CP525 cMux User’s Manual Rev. 5.20.12 (3944)
ID: um_tsmux
The management subsystem communicates with other internal modules to make the unit per-
form the wanted operations.
5.7.1 Graphical user interface
Operators monitor and control the CP525 mainly via the Adobe Flash GUI application served
from the device’s WEB server. The GUI application is accessed via a WEB browser that com-
municates with the configuration framework through an HTTP/XML based protocol.
The device exposes extensive status information to the web GUI providing detailed reports and
real-time monitoring displays to the device administrator.
All the device configuration parameters available on the CP525 can be controlled from the web
GUI.
5.7.2 Configuration database
The management subsystem processes configuration changes as transactions. All configuration
changes made to the device are validated against the current running configuration before
committing them to the device. This limits the risks of the administrator implementing changes
that may cause down-time on the unit due to incompatible configuration settings.
Configurations can be imported and exported via the GUI. It is possible to clone the entire con-
figuration of one device to another by exporting the configuration of one device and importing
it to another.
Configurations exported via the web GUI are formatted as human readable/modifiable XML
files. These files can be viewed or altered using any standard text or XML editor such as
Windows Notepad.
To simplify cloning of devices, certain exported parameters within the XML file are tagged
as device specific and therefore will be ignored when imported to either the same device or
another. These parameters are as follows:
•
Device Name and Inventory ID
•
IP network parameters
•
ASI Port mappings
•
On-device stored configurations
5.7.3 Alarm manager
The CP525 contains an integrated alarm manager responsible for consistently displaying the
alarm status of each individual interface.
“Port Alarms” are alarms bound to a specific input or output port via a port indexing system.
The alarm severity for port related alarms can be configured per port level. “Device Alarms”
are global to the device and are not bound to any specific port. They do not follow the indexing
scheme. These are classified as “System Alarms”.
