DSL Card Configuration
Overview
This chapter describes configuration options on the DSL card. Use these options
to customize your applications. For information on customizing the MCC card, see
the
Hotwire Management Communications Controller (MCC) Card, IP
Conservative, User’s Guide
.
Naming Conventions
Special naming conventions exist for the Port Name and Interface Name fields.
Port Name – Identifies a physical port. It consists of a family name (such as
dsl for a DSL card, eth for Ethernet, or sar for SAR), and a port number. The
port number can range from 1–4 for 4-port cards such as the 8510 RADSL
card, 1–12 for 12-port cards such as the 8312 ReachDSL card, or 1–24 for
24-port cards such as the 8343 SDSL card. See the following example:
dsl4
where:
dsl = Family Name (dsl, eth or sar)
4 = Port Number (for example, Port 4)
Interface Name – Identifies a logical connection. It consists of a family name
and a port number (same as the port name), followed by a number identifying
the drop on which the connection is located (for those networks consisting of
multiple drops on a line). Currently, the drop number is limited to 1 on all
screens, except for Block Error Rate Test (D-E) on the 8314 ReachDSL card.
See the following example:
dsl12:1
where:
dsl = Family Name (dsl or eth)
12 = Port Number (for example, Port 12)
1 = Multidrop Number (currently, only 1 is allowed)
