Interfaces to the T1 Frame Relay Access Unit
Your interfaces to the T1 frame relay access unit are the front panel LEDs, the
menu-driven user interface, and SNMP (simple network management protocol)
network management. These interfaces provide feedback and status for the
access unit and, if installed, the dial backup module (DBM).
This chapter tells you how to set up and navigate the menu-driven user interface.
T1 Access Unit’s Faceplate
The access unit’s faceplate includes 12 LEDs (light-emitting diodes). See
Chapter 5,
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
, for an understanding of what each
LED indicates.
Async Terminal User Interface
Access to the easy to use, menu-driven interface is provided through an async
(asynchronous or other VT100-compatible) terminal, PC terminal emulation, or a
Telnet session. This guide focuses upon using this menu-driven user interface.
Network Management
Acting as an SNMP agent, the access unit supports external management by an
SNMP manager via industry-standard and enterprise-specific management
information base (MIB) objects. Refer to the
T1 Frame Relay Access Unit,
Model 9120/9121, Technical Reference for supported MIB objects.
