
The Management DS0 IS now active on your T-DAC. The next stage is to configure Frame Relay and IP routing.

The Frame Relay main window
The Frame Relay main window displays diagnostic information about the Frame Relay link, and lists complete
statistics/configuration information for each WAN link that has been selected for in-band management over
Frame Relay service. Click on Frame Relay under the Configuration Menu to display the Frame Relay window
(see figure 35).

Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 8 • Frame Relay
Note If the Frame Relay window only shows the Produce Status Change Trap
setting (see figure 36), you need to do the following in the T1/E1
Link section:
• Change the Line Type for a WAN port from Other(1) to an appro-
priate line type from the menu of options (see section “WAN Cir-
cuit Configuration—Modify” on page 296 in chapter 20, “T1/E1
Link” for details).
• Configure at least one channel for Frame Relay (frameRelay3) oper-
ation (see section “WAN Circuit Configuration—Channel Assign-
ment” on page 300 in chapter 20, “T1/E1 Link” for details).
The Frame Relay main window also has the following links:
• Modify—Clicking on the Modify link enables you to set-up Frame Relay or to change any configuration
parameters (see section “DLMI window” on page 96).
• DLCI—The Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) provides each PVC with a unique identifier at both
the T-DAC and the Frame Relay switch. Within each link (DLMI) there can be multiple Permanent Virtual
Circuits (PVC). Each of these PVCs are point-to-point links to remote locations, and define the data path
between the T-DAC and the Frame Relay network. Clicking on the DLCI link displays the DLCI window
(see “DLCI window” on page 98) that enables you to configure PVCs on the T-DAC.
Link X (frDlcmiIfIndex)
The Data Link Management Interface number.
Status: X (framerelStatus)
This specifies LMI Link Status. If the management DLCI (either DLCI 0 or 1023) is established, then the status will be UP. If the management channel has not been established, the status will indicate DOWN.
HDLC Statistics on Link
The HDLC statistics on the link are defined as follows:
Transmit (Bits/Sec) (framerelTxOctets)
This statistic shows the transmit rate in bits-per-second.
Receive (Bits/Sec) (framerelRxOctets)
This statistic shows the receive rate in bits-per-second.
No Buffers Available (framerelRxNoBufferAvailable)
The number of packets received when no buffers were available.
Data Overflow (framerelRxDataOverflow)
The number of packets received with overflow (as indicated by hardware).
The Frame Relay main window 95
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 8 • Frame Relay
Message Ends (framerelRxMessageEnds)
The number of packets received with message-correct endings. This value increases each time a valid Frame
Relay packet is received.
Packets Too Long (framerelRxPacketTooLong)
The number of packets received that were too long.
Overflow (framerelRxOverflow)
The number of packets received with overflow (as indicated by software).
Aborts (FramerelRxAbort)
The number of packets received that were aborted.
Bad CRC (framerelRxBadCrc)
The number of packets received that had bad CRC values.
Invalid Frames (framerelRxInvalidFrame)
The number of packets received that had invalid frames.
Tx Underrruns (framerelTxUnderrun)
The number of times the transmit buffer was not replenished in time to be sent out on the line.
LINK Resets (framerelResets)
Number of times the link management (LMI) was reset.
Produce Status Change Trap (frTrapState)
This feature is not currently implemented.
DLMI window
Each Frame Relay instance with the T-DAC is known as the Data Link Management Interface or DLMI. The
T-DAC software currently supports one Frame Relay Link, or DLMI, on each of the T1/E1 WAN ports.
Frame Relay has a set of protocols responsible for maintaining the link. This is known as the management link
interface or LMI.
DLMI window 96
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 8 • Frame Relay
Figure 37. DLMI window
Signalling (frDlcmiState)
Inband signalling used to communicate link and PVC status between the User equipment and the Network
equipment. LMI is the generic term used to indicate Frame Relay signaling, however the three specific types of
signaling are:
• LMI Frame Relay Forum Implementation agreement. Uses DLCI = 1023 for management
• Annex D. ANSI T1.617 Uses DLCI = 0 for management
• Annex A. ITU Q.933 Uses DLCI = 0 for management
Data Link Protocol (frDlcmiAddress)
The layer 2 link protocol for Frame Relay is LAPF, otherwise referred to as Q.922. The factory default of
q922(4) will be the most common.
DLCI Length (frDlcmiAddressLen)
The DLCI identifies the virtual connection on the bearer channel for the Frame Relay Interface. The factory
setting of two-octets(2) represents 10-bit addressing. Your T-DAC can support a maximum of 32 separate
PVCs or virtual channels per Frame Relay link.
Polling Interval (T391)(frDlcmiPollingInterval)
Each side of the Frame Relay interface, the Network side and the User side, communicate status. T391 is the
number of seconds between subsequent Status Enquiry messages. An Error Count is logged if no response
from the previous Status Enquiry message was received during the T391 interval. The default value is 10.
DLMI window 97
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 8 • Frame Relay
Full Enquiry Interval (N391)(frDlcmiFullEnquiryInterval)
Status Enquiry messages are of two different varieties: 1) Link Integrity Verification, which simply exchange
sequence numbers between peers and 2) Full Status messages, which is a request from the peer for the list of all
active/inactive PVCs. The default is 6.
Error Threshold (N392)(frDlcmiErrorThreshold)
N392 is the number of errors (T392 and T391 timeouts and sequence number errors) before action is taken.
Action consists of changing all the PVCs from active to inactive. N392 must be less than or equal to N393.
The default value is 3.
Monitored Events (N393)(frDlcmiMonitoredEvents)
Expected and unexpected events are counted up till the Event Count reaches N393, whereupon the Event
Count is cleared and the Error Threshold Count is cleared. Events consist of timer (T391 and T392) expirations and received Status Enquiry messages. N393 must be greater or equal to N392. The default value is 4.
MultiCast Service (frDlcmiMulticast)
Not currently implemented.
Max Virtual Circuits (frDlcmiMaxSupportedVCs)
The maximum number of PVCs determines the amount of internal resources are allocated for the Frame Relay
system. The default value is 32.
LMI Interface (frDlcmiInterface)
LMI is used in the generic sense as an in-band signaling system. The signaling is slightly different depending
on which end of the Frame Relay Interface it is, or in other words its orientation. The User end issues periodic
STATUS ENQUIRY messages and waits for a STATUS reply from the Network. The USER setting is correct
if the T-DAC is a DCE connecting to a Frame Relay network. It is possible to configure an T-DAC to “look”
like a Frame Relay Network. By setting the LMI Interface to NETWORK, you can connect another Frame
Device directly to the T-DAC. This is also the setting if you were to connect two T-DAC back-to-back without
the benefit of an established Frame Relay network.
Bidirectional Polling (frDlcmiPollingBiDir)
Bidirectional Polling pertains only to the Network LMI side. If enabled, the Network LMI issues STATUS
ENQUIRY messages and waits for a STATUS reply from the User.
Polling Verification (T392)(frDlcmiPollingVerification)
Polling Verification pertains only to the Network LMI side. It is the amount of time permitted without receiving a STATUS ENQUIRY message from the User before Counting an Error.
DLCI window
The Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) provides each PVC with a unique identifier at both the T-DAC
and the Frame Relay switch. Within each link (DLMI) there can be multiple Permanent Virtual Circuits
(PVC). Each of these PVCs are point-to-point links to remote locations, and define the data path between the
T-DAC and the Frame Relay network.
DLCI window 98
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 8 • Frame Relay
Within each DLMI are one or more Data Link Channel Identifier (DLCIs). This is the identification of a PVC
within the Frame Relay link.
There will be at least one PVC automatically installed. This is the management DLCI or LMI. This DLCI,
often DLCI 0, is the communication channel between the T-DAC and the Frame Relay network switch. This
management channel communicates configuration and health information of the Frame Relay link. See
figure 38.
Figure 38. DLMI—Configuration View window
DLCI (frCircuitDlci)
The Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) for this virtual circuit.
Note DLCIs can automatically appear if your Frame Relay Service provider
has already configured your link. In this case, all you will need to
enter is the IP address of the router at the far end of the link.
Interface # (FrameIPInterfaceNum)
The interface number assigned to a DLCI. This is a variable number which is assigned from a resource pool
within the T-DAC.
State (frCircuitState)
This is the state of the interface with the following definitions:
• invalid(1)—Use this setting to delete DLCI’s on your T-DAC’s configuration view. To delete a DLCI, sim-
ply set the state to invalid(1) and Submit Query. Note: A deleted DLCI will reappear if your service provider’s Frame Relay switch is still configured to recognize that DLCI. This occurs after a Frame Relay Full
Status Enquiry.
• active(2)—The link is up and passing data. This is the desired condition of the link.
• invalid(3)—The link is down and not passing data. Reasons for this may be your service provider hasn’t
enabled your service or the link is not yet connected to your T-DAC.
DLCI window 99
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 8 • Frame Relay
• needIPaddr(4)—This is when the IP address needs to be entered for this DLCI.
• wait4peer(5)—In this state, the Link is waiting for the far end to synchronize.
Committed Burst (bits) (frCircuitCommitedBurst)
This specifies the committed data rate for the link in bits-per-second.
Excess Burst (bits) (frCircuitExcessBurst)
This specifies the excess data rate for the link in bits-per-second.
Throughput (bits) (frCircuitThroughput)
This specifies the throughput for the link in bits-per-second.
IP Address (FrameIPAddr)
As all of the interfaces on the T-DAC run in un-numbered mode, the IP address to enter is that of the far end
router. This is not the IP address of the T-DAC. After the IP address is entered, it will appear as a point-topoint link in the IP routing table with this address.
Congestion (frameEnableCongestion)
This option enables or disables congestion tracking.
• enable(0)—Enables congestion tracking
• disable(1)—Disables congestion tracking
