Management from a

Terminal

The configuration of ASM-60 is performed via menu-driven embedded software using a standard ASCII terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation application connected to the front panel CONTROL DCE port. This terminal can be used for performing the following management activities supported by ASM-60:

Modifying setup configuration

Monitoring of device status and settings

Collect performance statistics

Restarting ASM-60.

4.1 Preparing for the Control Session

This section describes how to prepare ASM-60 and supervisory terminal for the control session.

Control Port Interface Characteristics

ASM-60 includes a V.24/RS-232 asynchronous DCE port, designated CONTROL DCE and terminated in a 9-pin D-type female connector. The control port continuously monitors the incoming data stream and will immediately respond to any input string received through this port.

The terminal can be connected either directly to the ASM-60 control port, or through a modem or any other type of full-duplex data link. The ASM-60 control port interface type must be set in accordance with the connection method, as follows:

Preparing Terminal

Any standard ASCII terminal (a “dumb” terminal or a personal computer running terminal emulation application) equipped with a V.24/RS-232 communication interface can be used to configure ASM-60.

Control Port Handshaking Protocol

The control lines used in each DCE and DTE mode and the direction of the control signals are detailed in the following table.
