Figure 5. Rack chassis slot layout (rear view)
Installing the Model 1001MC into the rack chassis
The Model 1001MC consists of a front rack card and a rear input/output (I/O) card (see figure 2 on page 12).
The two cards meet inside the rack chassis and plug into each other by way of mating 50-pin card edge connectors. Do the following to install the Model 1001MC cards into the rack chassis:
There are no user-serviceable parts in the power supply section. Voltage setting changes and fuse replacement should only be performed by qualified service personnel. Contact Patton Electronics Technical support at
(301) 975-1007 for more information.
Note The Model 1001MC is hot-swappable, which means that you can
install it into the rack chassis without having to turn off power to the
rack chassis. For the purpose of this procedure, though it is assumed
that power to the rack is OFF at the beginning.
1. Slide the rear I/O card into rear chassis slot 14 (see figure 5) along the metal guide rails.
Note The Model 1001MC installs into rack chassis slot 14 because that
slot provides information about the power supplies to the 1001MC.
If the card is not installed in slot 14, the 1001MC will report power
supply failure.
2. Secure the rear card using the captive fasteners.

3. Slide the front rack card into the front chassis slot 14 (see figure 6) until it meets the rear card receptacle.
When that happens, push the front card gently but firmly into the card-edge receptacle of the rear card, it
should click into place.
Figure 6. Rack chassis slot layout (front view)
4. Secure the front rack card using the captive fasteners.
Installing NetLink modem cards
This section contains hardware installation information that affects the following NetLink modems:
• Model 1092ARC (see section “Hardware setup for a Model 1092ARC”)
• Model 1094ARC (see section “Hardware setup for a Model 1094ARC” on page 22)
• Model 1095RC (see section “Hardware setup for a Model 1095RC” on page 24)
• Model 2701RC (see section “Hardware setup for a Model 2701RC” on page 26)
• Model 2707RC (see section “Hardware setup for a Model 2707RC” on page 28)
• Model 2710RC (see section “Hardware setup for a Model 2710RC” on page 29)
• Model 2715RC (see section “Hardware setup for a Model 2715RC” on page 29)
• Model 2088RC (see section “Hardware setup for a Model 3088RC” on page 29)
Hardware setup for a Model 1092ARC
The following must be done to configure your Model 1092ARC hardware for use with the Model 1001MC
network management station:
• Connect frame ground to signal ground (see section “Configuring frame ground”)
• Set the system address (see section “Setting the 1092ARC system address” on page 20)
When you are finished, install the Model 1092ARC front card and rear I/O card using the installation procedures in the manual that came with the modem.
Configuring frame ground
The Model 1001MC uses an internal bus to communicate with the NetLink modems installed in your system.
The Model 1092ARC rear I/O card must have frame ground (GND) connected to signal GND through a
Installing NetLink modem cards 19
Model 1001MC Operations Guide 2 • Hardware installation
100-ohm resistor. This is done by configuring a jumper on the modem’s rear I/O card. Refer to the installation
manual that came with the rack card for more information on this jumper setting.
Setting the 1092ARC system address
The manual that was shipped with the 1092ARC defines switch S2 as Address. This switch sets the address of
the modem in the NetLink system. Each card in the chassis is given a unique address through the setting of
switch S2.
Note Standalone units use the address of the rack card that they are con-
nected to.
Polling overview. The Model 1001MC sends poll messages along the internal bus looking for cards installed in
the system. Once a card is found it is placed online and communication with the management station can begin.
If the address of the NetLink modem is not configured or does not match the address range of the rack that it
is installed in, the Model 1001MC may not recognize the card. The address range that is polled is determined
by the configuration of the system. The system administrator must make sure that the software configuration
within the Model 1001MC matches the hardware configuration of the system.
Polling rack #1 and daisy-chained racks. The Model 1001MC uses the number of power supplies in the system to determine what the address range of the individual racks will be. The number of power supplies
installed in each rack is entered on the Modem Information page. If the system is set for two power supplies
installed, the 1001MC will automatically set the number of slots available (displayed on the Modem Information page) in the chassis to 13. If the system is set for a single power supply installed, the 1001MC will automatically set the number of slots available in the chassis to 15.
Using this information, the Model 1001MC will poll the specified address range in each rack. Thus, in a single
power supply system, the address range for rack #1 (the rack with the 1001MC installed) will be from address
1 to address 15
Note The 1001MC is always address 0.
The 1001MC will then begin polling rack #2 on the daisy chain port starting from address 16. In a redundant
power supply system, the address range for rack #1 (the rack with the 1001MC installed) will be from
address 1 to address 13. The 1001MC will then begin polling rack #2 on the daisy chain port starting from
address 14.
The daisy chained racks are set up in the same manner with 13 addresses being available in a redundant system
and 15 addresses being available in single supply system. When you disable a rack the addresses are still set
aside for that rack space. If a power supply is removed, the addressing will not change unless you make the
change through the 1001MC web pages. This allows easy service of the power supplies.
If the address is 0 (all ON position), then the unit will run completely from its DIP-switch configuration. This
can be useful for testing circuits independently of the management system. If an address is placed on the
switch, the unit will boot from its stored flash configuration and begin looking for poll commands from the
Model 1001MC.
Switch S2 allows an 8 bit address to be assigned to a link. The following rules apply to setting the address. Bit
S2-8 is the least significant bit. A bit set to ON is considered a 0. A bit set to OFF is considered a 1. Patton
Electronics suggests that you set your addresses starting with address 1 at the far left of your rack (farthest away

Hardware setup for a Model 1094ARC
The following must be done to configure your Model 1094ARC hardware for use with the Model 1001MC
network management station:
• Connect frame ground to signal ground (see section “Configuring frame ground”)
• Set the system address (see section “Setting the 1094ARC system address”)
When you are finished, install the Model 1094ARC front card and rear I/O card using the installation procedures in the manual that came with the modem.
Configuring frame ground
The Model 1001MC uses an internal bus to communicate with the NetLink modems installed in your system.
The Model 1094ARC rear I/O card must have frame ground (GND) connected to signal GND through a
100-ohm resistor. This is done by configuring a jumper on the modem’s rear I/O card. Refer to the installation
manual that came with the rack card for more information on this jumper setting.
Setting the 1094ARC system address
The manual that was shipped with the 1094RC defines switch S1 as Address. This switch sets the address of
the modem in the NetLink system. Each card in the chassis is given a unique address through the setting of
switch S1.
Note Standalone units use the address of the rack card that they are con-
nected to.
Polling overview. The Model 1001MC sends poll messages along the internal bus looking for cards installed
in the system. Once a card is found it is placed online and communication with the management station
can begin.
If the address of the NetLink modem is not configured or does not match the address range of the rack that it
is installed in, the Model 1001MC may not recognize the card. The address range that is polled is determined
by the configuration of the system. The system administrator must make sure that the software configuration
within the Model 1001MC matches the hardware configuration of the system.
Polling rack #1 and daisy-chained racks. The Model 1001MC uses the number of power supplies in the system to determine what the address range of the individual racks will be. The number of power supplies
installed in each rack is entered on the Modem Information page. If the system is set for two power supplies
installed, the 1001MC will automatically set the number of slots available (displayed on the Modem Information page) in the chassis to 13. If the system is set for a single power supply installed, the 1001MC will automatically set the number of slots available in the chassis to 15.
Using this information, the Model 1001MC will poll the specified address range in each rack. Thus, in a single
power supply system, the address range for rack #1 (the rack with the 1001MC installed) will be from address
1 to address 15
Note The 1001MC is always address 0.
The 1001MC will then begin polling rack #2 on the daisy chain port starting from address 16. In a redundant
power supply system, the address range for rack #1 (the rack with the 1001MC installed) will be from
Installing NetLink modem cards 22
Model 1001MC Operations Guide 2 • Hardware installation
address 1 to address 13. The 1001MC will then begin polling rack #2 on the daisy chain port starting from
address 14.
The daisy chained racks are set up in the same manner with 13 addresses being available in a redundant system
and 15 addresses being available in single supply system. When you disable a rack the addresses are still set
aside for that rack space. If a power supply is removed, the addressing will not change unless you make the
change through the 1001MC web pages. This allows easy service of the power supplies.
If the address is 0 (all ON position), then the unit will run completely from its DIP-switch configuration. This
can be useful for testing circuits independently of the management system. If an address is placed on the
switch, the unit will boot from its stored flash configuration and begin looking for poll commands from the
Model 1001MC.
Switch S1 allows an 8 bit address to be assigned to a link. The following rules apply to setting the address. Bit
S1-8 is the least significant bit. A bit set to ON is considered a 0. A bit set to OFF is considered a 1. Patton
Electronics suggests that you set your addresses starting with address 1 at the far left of your rack (farthest away
from the power supplies) and increment the numbers by one as you go from left to right. Setting the addresses
in this manner will make configuration easier as you start using the web page management. An example of this
is shown below.

Model 1001MC Operations Guide 3 • Getting started
Introduction
To complete this section you will need the following:
• a VT-100 terminal or terminal emulator
• a null-modem cable
• an IP address for your box
• a subnet mask for your box
• the IP address of the default gateway for your LAN
Booting the Model 1001MC
Note If you are starting the Model 1001MC for the first time, you must log
in via the rear panel RS-232 configuration port and set the IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
Note The configuration port on your 1001MC is a DTE, which requires a
null modem or equivalent cable when connecting to a terminal.
1. Using personal computer communications software (Procomm, Windows Terminal, BitCom, PC Any-
where, etc.), set the configuration of your communications software to the following parameters:
– Data rate: 19,200 bps
– Async. character format: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity
– Terminal emulation: VT-100 (or similar) terminal emulation
2. Connect the RS-232/V.24 port of the terminal to the rear panel RS-232 configuration port of the
1001MC through a null-modem. The RS-232 port is configured as data terminal equipment (DTE).
3. Apply power to the rack system. The Model 1001MC will begin a series of diagnostic tests to exercise the
internal sub-systems in the unit. You must halt the power up sequence in order to enter a new IP address,
mask, and default gateway into the box. Press the b key three times when you see the following:

Model 1001MC Operations Guide 3 • Getting started
Note To RESET to factory configuration the user must type e three times
anytime during the boot sequence upon power-up. The console will
display the following messages:
Are you sure you want to erase current configuration (y/n)?y
If y is entered, the current configuration will be erased and the factory
default configuration will be restored.
Are you sure you want to erase current configuration (y/n)?n
If n is entered, the boot sequence will continue without any changes
to configuration.
7. Turn power off and on again reboot the system with the new settings. After your system reboots, log into
the box using a standard web browser from your network.
8. Disconnect the cable from the rear panel RS-232 configuration port of the 1001MC.
9. If you are installing a daisy-chain cable to the RS-232 configuration port of the 1001MC, go to section
“Installing the Model 1001MC RS-232 daisy-chain port cable”. Otherwise, go to section “Setting the
address range for your NetLink modems”.
Installing the Model 1001MC RS-232 daisy-chain port cable
Using the Model 1001MC RS-232 Daisy Chain Port and an EIA-510 cable, your Model 1001MC can manage up to seven additional racks. Each daisy chained rack must have a Model 1001CC Controller Card
installed. The Model 1001MC—in combination with the Model 1001CC—can control up to 120 NetLink
rack card modems and their remote CPE devices. This section describes how to connect your Model 1001MC
to additional racks.
Note If you plan to build your own RS-232-to-EIA-561 converter to con-
nect the Model 1001MC to the Model 1001CC, refer to the Model
1001CC manual for EIA-561 interface pinouts.
Installing the Model 1001MC RS-232 daisy-chain port cable 39
Model 1001MC Operations Guide 3 • Getting started
Figure 15. Configuring a daisy-chain network
Setting the address range for your NetLink modems
The Model 1001MC polls the system looking for NetLink modems. If the address of the NetLink modem is
not configured or does not match the rack that it is installed in, the Model 1001MC may not find the card.
The address range that is polled is determined by the configuration of the system. The system administrator
must make sure that the software configuration within the Model 1001MC matches the hardware configuration of the system.
The Model 1001MC uses the number of power supplies in the system to determine what the address range of
the individual racks will be. The number of power supplies installed in each rack is entered on the Modem
Information page. If the system is set for two power supplies installed, the 1001MC will automatically set the
number of slots available (displayed on the Modem Information page) in the chassis to 13. If the system is set
for a single power supply installed, the 1001MC will automatically set the number of slots available in the
chassis to 15.
Using this information, the Model 1001MC will poll the specified address range in each rack. Thus, in a single
power supply system, the address range for rack #1 (the rack with the 1001MC installed) will be from address
1 to address 15
Note The 1001MC is always address 0.
Installing the Model 1001MC RS-232 daisy-chain port cable 40
Model 1001MC Operations Guide 3 • Getting started
The 1001MC will then begin polling rack #2 on the daisy chain port starting from address 16. in a redundant
power supply system, the address range for rack #1 (the rack with the 1001MC installed) will be from address
1 to address 13. The 1001MC will then begin polling rack #2 on the daisy chain port starting from address 14.
The daisy-chained racks are setup in the same manner with 13 addresses being available in a redundant system
and 15 addresses being available in single supply system. When you disable a rack the addresses are still set
aside for that rack space. If a power supply is removed, the addressing will not change unless you make the
change through the 1001MC web pages. This allows easy service of the power supplies.
Introduction to the internal HTTP/HTML management pages
This section explains how to configure the internal HTTP/HTML management pages to manage your Patton
NetLink System. The system can also be managed by using an SNMP Network Management Station using a
standard SNMP software package or MIB walking tool.
Logging into the HTTP/HTML administration pages
To log into the HTTP/HTML administration pages, you must enter the 4-octet Internet protocol (IP)
address—in the format http://your.server.ip.address (for example, http://201.168.15.12)—as the universal
resource locator (URL) into a World-Wide Web (WWW) browser. After you enter the IP address, the
1001MC will prompt for your user name and password as shown in figure 16.
Figure 16. 1001MC login window
The Model 1001MC has two levels of password protection:
• superuser—The superuser password level lets you view statistics and make configuration changes to the sys-
tem. To log in as a superuser, type the word superuser, all lower case, as the username and password
• monitor—The monitor level password enables you to view statistics, but it will not let you make any config-
uration changes. To log into the system at the monitor level, type monitor, all lower case, for the username
and password.
Note The superuser and monitor passwords are set in the unit as the
default passwords. For proper security, make sure that during your
initial setup, you change the passwords (see section “System Informa-
tion” on page 246 for information on how to change passwords).
Introduction to the internal HTTP/HTML management pages 41
Model 1001MC Operations Guide 3 • Getting started
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 17.
Figure 17. HTTP/HTML and SNMP object format
Saving HTTP/HTML object changes
Sometimes you will need to save changes that you have made in the HTTP/HTML pages. Do the following to
make changes to read/write variables:
1. Select the appropriate Modify screen.
2. Make changes to the desired parameter.
3. Click on the Submit button.
4. Return to the HOME screen.
5. Click on the Record Current Configuration button.
Note Make sure you follow steps 1 through 5 when modifying the
HTTP/HTML pages. Otherwise, your changes will be lost when the
1001MC is power-cycled.
Help screens
The Model 1001MC web pages have built-in help screens that enable you to get information about the variables that are being described. Each web page contains several headings that describe the section that is being
defined. Some of the headings are hyperlinks to the help screen for that page. The new window will automatically scroll to the help area that was requested. You may also scroll through this page to view help information
about other sections of the page. In some cases, the headings for the tables will be shown as hyperlinks, these
hyperlinks, work the same as was previously discussed, showing the help screen for that column of the table.
HTTP/HTML web page navigation
This section describes how to navigate the internal HTTP/HTML web pages on the Model 1001MC. The
diagram below shows how all of the web pages are linked together. Following figure 18, there is a brief descrip-
tion of each page. For more detailed information about each web page, refer to chapter 10, “HTTP/HTML

Model 1092 Configuration Slot page MIB variables description
This section describes the MIB variables that are available on the Model 1092 Configuration Slot page.
Model 1092A Model 1092 Configuration Slot (nmsSlotID)
Displays the address of the NetLink iDSL modem. The address is defined by the DIP-switch setting of S1 on
the rack card. The remote standalone unit has no address specified, but uses that address of the rack card that it
is connected to.
Line Status (lineStatusiDSL)
Displays the status of the line. There are three possible values that can be displayed:
• startup(1)
• dataMode(2)
• testMode(3)
When the line status is dataMode(2), the units are linked-up and ready to send data.
Processor Mode (processorModeiDSL)
Displays the status of the processor running on the NetLink-iDSL. There are four values that are significant to you:
• normal(0)—When the processor is in normal(0) mode, the NetLink iDSL modem is monitoring itself and
sending the status information to the Model 1001MC
• internalProcessing(1)—When the processor is in the internalProcessing(1) mode, it is either busy down-
loading code to the internal DSP or setting the data pump.
• negotiating(2)—When the processor is in the negotiating(2) mode, the card was just brought online and
the NetLink-iDSL is setting up the configuration parameters within the Model 1001MC
• lineDown(3)
At startup, all of the fields will be highlighted in yellow, signifying that they are not verified parameters. As the
NetLink-iDSL sets up the parameters, the highlighting disappears, signifying that the display matches the setting of the card.
Input Mode (mode1092A)
The following settings are available:
• onLine(0)
• superVisoryMode1)
To make configuration changes to the NetLink-iDSL modems, you must first set this bit to
superVisoryMode1). When the Input Mode is set to superVisoryMode1), the Modify Configuration hyperlink
will appear on the web page next to the
hyperlink. The
Model 1092A Configuration—Next Configuration page will appear (see section “Model 1092

configuration space. If this is not done, the NetLink-iDSL will not recognize the configuration changes that
were made.
Model 1092 Configuration Slot page Configuration Status table description
The Configuration Status table shows the configuration for the set of units. There are columns for the local and
remote units. If a field is highlighted in yellow, it signifies one of two possible conditions:
• At start up, the Model 1001MC will display a default configuration for the card and all fields will be high-
lighted in yellow, notifying you that the information has not been verified. During the negotiation phase,
the NetLink-iDSL modem will update the configuration in the Model 1001MC with its last set of stored
parameters. As these fields are updated in the Model 1001MC, the yellow highlighting will disappear, signifying that the information has been updated. After the local and remote units are linked, the units will
begin updating the remote information in the table, and Line Status set to datamode(2).
• If a rack card is installed in the rack without a customer premise unit connected, the remote information
will be left as either none or highlighted in yellow, notifying you that the information has not been verified.
The following sections define the MIB variables that are shown in the Configuration Status table.
Model Code (localModelCode/remoteModelCode)
These variables display the local and remote models codes for the units that were found in the specified address.
DTE rate (dteRateiDSL)
This variable displays the DTE rate for the link. Because the NetLink-iDSL modems are symmetrical (same
rate in both direction), there is only one MIB variable that defines the DTE rate.
Clock Mode (Local-Remote)
This variable defines the clock mode for the NetLink modems. The display shows the Local clock mode (rack
card) and then the remote clock mode.
TM From DTE (dteTMiDSL/remotedteTMiDSL)
These MIB variables define whether you would like the modems to accept test mode requests from the DTE
that is connected. In normal applications this should be set to disable(1). When the application is using rear
cards or interface modules that do not have loop back ability from the DTE, such as the IM2RC/IA Ethernet
rear card, this variable must be set to disable(1). In most situations, if a DTE test mode is required, it should be
enable only during the time that the test is needed.
HW Test Mode (testModeIndiDSL/remotetestModeIndiDSL)
These read-only variables notify you that the specified unit has been placed into a test mode through the hardware. This could have been done either through the front panel switches or from the DTE (if the TM from DTE
is enabled). When a test mode is displayed, the field will be highlighted in blue to give you quick notification.
SW Test Mode (testModeSetiDSL/remotetestModeSetiDSL)
These variables notify you that the specified unit has been placed into a test mode through the management
station. The management can place a unit into a test mode within the Model 1092A Update Configuration
page explained in more detail below.

These read-only MIB variable displays the current version of code that is running in the NetLink-iDSL Customer Premise modem. You can update the software in the NetLink stand alone unit through the front panel
control port on the unit. For more information regarding software downloads for standalone units, visit the
Patton Electronics web site at www.patton.com.
Next Configuration table
This table shows the configurable MIB variables for the set of units. There are column for the local and remote
units. In some cases a single variable applies to both the local and remote unit. In this case, a single configuration field is made available in the Local column and the Remote column is made a read-only field. After
changes are made, select the
Submit Query button at the bottom of the table and then place the Input Mode
back to onLine(0) in the Model 1092 Configuration page.
The following sections explain the MIB variables that are shown in the Next Configuration table.
DTE rate (dteRateiDSL)
This variable displays the DTE rate for the link. Because the NetLink-iDSL modems are symmetrical (same
rate in both direction), there is only MIB variable that defines the DTE rate. The Customer Premise box will
automatically update its' configuration to the DTE rate that is set here.
Clock Mode (Local-Remote)
This variable defines the clock mode for the NetLink modems. The display shows the Local clock mode (rack
card) and then the remote clock mode as a single variable in the Local column. The Remote column displays a
read only field showing the remote units clocking mode. This was done to avoid an illegal configuration of the
NetLink-iDSL modems. For instance, both units CAN NOT be set to internal clock. The options list all possible clocking combinations.
TM From DTE (dteTMiDSL/remotedteTMiDSL)
These MIB variables define whether you would like the modems to accept test mode requests from the DTE
that is connected. In normal applications this should be set to disable(1). When the application is using rear
cards or interface modules that do not have loop back ability from the DTE, such as the IM2RC/IA Ethernet
rear card, this variable must be set to disable(1). In most situations, if a DTE test mode is required, it should be

Model 1001MC Operations Guide 5 • Model 1094ARC management
Introduction
This chapter describes managing a Model 1094ARC NetLink HDSL modem using the Model 1001MC
NetLink-NMS internal HTTP/HTML web engine and a standard web browser. This chapter is meant to be
used in addition to the manual that came with your unit.
NetLink-NMS description
Specifically designed for use in the Patton NetLink system, when the NetLink HDSL is coupled with the Model
1001MC NetLink-NMS and the Patton Model 1001 rack system, the modem is fully SNMP manageable.
SNMP management can be performed on both the local and remote units using a standard SNMP network management station (NMS) or by using a standard web browser and the Model 1001MC's built-in web server. You
can view and change configuration variables, view statistical variables, and view error and warning indications.
Configuration and management
This section describes the configuration and management of your NetLink HDSL modems using a Model
1001MC NetLink-NMS with built in HTTP/HTML web server. If you plan to manage your units using a
standard network management station you can download the Patton Enterprise MIBs either through the
SNMP web page on the Model 1001MC or obtain them from the Patton web site at www.patton.com.
The following pages are used to configure and manage the Model 1094ARC:
• Modem Information page: This page displays a list of the cards that are installed in your system and a quick
view of any errors or warnings associated with your modems (see section “Displaying the Modem Informa-

the NetLink-HDSL modem will update the configuration in the Model 1001MC with its last set of stored
parameters. As these fields are updated in the Model 1001MC, the yellow highlighting will disappear, signifying that the information has been updated. After the local and remote units are linked, the units will
begin updating the remote information in the table, and Line Status set to datamode(2).
• If a rack card is installed in the rack without a customer premise unit connected, the remote information
will be left as either none or highlighted in yellow, notifying you that the information has not been verified.
The following sections define the MIB variables that are shown in the Configuration Status table.
Model Code (localModelCode/remoteModelCode)
These variables display the local and remote models codes for the units that were found in the specified address.
DTE rate (dteRate1094)
This variable displays the DTE rate for the link. Because the NetLink-HDSL modems are symmetrical (same
rate in both direction), there is only one MIB variable that defines the DTE rate.
Clock Mode (Local-Remote)
This variable defines the clock mode for the NetLink modems. The display shows the Local clock mode (rack
card) and then the remote clock mode.
TM From DTE (dteTM1094/remotedteTM1094)
These MIB variables define whether you would like the modems to accept test mode requests from the DTE
that is connected. In normal applications this should be set to disable(1). When the application is using rear
cards or interface modules that do not have loop back ability from the DTE, such as the IM2RC/IA Ethernet
rear card, this variable must be set to disable(1). In most situations, if a DTE test mode is required, it should be
enable only during the time that the test is needed.
HW Test Mode (testModeInd1094/remotetestModeInd1094)
These read-only variables notify you that the specified unit has been placed into a test mode through the hardware. This could have been done either through the front panel switches or from the DTE (if the TM from DTE
is enabled). When a test mode is displayed, the field will be highlighted in blue to give you quick notification.
SW Test Mode (testModeSet1094/remotetestModeSet1094)
These variables notify you that the specified unit has been placed into a test mode through the management
station. The management can place a unit into a test mode within the Model 1094A Update Configuration
page explained in more detail below.
Software Rev (softVersion1094/remotesoftversion1094)

changes are made, select the
Submit Query button at the bottom of the table and then place the Input Mode
back to onLine(0) in the Model 1094 Configuration page.
The following sections explain the MIB variables that are shown in the Next Configuration table.
DTE rate (dteRate1094)
This variable displays the DTE rate for the link. Because the NetLink-HDSL modems are symmetrical (same
rate in both direction), there is only MIB variable that defines the DTE rate. The Customer Premise box will
automatically update its' configuration to the DTE rate that is set here.
Clock Mode (Local-Remote)
This variable defines the clock mode for the NetLink modems. The display shows the Local clock mode (rack
card) and then the remote clock mode as a single variable in the Local column. The Remote column displays a
read only field showing the remote units clocking mode. This was done to avoid an illegal configuration of the
NetLink-HDSL modems. For instance, both units CAN NOT be set to internal clock. The options list all possible clocking combinations.
Tx Data Sample Point (txdEdge1095/remotetxdEdge1095)
This variable defines the sampling point that is used by the NetLink-mDSL modems to read data from the
DTE. In most situations it should always be set to normal(0). In high speed applications, there are situations
that would require an inverted(1) sampling point.
TM From DTE (dteTM1094/remotedteTM1094)
These MIB variables define whether you would like the modems to accept test mode requests from the DTE
that is connected. In normal applications this should be set to disable(1). When the application is using rear
cards or interface modules that do not have loop back ability from the DTE, such as the IM2RC/IA Ethernet
rear card, this variable must be set to disable(1). In most situations, if a DTE test mode is required, it should be
enable only during the time that the test is needed.
Test Mode (testModeSet1094/remotetestModeSet1094)

Introduction
This chapter describes managing a Model 1095RC NetLink mDSL modem using the Model 1001MC
NetLink-NMS internal HTTP/HTML web engine and a standard web browser. This chapter is meant to be
used in addition to the manual that came with your unit.
NetLink-NMS description
Specifically designed for use in the Patton NetLink system, when the NetLink mDSL is coupled with the Model
1001MC NetLink-NMS and the Patton Model 1001 rack system, the modem is fully SNMP manageable.
SNMP management can be performed on both the local and remote units using a standard SNMP network management station (NMS) or by using a standard web browser and the Model 1001MC's built-in web server. You
can view and change configuration variables, view statistical variables, and view error and warning indications.
Configuration and management
This section describes the configuration and management of your NetLink mDSL modems using a Model
1001MC NetLink-NMS with built in HTTP/HTML web server. If you plan to manage your units using a
standard network management station you can download the Patton Enterprise MIBs either through the
SNMP web page on the Model 1001MC or obtain them from the Patton web site at www.patton.com.
The following pages are used to configure and manage the Model 1095RC:
• Global Configuration Menu page: Model 1095RC rack cards can be configured globally by templates you
create. If you use this capability, you have the option to globally configure some or all Model 1095RC
modems in multiple racks, or those in just one rack (see section “Displaying the Global Configuration
Menu page” on page 93).
• Modem Information page: This page displays a list of the cards that are installed in your system and a quick
view of any errors or warnings associated with your modems (see section “Displaying the Modem Informa-
tion page” on page 94).
• Model 1095 Configuration Slot page: This page (along with the Model 1095 Configuration—Next Config-
uration page) enables you to make configuration changes to the Model 1095RC and the remote CPE box
(see section “Displaying the Model 1095 Configuration Slot page” on page 95).
• Model 1095 Configuration—Next Configuration page: This page (along with the Model 1095 Configura-
tion Slot page) enables you to update configuration of modems installed in the system (see “Displaying the
Model 1095 Configuration—Next Configuration page” on page 97).
• Slot Configuration page: This page can be used to set slot-specific information related to the system and how
the system treats the slot in the case of errors or warnings (see section “Displaying the Model 1095 Configu-
ration Slot page” on page 95).
• Download page: This page is where you can download the latest version of 1001MC and 1095RC software
(see section “Displaying the Download page” on page 100).
