2. The DSL Cards menu appears. Enter the desired value on each selected on

each selected screen and field as shown in Table 5-6 and press Return.

Table 5-6. DSL Options

Set IP Address (Configure DSL IP Addr) A-G-A
You must assign up to 18 IP addresses in the management domain, one for each slot in
the DSLAM that has a DSL card. These are addresses for the s1b backplane interface
on each DSL card and will be automatically assigned to the DSL card when it is inserted
in a slot. All IP addresses must be on the same Management Domain Subnet as the
MCC’s IP address (entered on the MCC’s IP Network screen A-C-B).
DSL Card Subnet Mask –
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
format.
Slot – Slot number of the DSL card.
IP Address –
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
format. (Subnet is predetermined – you can enter the
host number.)
NOTE: If you have made changes to this screen, you must do a card reset or
restart the s1b interface. Also, do not assign the same subnets as those
used for the e1a (Ethernet) service domains.
Reset Slot (Reset DSL Slot) A-G-B
Gives the user the ability to perform a reset of a DSL card in any DSLAM slot. This reset
should be performed if there is a card in a slot but it does not appear on the DSLAM
card selection screen. After entering the card number, selecting the command that will
be sent (ForceBootP or reset), and confirming the reset, the MCC sends a reset signal
via the backplane to the selected card.
Your choices on this screen allow you to ForceBootP (a nondisruptive reset), Reset (a
minor disruption of less than 30 seconds), or Clear NVRAM (resets card and restores
factory default settings).
DSL Card/Slot # – Slot number of the DSL card.
Command – ForceBootP/Reset. ForceBootP will only work for certain cards (e.g., with
T1 and E1 connections).
Clear NVRAM also – Yes/No.*
NOTE: If a DSL card has been reset but still does not appear on the screen, its
configuration may have been corrupted and the card should be reset again,
this time answering yes at the Clear NVRAM prompt. If the card then
appears on the screen, it will have to be reconfigured. If the card does not
appear on the screen, it should probably be replaced.
*If you select yes on this screen, you will permanently remove most of the configuration
information you have stored on this card and all IP addresses and routing tables will
have to be reentered. The system will perform a reset and return to the factory
settings.
