Operator action buttons
The operator action buttons (see figure 68) do the following:
Activate All 16 Ports—Pressing this button activates all 16 iDSL ports
Deactivate All 16 Ports—Pressing this button deactivates all 16 iDSL ports
Submit—When defining values for configurable parameters on the page, you will use this button to save
your work. When you click the Submit button, the T-DAC writes the currently displayed parameter values
to volatile DRAM. You will also see a second Submit button at the bottom of the page, which provides
exactly the same function.
Refresh Current Page—Refreshes the display. When you click the Refresh Current Page button, the T-
DAC retrieves parameter values currently stored in DRAM and displays them on the page. Any values
entered or selected since you last clicked Submit will be overwritten with values retrieved from DRAM.
After defining new values for configurable parameters on this page, use this button to update the display to
reflect any resulting changes in iDSL port status.
iDSL port status
The iDSL port status section of the iDSL Port Configuration window (see figure 67 on page 133) shows the
overall status for each of the 16 internal iDSL ports, and provides the means for you to define the following
iDSL port parameters:
Circuit ID
Desired State
Test Mode
Test Pattern
CPE Circuit ID
The following sections describe the contents of the iDSL port status table.
Port Number (idslPortNum)
The first column in the port status table identifies each of the 16 iDSL ports by an index number. The ports are
numbered 1 through 16. Each port number in the table also functions as a hyperlink. Clicking on the Port #
link opens the iDSL Port Details window, where you can view detailed port status and statistics, and define
additional configurable iDSL port parameters. The iDSL Port Details window is described later in this chapter
(see section “iDSL Port Details window” on page 140).
