DEFINITY LAN Gateway Multi- Function Board (MFB) and Multi-Application for DEFINITY Board (MAPD)

DEFINITY LAN Gateway Multi- Function Board (MFB) and Multi-Application for DEFINITY Board (MAPD)

The DEFINITY LAN Gateway system is composed of a system assembly and a software application. The system assembly is a DEFINITY Multi-Function Board (MFB) (TN2208) and an Alarm Board (TN2170) inserted into a DEFINITY carrier. The DEFINITY LAN Gateway system can also run using a Multi-Application for DEFINITY (MAPD) board. The software application serves as an ISDN brouter (a combination of bridge and router) of ASAI messages through a TCP "tunnel" via 10BASE-T Ethernet.

The DEFINITY LAN Gateway application may be administered using a terminal or terminal emulator with the RS-232 console (serial) port, or using a terminal emulator that supports TCP connectivity using the LAN port. Initial administration, or administration to configure or diagnose LAN access on the MFB (or MAPD), should be performed using a serial port. Ongoing administration may be performed using either the serial or LAN port.

Administration is supported using a full-screen menu-based application provided on the MFB (or MAPD) and accessed via login and password. Administration screen categories are as follows:

Login/Password Administration — Allows administrators to add and delete user logins. Also allows users to change their passwords.

TCP/IP Administration — Provides access to all administrable network data: network name and IP address of the DEFINITY LAN Gateway Multi-Function Board (or MAPD) the user is accessing, all locally known hosts, and all network routing information.

Brouter Administration — Provides access to a screen for viewing, adding, and deleting brouter clients (see Chapter 7, "DEFINITY LAN Gateway Protocol" in the DEFINITY Communications System CallVisor Protocol Reference 555-230-221).

Maintenance — Provides access to backup and restore functions, loading of a new system from tape, and the ability to view error and security logs.

Port Status/Control — Provides access to port status and control data. Port status can be viewed and client connections can be terminated.
