It is assumed that you are already familiar with the screen functions offered with both the full-feature 6800 Series NMS workstation and the basic-feature 6800 Series NMS workstation. If you are not familiar with the screen functions provided by the workstations, refer to Chapter 2, Getting Started, in the COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System User's/System Administrator's Guide for this information.

6800 Series NMS Communications Products

This document describes tests and commands for the following communications products:

NMS-Supported APL Modems

NMS supports the following APL modems:

COMSPHERE 3400/4400 Series Modems

These modems consist of 4.8 kbps point-to-point and multipoint modems, 14.4/9.6 kbps multipoint modems, and 19.2/14.4 kbps point-to-point modems. These modems are capable of full-duplex, synchronous data transmission over analog private lines (APL). The 3400/4400 Series modems incorporate the VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) design with new generation architecture referred as a Universal Signal Processor (USP). The USP architecture provides unparalleled processing power for superior online performance, network control, and future product enhancements.

DATAPHONE II Analog Private Line (APL) Modems

These modems are capable of full-duplex, synchronous data transmission over analog private line channels at speeds up to 19.2 kbps. APL modems can be used as control or tributary modems in a point-to-point, multipoint, or secondary diagnostic channel using the low end of the analog private line's bandwidth. Through this secondary channel, the 6800 Series NMS is able to manage and monitor the modems.

COMSPHERE 3900 Series Modems

The COMSPHERE 3900 Series modems are standalone or carrier-mounted devices which operate on either 2-wire PSTN or APL facilities in either synchronous or asynchronous mode. These modes are available for both point-to-point and multipoint configurations.

NMS-Supported Direct Distance Dialing (DDD) Modems

NMS supports the following DDD modems:

COMSPHERE 3800 Series Direct Distance Dialing (DDD) (or Software-defined) Modems

The COMSPHERE 3800 Series DDD software-defined modem is a standalone or carrier-mounted device. There are five models available (3810-A1-001, 3811-B1-001, 3820-A1-001, 3830-A1-001, and 3830-a1-001.) Models 3810-A1-001 and 3811-B1-001 conform to the following rule: the dial/leased models support dial, 2-wire leased, or

4-wire leased communications. They also support automatic backup of the leased line. Model 3820-A1-001 conforms to the following rule: the dial modem supports dial or 2-wire leased communications; automatic backup of the leased line is not supported.
