Setup of DS0 Management Channel

Setup of DS0 Management Channel

The DS0 Management Channel provides an alternative to the FDL link for management information where FDL is unavailable. The Access Navigator and the remote Axxius 800 will use IP packets to communicate management and control information over the DS0 Management channel. A DS0 Channel will be used in the remote Axxius 800 to send and receive the management IP packets.

The Navigator sends and receives the IP packets over its Ethernet connection while the remote Axxius sends and receives the IP packets over a DS0 channel. A channelized router takes the IP messages from the Ethernet to send them over DS0 channels (WAN) and vice versa. The DS0s coming out of the router are on a single T1. It connects to the Navigator, where the DS0s are cross-connected to the remote Axxius.

The following procedure will walk you through the basic setup of a DS0 Management Channel.
