Interfaces

SNMP Interface

Telect provides a private enterprise MIB (management information base) with which you can perform all MIX 56 functions. Telect’s private enter- prise MIB also supports many features of the standard RFC 1213 MIB II. You can download the latest MIB at www.telect.com.

You can use any SNMP-compatible network management system such as SunConnect’s SunNet Manager, HP Open View, or Castle Rock’s SNMPc to manage a system.

SNMP is available only over the Ethernet port.

Craft Interface

The Craft interface is a menu-driven system that can be accessed either by the Craft (serial, RS232) port or Ethernet port. The Craft interface is cov- ered in detail in this section of this manual.

TL1 Interface

The TL1 interface is a command line system that can be accessed either by the Craft (serial, RS232) port or the Ethernet port. The TL1 interface is covered in TL1 Design, Telect document 126055, included with the MIX 56 System Software.

Ports

Craft Port

The Craft port is a nine-pin (DB9) RS-232 serial port located on the front of the chassis that connects to an RS-232 terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software in VT-100 mode. The terminal or PC port must be set for 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity; and its baud rate must match the Craft port’s setting of the MIX 56. Craft port baud rate choices are 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200. (The baud rate can be set from the Craft inter- face’s System Interfaces screen or the TL1 command “set-baud”.)

Use a shielded, straight wire RS-232 cable (not null modem cable) with a male DB9 connector to connect to the Craft port.

Ethernet Port

The Ethernet port is a 10Base-T port that is located on the rear of the chas- sis. Configure your network port as half duplex to match the MIX 56 Ether- net port.
