Chapter 1. Introduction

Three Methods of Control

Front Panel

The front panel provides complete and easy control of all items that can be configured through menu guided options. The front panel LCD also displays the status of operation and performance reports for the unit. A complete discussion of the operation of the front panel and all the menu options is found in Chapter 3, Operation.

Adtran PC Program

T-WATCH is the ADTRAN PC control program. It provides complete control over the configuration of the TSU using a graphic interface. The T-WATCH program displays the same status and performance data as the front panel LCD. This data is displayed in the form of tables and graphs.

The T-WATCH program has the following capabilities.

1.Interfaces with a modem which permits dialing into a remote TSU location to configure the unit or read the unit’s status or performance.

2.The performance data read from the units can be exported in a file which is compatible with common spread sheet programs.

SNMP

The ADTRAN TSU will support the Simple Network

Management Protocol (SNMP) through an ADTRAN proxy

agent in mid 1994. The proxy agent runs on a PC and can interface to the TSU directly or via a modem, in the same manner as the T-WATCH PC program.
