HDM 2180 Management: Using NCM 2000
Verilink HDM 2180 User Manual 4-3
Using an NCM in your DS3 network offers several advantages:
• Higher security on the network with four levels of access using
password control.
• Verilink’s proprietary overhead bandwidth enables you to
configure and troubleshoot the far-end node without
interference from repeaters in the network. The “inband
channel” requires the C-bit parity format.
• Up to three users can access the DS3 module at a time.
The following commands are available on the Main Menu to set and
manage many of the HDM 2180 parameters (for more extensive
information about the NCM module, see the NCM 2000 User
Manual):
Table 4-1 HDM 2180 NCM Main Menu Commands
Shelf and Slot Parameters
When accessing the HDM 2180 via the NCM Module, this will always
be the first option to be chosen before any parameters on the HDM
2180 can be monitored or modified. Once the shelf/slot address for
an HDM 2180 has been selected from the Main Menu and the
screen is refreshed by pressing the E
NTER key, the Main Menu’s
prompt will display the shelf/slot address of the HDM 2180.
