Setting Up 5

Considerations When Setting Up

When setting up the system, you need to:
Arrange for T1 service.
Plan your channel map. See
Assigning Cross Connections
on page 5-36 for
more information.
Choose a management configuration. Decide how you want to manage the
system:
Locally through the T1 access unit’s communications (COM) port either
directly or remotely through a modem.
Through an asynchronous terminal interface or Telnet session, or through
an SNMP NMS.
Determine whether you want alarms generated and how you would like the
system to communicate alarm information to an ASCII terminal/printer or a
management system.
Configuring for Alarms and Traps
on page 5-64 tells
you how to set alarms.
Determine whether you want traps generated and how you would like the
system to communicate trap information to an ASCII terminal/printer or a
management system.
Setting Up for SNMP Management
on page 5-70 tells
you how to set SNMP traps.
If you are managing the system using an SNMP NMS or Telnet, select an IP
addressing scheme.
