6)REMOTE T-WATCH, Submenu of 3)UTIL

To communicate with a far-end unit via the FDL (i.e., from a proxy such as T-Watch), identify the remote unit as a standalone or rackmount. Use this option to select the remote unit type, ID, and slot number. The ID and slot number are only applicable if the selected remote unit is rackmount, so these may be left blank if the remote unit is standalone.

1)ACCESS TYPE (REMOTE UNIT) 1)STANDALONE - The far-end unit is standalone. 2)RACKMOUNT - The far-end is a rackmount.

2)SHELF SNMP ID

Enter the SNMP ID of the far-end rackmount unit (0-255).

3)SHELF SLOT

Enter the slot number of the far-end rackmount unit (1-16).

This type of communication may not be available with all T1 products.

4)TEST

Use the Test menu to initiate different types of tests of the unit and view test results. The menu contains four sub-items. See Figure 3-19.

The execution of tests disrupts some of the normal operation. See individual menu items concerning tests before executing.
