COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System

release/apl-or-dds

Changes from the switched network facility back to the Analog Private Line or the Digital Data Service facility.

If the specified device(s) are COMSPHERE devices, valid entries are the following:

originate/ddd

Establishes a DDD backup facility for the device. This value will be accepted only by a control modem equipped with an ACAA or DBM. A tributary modem will always respond with a conflict with environment message.

release/apl-or-dds

Disconnects the DDD backup facility from the device. This value, when sent to a control modem, causes both ends of a dial connection to be terminated. When this value is sent to a tributary device, only the selected device's dial lines will be terminated.

reset-dbm-lockout

Alerts an operator to correct the telephone number problem. When an automatic call is initiated by the 3400/4400 Series modem for backup purposes, it is possible to have the telephone number in the modem incorrectly configured. (An incorrect telephone number represents a call to an inappropriate device.) If the telephone number is incorrect, the device will attempt to call a predetermined number of times before it goes into a DBM-lockout mode where the device is locked out of making an automatic call for a period of 4 hours. If the operator corrects the problem and wants to override the established 4-hour waiting period for the modem to be able to automatically initiate a call again, the operator can select the reset-dbm-lockoutoption to manually override the lockout time period.

leased-lookback

Causes a 3400/4400 Series modem equipped with a DBM to determine the ``healthº of the APL while still transmitting on the dial line. Depending on the outcome of the APL check, data may be automatically switched to the private line. (This option causes no disruption to primary data.)

A pop-up menu is available listing valid selections.
