Introduction

You can configure the OnSite (see figure 3) in one of two ways:

Software configuration using command line interface (CLI) via the console port

Hardware configuration via DIP switches

Figure 3. OnSite (Model 3088A/D shown)

Software (CLI) configuration

To use the software configuration, you must set the S4 (Rate) DIP switches to the OFF position before power- ing up the OnSite. When it is set for software-configuration mode, the OnSite will read any configuration data previously saved to FLASH memory during system power-up. If no configuration data was previously saved to FLASH, then the OnSite will load the factory-default configuration from FLASH memory. After power-up, you may use console commands or the Embedded Operations Channel (EOC) to modify the configuration parameters.

Hardware (DIP-switch) configuration

To use DIP-switch configuration you must first set the DIP switches to a position other than all OFF or all ON before powering-up the OnSite. When all the DIP switches are set to any position other than all OFF or all ON the OnSite will operate in hardware (DIP-switch)-configuration mode. In DIP-switch-configuration mode the OnSite will read the DIP-switch settings during system startup and configure itself according to the switch set- tings.

Once you power-up the OnSite in DIP-switch mode, it will operate in DIP-switch mode until powered down. When operating in DIP-switch mode you cannot change any configuration settings:

Changing the DIP switch settings while the device is running requires the dsl start command.

If you attempt to modify the configuration by issuing console commands, the device will not execute your commands- except for the dsl start command and the show commands. Instead, the OnSite will respond with a message indicating the device is operating in DIP-switch-configuration mode.

If you attempt to modify any configuration parameters via the EOC (by changing (EOC variables), the OnSite will not execute your changes.
