Configuring MX-2100
3.1 Introduction
In this chapter you will find detailed instructions for configuring MX-2100. The
information in this chapter includes:
•
General description of MX-2100 control, display and push-button functions,
and menu organization
•
Setting the configuration parameters for MX-2100.
Refer to the
Operation
chapter for a description of the MX-2100 front panel, and
the syntax, usage and commands of the MX-2100 supervision language.
3.2 Control of MX-2100 Operation
General
MX-2100 operating mode is determined by a set of parameters stored in the
internal non-volatile memory of the KCL.2 module. These parameters are selected
by the user, using the MX-2100 front panel push-buttons, a supervision terminal,
or a SNMP network management station. When main link bandwidth is allocated
to the MX-2100 management channel, the parameters that must be used by both
MX-2100 units connected by the main link can also be downloaded from one of
the units to the other unit.
After the operating parameters have been selected, a process called configuration
set-up, the MX-2100 no longer requires operator attendance.
The configuration stored in the MX-2100 memory is not affected when the power
is turned off. Upon power-up, the stored configuration is retrieved and its validity
is checked during the power-up self-test:
•
If everything is OK, after power-up the MX-2100 assumes the last selected
configuration and is immediately ready for operation (unless the user wants to
change the system configuration).
•
If errors are detected in the configuration data, the MX-2100 lets you load a
default configuration in its place. The default configuration, prepared by the
manufacturer, is stored in the program EPROM. The user can later modify the
default values as required.
