MCC Card ACS-MCC Card User Screens and Settings

NETMASK

The IPADDR together with the NETMASK identifies the IP network for the Ethernet interface. Any valid netmask address is acceptable.

DEF RT

The Default Route setting identifies the IP Address of the port used to forward IP datagrams with destination unknown to the MCC. When stat (static) is selected, the IP address must be entered by the user. When dyn (dynamic) is selected, the IP address is dynamically assigned by a router. RIP must be turned on if dyn is selected. The default is none.

RIP

When the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) setting is off (default), no RIP traffic is allowed into or out of the Ethernet interface. Setting this variable to rx allows incoming RIP traffic only, while setting it to tx allows only outgoing RIP traffic. Setting this variable to rx/tx allows both incoming and outgoing RIP traffic.

Note: Due to the high number of interfaces on the ACS-MCC card and the relatively low bandwidth of the Munich interfaces, you should be careful when implementing the RIP option.

SH

When the Split Horizon (SH) variable is set to on, the ACS-MCC card does not automatically send RIP information along routes it "learned" through the same interface. The default is off.

WEIGHT

The Weight parameter assigns a weighting variable to the specified interface. The number must be between 1 and 15. The default is 1.

FMT-MAIN

This parameter is used to indicate the format of the 64 ports on the main board. When bxr is selected, ports 1 through 64 are configured to B4R (E1) or B7R (T1). When hdlc is selected, ports 1 through 64 are configured to 64 kbps. (See note below for exception.)
