Black Box 5000 manual Enter NODE-ID # ###

Multiserver 5000

FEEDER MUX NODE IDS

You should renumber and rename a feeder mux after configuring its link. Mux and X.21 links have default numbers and names according to the port they are assigned (see Section 3.5).

If there is a problem ascertaining the mux node ID, you may display the node status. This will show the node names for local feeder muxes. See Section 8.8, Review Link Configuration.

Local feeder muxes are those connected to the local Multiserver. Remote feeder muxes are those connected to remote Multiservers. To configure either local or remote feeder muxes, access the Command Facility of the Multiserver to which the feeder mux is attached. (For remote feeder muxes, first select option 4 of the Command Facility, Configure/View Remote Node.) Then follow these procedures:

COMMAND FACILITY MAIN MENU [node id]

3 CONFIGURE LOCAL NODES

CONFIGURE LOCAL NODES [node id]

13 NODE IDS

NODE ID CONFIGURATION

2 MUX/X.21 LINK NODE(S)

ENTER LINK CHANNEL NO:

Enter the port number of the link (node) to be configured. The following prompt will be displayed on the screen:

ENTER NODE-ID # [###]:

Enter the node number. Press <cr> (refer to Section 3.4, Syntax for Node Numbers and IDs, to review syntax requirements). The following prompt will appear on the screen:

ENTER NODE-ID (^X TO ABORT) [node id]:

Enter the node ID. Press <cr>. Remember that the node ID (node name) must be unique. Do not enter the name of the local Multiserver; feeder muxes have their own node IDs.

**SELECT "Y" TO RESET SYSTEM WHEN NODE CHANGES MADE **

ENTER "Y" TO RESET "C" TO CONTINUE: Y

The following message and prompt will appear:

The unit will reset, and you will be returned to the Command Facility.

The local Multiserver can configure the data and voice/fax ports of the feeder mux(es). This includes feeder muxes attached to the local and to the remote Multiserver. Access the Command Facility of the Multiserver to which the feeder mux is attached. Select the parameter for configuration and proceed with configuration of the port as if it were a Multiserver.
