Chapter 1. Introduction

Flexible Network Management and Maintainability

Several network management methods are available for the ATLAS 550, in- cluding SNMP support. VT-100 and Telnet are also offered, proving detailed system configuration through an easy-to-use menu system. The terminal in- terface is secured by six levels of password protection with varying degrees of management privileges. The terminal interface is accessed locally or re- motely by using either the control port, the CRAFT port, or the Ethernet in- terface. The Ethernet interface on the Base Unit provides a connection at 10 MBS or 100 MBS.

User configurations can be preserved in nonvolatile memory and duplicated for managing multiple ATLAS 550 implementations. ATLAS 550 also sup- ports flash upgrades for future enhancements. You can remotely download software using TFTP or XMODEM.

The ATLAS 550 front panel contains an extensive array of LEDs for alarm and status information pertaining to the system and the individual modules.

Several test capabilities allow you to diagnose the health of your T1, PRI, or BRI circuits without additional test equipment. Tests include local, remote, and V.54 loopbacks using the 511, QRSS, all zeros, and all ones test patterns. Standard Bantam test jacks located on the ATLAS 550 network modules also allow you to use external test equipment to monitor traffic.
