FOUR METHODS OF CONTROL
Front Panel
The front panel provides complete and easy control of all items that
can be configured through menu guided options. The front panel
LCD displays the status of operation and performance reports for
the unit. A complete discussion of the operation of the front panel
and all the menu options is found in Chapter 3, Operation, on page
3-1.
ADTRAN PC Program
T-Watch is the ADTRAN PC control program. It provides complete
control over the configuration of the T1 ESF CSU ACE using a
graphic interface. The T-Watch program displays the same status
and performance data as the front panel LCD. This data is
displayed in the form of tables and graphs.
The T-Watch program has the following capabilities:
• Interface with modem permits dialing into a remote T1 ESF
CSU ACE location to configure the unit or read the unit’s status
or performance.
• Performance data read from the units can be exported in a file
which is compatible with common spreadsheet programs.
SNMP
The ADTRAN T1 ESF CSU ACE supports the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) through the ADTRAN Advisor
SNMP Proxy Agent (1950007L1) to a network management system
such as OpenView® or SunNet Manager™. The proxy agent runs
on a PC and can interface to the T1 ESF CSU ACE directly or
through a modem, in the same manner as the T-Watch PC
programs.
