HSIM-W87 User’s Guide 4-3
4.2 NETWORK TOOLS
The Network Tools utility allows management of objects in the
HSIM-W87 Management Information Bases (MIBs). MIBs are databases
of objects used for managing the device and configuring the HSIM-W87.
The commands within the MIB Navigator allow the user to view and
modify a device’s objects.
The host platform contains either the Network Tools utility, or the MIB
Navigator utility. They are essentially the same tool, with some minor
differences depending on the platform. They will both be referred to as
Network Tools in this document, and there is no difference in their use for
the purpose of this document. Using Network Tools may be a more
convenient method for a user to configure the HSIM-W87 than using the
MIBs in some circumstances. Full functionality is still available by using
the MIBs. The host platform has a set of functions for Network Tools that
are used on that platform. The following additions to the Network Tools
utility from the WAN perspective are specific to the HSIM-W87, and can
only be used when a HSIM-W87 is installed in the platform.
imux – support for configuration and monitoring of the Inverse
Multiplexer (ctwan-multi-imux-mib.txt, Revision 1.00.00)
ds1alarm – support for ds1 alarm monitoring (ctremote-mib.txt,
Revision 1.00.02, Ds1Alarms branch)
wanpq – support for Wan IP Priority Queuing (ctremote-mib.txt,
Revision 1.00.02, ctIPPQFilters branch)
dsx1 – support for RFC 1406 statistics and configuration
dsx3 – support for RFC 1407 statistics and configuration
Only the above commands, that are particular to the HSIM-W87, will be
described in the following sections. The host platform’s manual describes
the other commands that are not particular to the HSIM-W87. Refer to the
host platform manual for information on the other commands.
Important Notice
The HSIM-W87 statistics that are accessed using the Switch and
Interface Statistics screens are not explained in this manual. Refer to the
applicable host platform manual for details. “T3 Interface” and “T1
Interface” will be displayed as the name of the HSIM-W87 interface in the
statistics screens.
