Verilink Access System 2000: The Basics

AS2000 Management Options

There are five methods of node management for AS2000. The five
management options are:

•

Craft or L

OCAL

port (ASCII) interface.

•

Node Manager program (a GUI interface that can manage an
entire AS2000 network).

•

SNMP interface, using Manager of Managers (MOM).

•

Access Manager 2000, a screen-based software product that
manages NCC controller modules. (Not Y2K ready).

•

Thumbwheel switches, a mechanical way to configure certain
TABS-based modules.

Craft (ASCII)

Interface

The Craft interface is accessed by connecting directly to the port
labelled C

RAFT

or L

OCAL

on the front panel of a node controller

module. This interface can configure any module in the local node.
A Craft cable connects the module to a personal computer in
terminal mode, providing a direct connection to the firmware
within the module. A node containg an SCC or NCM controller
module can be managed remotely using a personal computer,
Telnet, and the IP address of the remote node controller.

Figure 1-2

is an example of an ASCII screen.

NOTE: The NCC 2020 and NCC 2130 node controller modules do not

support remote management by Telnet.
