Description
Machine Interface Format
(MIF) interface
MIF is an Ascend-specific language that provides an alternative
configuration interface for Ascend units. You can use a
command line or write a MIF program that sets Ascend
parameters, rather than use the configuration menus to change
one parameter after another. MIF programs provide a
batch-processing method of changing a configuration or
performing a series of actions. For MIF instructions, see the
MAX MIF Supplement.
Sys Diag and Line Diag
commands
The Sys Diag commands enable you to reset the device, save or
restore configuration information, and perform other
administrative functions. The Line Diag commands enable
loopbacks and other diagnostics on WAN lines. For details, see
the MAX Reference Guide.
You can also reset the MultiVoice Gateway, set the configuration
state of a T1 line, and obtain configuration information from
RADIUS by using SNMP. For details, see the Ascend Enterprise
MIB. You can download the most up-to-date version of the
Ascend Enterprise MIB by logging in as anonymous to
ftp.ascend.com. (No password is required.)
DO commands
Pressing Ctrl-D in the VT100 interface displays the DO menu,
which contains commands for changing security levels in the
MultiVoice Gateway, or for manually dialing or clearing a call.
For details, see the MAX Reference Guide.
Status windows
The status windows in the VT100 interface provide information
about what is currently happening in the MultiVoice Gateway.
For details, see the MAX Reference Guide.
Troubleshooting
For troubleshooting tips, see Appendix A, “Troubleshooting.”
