Remote login

Commands cannot be sent to a network element or network processor until an account is activated on that node. The network processor is considered to be a remote login.

Because network elements are normally in different geographic locations, remote maintenance and fault identification is not possible without remote login.

When addressing a command to a local or remote network element or network processor, the SID to which the command is addressed is called the target identifier (TID).

Multiple login sessions

Several user accounts can be active at the same time. When several sessions are active, commands can be sent to any network element on which the sessions are active.

Alarms, events and performance monitoring reports are displayed for all network elements or logged in network processors.

The network element and network processor allow multiple concurrent login sessions through local or remote connections.

A local connection includes:

•connecting to an RS-232 port

•connecting to an NPx over X.25

•connecting to an NPx over TCP/IP

•setting up an rlogin session from an OC-12 TBM, OC-48, OC-192, Connect DX or OPC, to a shelf processor or network processor.

A remote connection is a login session from a local connection to any other available network element or network processor.
