RIC-155Installation and Operation Manual

Chapter 1 Introduction

 

 

Management

Setup, control and monitoring of status and diagnostics information can be performed using one of the following methods:

ASCII terminal connected to the V.24/RS-232 DTE control port

Telnet host via dedicated Ethernet management port

PC running a Web browsing application (ConfiguRAD)

Network management station running RADview, RAD’s SNMP network management application.

ConfiguRAD is user-friendly Web-based terminal management system serving for remote device configuration and maintenance. It is embedded in RIC-155 and provided at no extra cost. ConfiguRAD can be run from any standard Web browser.

Internal Bridge

The RIC-155 internal bridge uses four ports for connection to the Ethernet management port, Ethernet data port, STM-1/OC-3c interface and the host. The bridge provides separation of the management traffic from the user traffic by assigning different VLANs to the different ports.

The bridge operates in the following modes:

Filter – frames are received with VLAN tag or untagged, the bridge learns the source address of the incoming frames, performs the bridging according to the MAC address only.

Filter Tagging – the bridge separates management traffic from the user traffic by the tags assigned to the frames. The bridge operation complies with the relevant parts of IEEE 802.1Q.

Alarm Relay

Real time alarms provide information on the system status, indicating management failure, status of the STM-1/OC-3c and Ethernet links, and other faulty conditions. Major and minor alarms can be reported to a remote alarm device via dedicated DB-9 rear panel connector.

Alarms severity can be configured by the user. In addition, the RIC-155 alarms can be masked to prevent them from being reported.

Status Reporting

RIC-155 includes LED indicators that display the status of power, fiber optic signal, and Ethernet traffic.

RIC-155 supports Ethernet and STM-1/OC-3c statistics collection for up 96 15-minute intervals.
