NMS Address: When used with the EM8000 element man-
ager, each PRISM unit connected to the local daisy chain
must be programmed with a unique address in the range of
‘
1
’ through ‘
250
’. To program a number, scroll through the
digits with the up and down arrow key. Press the right arrow
key to select a digit. A valid NMS address must be selected
before the configuration can be recalled upon start up.
After software has been downloaded into the flash memory,
the RAM must be cleared. This process sets the NMS
address to ‘
000
’. If the unit is then powered down with this
address, it will reboot with the NMS address of ‘
251
’.
NMS Bit Rate: This field sets the interface speed for the
‘
NMS
IN
’ and ‘
NMS
OUT
’ ports. The selections are ‘
1200
’,
‘
2400
’, ‘
4800
’, ‘
9600
’, and ‘
19200
’ bps.
Supv Bit Rate: This field sets the interface speed for the
supervisory port (
SUPV
). The selections are ‘
1200
’,
‘
2400
’, ‘
4800
’, ‘
9600
’, and ‘
19200
’ bps.
Boot Mode: When the PRISM unit is powered, its config-
ured is based on this selection. If set to ‘
LOCAL
’, the unit
restores the configuration parameters in effect when power
was lost. If set to ‘
NMS
’, the unit will use the configuration
parameters supplied from the EM8000 element manager
database (the unit must have a valid NMS address - from 1
to 250). As shipped from the factory, the unit uses the fac-
tory default configurations stored in the ‘
LOCAL
’ memory.
Alarm Cutoff: When this menu item is set to ‘
DISABLE
’,
the PRISM reports a network interface alarm condition by
lighting the front panel indicator and activating the alarm
relay contacts on the rear panel. When set to ‘
ENABLE
’, the
front panel ‘
ALARM
’ indicator still lights during an alarm
condition, but the alarm contacts are forced to an inactive
state regardless of the alarm status.
Call on Alarm: This field controls remote alarm reporting.
Three submenus are available as follows:
Alarm Notification:
[
OFF
] - Disables alarm reporting.
[
DIRECT
] - Sends reports to a printer or terminal con-
nected directly to the supervisory port.
[
DIAL
] - Sends reports through an attached ‘AT’ com-
mand set compatible modem connected to the ‘SUPV’
serial port, which must dial out to a remote modem.
[
DIAL
NMS
] - Calls the EM8000 to dump alarms directly.
Edit Primary and Secondary Dial String:
These fields are 18-character ASCII strings for the call on
alarm phone numbers used in the [
DIAL
] and [
DIAL
NMS
] modes. The unit attempts 3 times to connect using
the primary number. If all 3 attempts fail, it will attempt 3
times to connect using the secondary number (if it is not
