Monitoring the DSL Cards

The Hotwire DSL software provides menu options to monitor the activity of the

Hotwire DSL cards. The monitoring screens allow you to:

List the status of active ports and interfaces in a card, as well as display

statistics about the physical layers and interfaces.

Display network protocol statistics, such as information about an application

program assigned to a specific socket number, UDP statistics, TCP data and

connection statistics, IP statistics, ICMP packet statistics, and SNMP statistics

including SNMP authentication statistics.

Display information about the Client, ARP, and Virtual Network Identifiers

(VNIDs).

Display endpoint information about DSL ports such as Service Node ty pe,

system name, system contact, and system location. Model and serial number,

along with firmware and hardware revisions, are also shown.

Use the monitoring screens to help you gather pertinent information a nd isolate

potential problem areas. You can monitor the system with either Administrator or

Operator permission. For more information about monitoring the system, se e

Chapter 4,

Monitoring the Hotwire DSL System.

Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

The Hotwire DSL system provides DSL diagnostic menu options, for example,

that:

Display self-test results for CPU health, memory and ports, and reset time.

Show major alarms such as Selftest Failure, Processor Failure, and DSL or

Ethernet port failure.

Show minor alarms such as Configuration Error or Incorrect SN por ts.

Run a nondisruptive packet echo test over the DSL line.

NOTE:

You must have Administrator permission to perform most of the

troubleshooting and diagnostic activities. However, you can run nondisruptive

tests as a user with Operator permission.

For more information about troubleshooting and diagnostics, see Chapter 5,

Diagnostics and Troubleshooting.

NOTE:

If you would like more information on DSL-based services, applications, and

network deployment, refer to Paradyne’s

DSL Sourcebook.

The book may be
