Help (DACS help information)
Clicking on the Help button displays the DACS Help Information window (see figure 16). The purpose of
this window is to help the user learn how to add DS0 connections using the DACS HTML pages. This win-
dow define all of the parameters available within this web page. If you are using the Command Line Format to
make connections, scroll down the window to the heading
Command Line Format . The information contained
in the Help window is also covered in this chapter.

Static Connection
Pull Down Menus
Each pull down window signifies part of a connection. Each connection is made up of an "A" side and a "B"
side. These names have been arbitrarily chosen and do not signify the direction that data will travel. All data
will be bi-directional. There are three parameters that need to be defined for each connection, they are:
• Device Type
• Device Number
• Device Slots
ID (daxConnectionID)
Then ID number identifies each mapping with a unique number. The number is automatically assigned
sequentially when a static connection is entered. The ID number begins at “1.”
Device Type (daxDeviceTypeTomDSL) (daxDeviceTypeFrommDSL)
The Device Type specifies the physical interface that you will be connecting. Within the 3095 the user has the
option of selecting either a T1/E1 WAN line or an mDSL modem. While the one side may be a T1/E1 WAN
line and the other an mDSL modem, note that both sides of the connection can be T1/E1 or both sides can be
mDSL. The two Device Types are t1-e1(1) and mDSL(3).
Device Number (daxDeviceNumberTomDSL) (daxDeviceNumberFrommDSL)
The next step in creating a connection through the DACs is to select the port that you would like to use. This
corresponds to the Port Number for the devices selected in the previous step. For example, if you would like to
make a connection to mDSL Port 3 (referring to mDSL modem #3), then select "Port 3" in the "Device Num-
ber" field. Note that there are 16 t1-e1 ports. Since there are either 8 or 16 mDSL modems within the 3095,
you may choose any of the 8 or 16 ports.
