Cabletron Systems 1800 Switch User Manual


 
4-4 SmartSwitch 1800 4.0 User Guide, Rev 01
Make sure that each Cabletron frame relay access device on the
same network is assigned a different Remote Control ID.
Remote Control Pwd
is a password used in conjunction with the
Remote Control ID
, and will be checked
against the user data field of a Call Request packet. Both the
Remote Control ID
and
the password must match what is expected, or the SmartSwitch will not accept a
request for remote control.
File Transfer ID
is used for file transfers (see page 19-4) to or from this SmartSwitch. The ID will be
checked against the called address field of a Call Request packets coming into this
SmartSwitch.
File Transfer Pwd
is a password used in conjunction with the
File Transfer ID
. Both the
File Transfer ID
and the
File Transfer Pwd
must match what is expected, or the SmartSwitch will not
accept a request for file transfer.
Collecting Node ID
is defined on a collecting node (described later) for use by other Cabletron frame relay
access devices that send their alarms to that collecting node. This same ID must be
configured on each non-collecting node as the
Primary Alarm Output ID
. The
Collecting
Node ID
has no function on non-collecting nodes.
Collecting Node Pwd
is a password that will be checked to verify that the
Primary Alarm Output ID
is being
used for alarms. Since the same ID can be specified for several functions, the software
processes can use the passwords to identify the different functions.
Any non-alarm passwords must be different than any alarm
passwords. Unless you are certain you are not duplicating a
password, leave all passwords at the default settings.
Primary Alarm Output ID
specifies where alarms will be sent. On a device configured as a collecting node, the
ID is usually associated with an async PAD port connected to a printer (or server). On
non-collecting nodes, the ID is usually the
Primary Alarm Output ID
of a collecting
node. The alarm system is designed for guaranteed delivery to the primary output
device, and output to the secondary device only if it is available. Problems with the
secondary device will not stop delivery to the primary device.
If specifying an async port to a printer, be sure to configure the Async PAD
Profile (see page 12-2) to match the line speed of the printer. (Do not con-
figure the port for
Autobaud
.)
Primary Alarm Output Pwd
is a password that will be used with the
Primary Alarm Output ID
. If that ID is a col-
lecting node, the local SmartSwitch's
Primary Alarm Output Pwd
(Password) must
match the collecting node’s
Collecting Node Pwd
.
