MCC Card ACS-MCC Card User Screens and Settings
NETMASK
The IPADDR together with the NETMASK identifies the IP network for the Ethernet
interface. Any valid netmask address is acceptable.
DEF RT
The Default Route setting identifies the IP Address of the port used to forward IP datagrams
with destination unknown to the MCC. When stat (static) is selected, the IP address must be
entered by the user. When dyn (dynamic) is selected, the IP address is dynamically assigned
by a router. RIP must be turned on if dyn is selected. The default is none.
RIP
When the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) setting is off (default), no RIP traffic is allowed
into or out of the Ethernet interface. Setting this variable to rx allows incoming RIP traffic
only, while setting it to tx allows only outgoing RIP traffic. Setting this variable to rx/tx
allows both incoming and outgoing RIP traffic.
Note: Due to the high number of interfaces on the ACS-MCC card and the relatively low
bandwidth of the Munich interfaces, you should be careful when implementing the
RIP option.
SH
When the Split Horizon (SH) variable is set to on, the ACS-MCC card does not automatically
send RIP information along routes it "learned" through the same interface. The default is off.
WEIGHT
The Weight parameter assigns a weighting variable to the specified interface. The number
must be between 1 and 15. The default is 1.
FMT-MAIN
This parameter is used to indicate the format of the 64 ports on the main board. When bxr is
selected, ports 1 through 64 are configured to B4R (E1) or B7R (T1). When hdlc is selected,
ports 1 through 64 are configured to 64 kbps. (See note below for exception.)
