 Operation

This chapter gives information on day to day use of the RS-1612

rack system. Most of what you will do with the rack involves

configuring or setting modems or network administration. These

topics are covered in detail in the U-336R/RE and ZyViewII User's

Guides. They are not covered in this manual except to expound on,

or point out exceptions to the other manual information.

The RS-1612 rack system control panel lets you configure each

modem in the rack and the rack itself. A detailed menu tree

containing the operations needed to set all the modems in the

system. See the Menu Tree Guide included with the RS-1612 for

details.

The RS-1612 display includes:

• Rack Slot Menu - The Rack Slot Menu shows the status of

each slot in the rack.

• Modem Menu - The Modem Menu is the first display leading

to the modem setting menus as seen in the Menu Tree Guide.

• Main Display - The Main Display shows the name of the rack,

version number, and rack’s IP address.

• Message Display - The message display shows short messages

sent to the rack by the supervisor using the ZyView NMS, and

the rack’s IP address.
