Chapter 4
Control from the
Supervisory Port
4.1 General
This chapter provides detailed instructions for the management of HCD-E1
by means of ASCII terminals and IP hosts using the Telnet protocol.
The initial configuring of HCD-E1 is to be performed using a standard ASCII
terminal connected to the HCD-E1 control port, CONTROL DCE. However,
after performing the initial configuration, you can manage HCD-E1 using
any of the following three options:
•
Use the terminal as a supervision terminal, for performing all the
management activities supported by the HCD-E1.
•
Manage HCD-E1 from any IP host using the Telnet protocol. After
establishing a Telnet session with HCD-E1, the Telnet protocol offers the
same functionality as the supervision terminal, and in addition enables
remote access over IP networks.
•
Manage HCD-E1 by means of SNMP-based network management
stations, e.g., the RADview network management station offered by RAD,
using the SLIP protocol for communication.
This chapter includes the following information:
•
Description of supervision terminal hardware requirements,
communication and handshaking - Section 4-2.
•
Starting a management session by means of the supervision terminal -
Section 4-3.
•
Description of the set of commands and command syntax available for
the supervision terminal - Section 4-4 and Section 4-5. The same
command set is available to Telnet users.
•
General operating instructions, including start-up, routine operations, and
stopping of remote control - Section 4-6.
The instructions appearing in this chapter assume that the supervision
terminal operator is familiar with the HCD-E1 system and with its
configuration parameters.
For instructions regarding the use of the RADview network management
station, refer to the RADview User's Reference Manual.
