The Configuration MENU is used to view and change the unit's configuration parameters, date and time, network interface parameters, and DTE interface parameters.
Both the DISPLAY and CONFIGURATION MENUS are also able to access the remote unit. Remote monitoring and configuration are only available when there is an EML (Embedded Maintenance Link) channel to the remote unit. When you request status or configuration information from the remote unit, the local unit sends a request to the remote unit over ADL, and waits for a reply. While waiting for the reply, the local unit displays the message:
PLEASE WAIT...
On the front panel. If there is no reply from the remote unit within 10 seconds, the display of the local unit will show:
REMOTE NOT AVAILABLE
Otherwise, the information reported by the remote unit will be displayed.
SELECT REMOTE/SELECT LOCAL
Pressing the DOWN ARROW cursor button when the default message is in the display brings the message SELECT REMOTE or R, SELECT LOCAL to the display. This allows you to log onto either the local or remote DL3800E.
When logged onto the local unit it displays SELECT REMOTE. When logged onto the remote unit, the display will read R,SELECT LOCAL. To change the DL3800E unit being monitored and controlled, press Enter. The message in the display blinks. Press Enter once again to change from SELECT REMOTE to R,SELECT LOCAL or visa versa.
NOTE: When logged onto the remote unit, an R, will appear as the
first two characters in the display For example: R,NET1 STATISTICS
DISPLAY MENU
The DISPLAY MENU is used for displaying Node status, DTE status and the status of each installed E1 line. It is also used to clear the error counters (Clearing the error counters can only be done when the DL3800E unit is not in the Protected Mode).
