FEEDER MUX NODE IDS
You should renumber and rename a feeder mux
after configuring its link. Mux and X.21 links have
default numbers and names according to the port
they are assigned (see Section 3.5).
If there is a problem ascertaining the mux node ID,
you may display the node status. This will show the
node names for local feeder muxes. See Section 8.8,
Review Link Configuration.
Local feeder muxes are those connected to the
local Multiserver. Remote feeder muxes are those
connected to remote Multiservers. To configure
either local or remote feeder muxes, access the
Command Facility of the Multiserver to which the
feeder mux is attached. (For remote feeder muxes,
first select option 4 of the Command Facility,
Configure/View Remote Node.) Then follow these
procedures:
Enter the port number of the link (node) to be
configured. The following prompt will be displayed
on the screen:
Enter the node number. Press <cr> (refer to
Section 3.4, Syntax for Node Numbers and IDs, to
review syntax requirements). The following prompt
will appear on the screen:
Enter the node ID. Press <cr>. Remember that the
node ID (node name) must be unique. Do not
enter the name of the local Multiserver; feeder
muxes have their own node IDs.
The following message and prompt will appear:
The unit will reset, and you will be returned to the
Command Facility.
The local Multiserver can configure the data and
voice/fax ports of the feeder mux(es). This
includes feeder muxes attached to the local and to
the remote Multiserver. Access the Command
Facility of the Multiserver to which the feeder mux
is attached. Select the parameter for configuration
and proceed with configuration of the port as if it
were a Multiserver.
