Network Tools
Important Notice
The HSIM-W87 statistics that are accessed using the Switch and Interface Statistics screens are not explained in this manual. Refer to the applicable host platform manual for details. “T3 Interface” and “T1 Interface” will be displayed as the name of the HSIM-W87 interface in the statistics screens.
4.2NETWORK TOOLS
The Network Tools utility allows management of objects in the HSIM-W87 Management Information Bases (MIBs). MIBs are databases of objects used for managing the device and configuring the HSIM-W87. The commands within the MIB Navigator allow the user to view and modify a device’s objects.
The host platform contains either the Network Tools utility, or the MIB Navigator utility. They are essentially the same tool, with some minor differences depending on the platform. They will both be referred to as Network Tools in this document, and there is no difference in their use for the purpose of this document. Using Network Tools may be a more convenient method for a user to configure the HSIM-W87 than using the MIBs in some circumstances. Full functionality is still available by using the MIBs. The host platform has a set of functions for Network Tools that are used on that platform. The following additions to the Network Tools utility from the WAN perspective are specific to the HSIM-W87, and can only be used when a HSIM-W87 is installed in the platform.
•imux – support for configuration and monitoring of the Inverse Multiplexer (ctwan-multi-imux-mib.txt, Revision 1.00.00)
•ds1alarm – support for ds1 alarm monitoring (ctremote-mib.txt, Revision 1.00.02, Ds1Alarms branch)
•wanpq – support for Wan IP Priority Queuing (ctremote-mib.txt, Revision 1.00.02, ctIPPQFilters branch)
•dsx1 – support for RFC 1406 statistics and configuration
•dsx3 – support for RFC 1407 statistics and configuration
Only the above commands, that are particular to the HSIM-W87, will be described in the following sections. The host platform’s manual describes the other commands that are not particular to the HSIM-W87. Refer to the host platform manual for information on the other commands.
