MAX TNT Profile and Parameter Reference

This chapter describes the MAX TNT parameters and profiles in alphabetical order.

Numeric A B C D E F G H I L M N O P Q R S T U V W Y

Numeric

7-Even

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT applies 7-bit even parity to data it sends toward a dial-in terminal-server user.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No. Accept the default value for most applications.

Yes enables the use of 7-bit even parity for data sent to dial-in terminal-server users.
No specifies 8-bit communication, in which no parity bit applies.

Example: set 7-even=no

Dependencies: If terminal services are disabled, 7-Even does not apply.

Location: Terminal-Server > Modem-Configuration

A

Acct-Drop-Stop-On-Auth-Fail

Description: Specifies whether RADIUS Accounting Stop packets are dropped for connections that fail authentication.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes specifies that RADIUS Accounting Stop packets are dropped for connections that fail authentication.
No specifies that RADIUS Accounting Stop packets are sent for connections that fail authentication.

Example: set acct-drop-stop-on-auth-fail=yes

Location: External-Auth > Rad-Acct-Client

Acct-Host

Description: Specifies a RADIUS accounting server for the MAX TNT to use for the connection.

Usage: Enter the IP address of a RADIUS accounting server. The default is 0.0.0.0, which causes the MAX TNT to look for an accounting server at the address specified by the External-Auth profile.

Example: set acct-host=10.9.8.2/24

Location: Connection station > UsrRad-Options

Acct-ID-Base

Description: Specifies whether the numeric base of the RADIUS Acct-Session-ID attribute is 10 or 16. You can set Acct-ID-Base globally and for each connection.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

Acct-Base-10 (the default) specifies a decimal base.
Acct-Base-16 specifies a hexadecimal base.

The value you specify controls how the MAX TNT presents the Acct-Session-ID attribute to the accounting server.

Example: set acct-id-base=acct-base-10

Dependencies: Consider the following:

If Acct-Type does not specify RADIUS, Acct-ID-Base does not apply.
Changing the value of Acct-ID-Base while accounting sessions are active results in inconsistent reporting between the Start and Stop records.
The Acct-Session-ID attribute is defined in section 5.5 of the RADIUS accounting specification.

Location:

Connection station > UsrRad-Options, External-Auth > Rad-Acct-Client

Acct-Key

Description: Specifies a RADIUS or TACACS+ shared secret. A shared secret acts as a password between the MAX TNT and the accounting server.

Usage: Specify the text of the shared secret. The value you specify must match the value in the RADIUS clients file or in the TACACS+ configuration file.

Example: set acct-key=Ascend

Dependencies: If Acct-Type does not specify RADIUS or TACACSPlus, Acct-Key does not apply.

Location: Connection station > UsrRad-Options, External-Auth > Rad-Acct-Client, External-Auth > TacPlus-Acct-Client

Acct-Limit-Retry

Description: Specifies the maximum number of retries for Accounting packets.

When the MAX TNT is configured for RADIUS accounting, it sends Accounting Start and Stop packets to the RADIUS server to record connections. If the server does not acknowledge a packet within the number of seconds you specify for Acct-Timeout, the MAX TNT tries again, resending the packet until the server responds, or dropping the packet if the queue of packets to be resent is full. You can limit the number of retries by setting a maximum.

Usage: To set the maximum number of retries for Accounting packets, set Acct-Limit-Retry to a value greater than 0 (zero). A value of 0 (the default) indicates an unlimited number of retries.

Note: The MAX TNT always makes at least one attempt. For example, if you set the number of retries to 10, the MAX TNT makes 11 attempts: the original attempt plus 10 retries.

Example: set acct-limit-retry=10

Location: External-Auth > Rad-Acct-Client

Acct-Port

Description: Specifies the UDP destination port to use for external accounting requests. When using RADIUS accounting, you can set Acct-Port globally and for each connection.

Usage: Specify a UDP port number from 1 to 32767. The value must match the port number the accounting daemon uses. For RADIUS, the default in a Connection profile is 1646, and the default in the External-Auth profile is 0 (zero). For TACACS+, the default is 49.

Example: set acct-port=1500

Dependencies: If Acct-Type does not specify RADIUS or TACACSPlus, Acct-Port does not apply.

Location: Connection station > UsrRad-Options, External-Auth > Rad-Acct-Client, External-Auth > TacPlus-Acct-Client

Acct-Reset-Time

Description: Specifies the number of seconds that must elapse before the MAX TNT returns to using the primary RADIUS accounting server.

Usage: Specify the number of seconds. The default is 0 (zero), which specifies that the MAX TNT does not return to using the primary RADIUS accounting server.

Example: set acct-reset-time=60

Dependencies: For Acct-Reset-Time to apply, you must specify at least one value for Acct-Server-N.

Location: External-Auth > Rad-Acct-Client

Acct-Server-N (N=1-3)

Description: Specifies the IP addresses of up to three external accounting servers. The MAX TNT first tries to connect to server #1. If it receives no response, it tries to connect to server #2. If it still receives no response, it tries to connect to server #3. If the MAX TNT connects to a server other than server #1, the MAX TNT continues to use that server until it fails to service requests, even if the first server comes back online.

Usage: Specify an IP address in dotted decimal notation. The default is 0.0.0.0, which indicates that no accounting server exists.

Example: set acct-server-1=10.2.3.4/24

Dependencies: If Acct-Type does not specify RADIUS or TACACSPlus, Acct-Server-N does not apply.

Location: External-Auth > Rad-Acct-Client, External-Auth > TacPlus-Acct-Client

Acct-Sess-Interval

Description: Specifies the number of seconds between RADIUS accounting reports recording the number of open sessions.

Usage: Specify a number of seconds from 0 to 65535. The default is 0 (zero), which turns off regular RADIUS open-session reports.

Example: set acct-sess-interval=15

Dependencies: If Acct-Type does not specify RADIUS, Acct-Sess-Interval does not apply. Acct-Sess-Interval has no effect unless the Ascend RADIUS daemon is running.

Location: External-Auth > Rad-Acct-Client

Acct-Src-Port

Description: Represents the UDP source port to use for RADIUS accounting.

Usage: Specify a value from 0 to 65535. The default is 0 (zero), which specifies that the MAX TNT selects the source port from the nonprivileged port range (1024-2000).

Example: set acct-src-port=3278

Dependencies: The MAX TNT uses the source port number to demultiplex the RADIUS reply packets to the appropriate slot cards. The system uses a separate source port for each slot card and shelf controller. On the MAX TNT, the actual source port is the value of Acct-Src-Port plus the slot number, where the slot number is 0 (zero) for the shelf controller. So, if you set Acct-Src-Port to 1000, packets originating from the shelf controller have a source port value of 1000, while packets originating from slot 6 have a source port value of 1006.

Location: External-Auth > Rad-Acct-Client, External-Auth > TacPlus-Acct-Client

Acct-Stop-Only

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT should send an Accounting Stop packet that does not contain a user name. (At times, the MAX TNT can send an Accounting Stop packet to the RADIUS server without having sent an Accounting Start packet. These Stop packets have no user name.)

Usage: Specify Yes or No. Yes is the default.

Yes specifies that the MAX TNT should send an Accounting Stop packet even if it does not contain a user name.
No specifies that the MAX TNT should not send an Accounting Stop packet if it does not contain a user name.

Example: set acct-stop-only=no

Location: External-Auth > Rad-Acct-Client

Acct-Timeout

Description: Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) that the MAX TNT waits for a response to a RADIUS accounting request. You can set Acct-Timeout globally and for each connection.

If it does not receive a response within the specified time, the MAX TNT sends the accounting request to the next server specified by Acct-Server-N. If all RADIUS accounting servers are busy, the MAX TNT stores the accounting request and tries again at a later time. It can queue up to 154 requests.

Usage: Specify an integer from 1 to 10. The default for a Connection profile is 1. The default for the External-Auth profile is 0 (zero).

Example: set acct-timeout=5

Dependencies: If Acct-Type does not specify RADIUS, Acct-Timeout does not apply. You use Acct-Timeout only for RADIUS accounting. Because TACACS+ uses TCP, it has its own timeout method.

Location: Connection station > UsrRad-Options, External-Auth > Rad-Acct-Client

Acct-Type

Description: Specifies whether to use RADIUS accounting, TACACS+ accounting, or no accounting at all. You can specify accounting globally and for each connection.

Usage: To enable or disable accounting in the External-Auth profile, specify one of the following values:

None (the default) disables accounting.
RADIUS enables RADIUS accounting.
TACACSPlus enables TACACS+ accounting.

To set accounting policy for a particular connection, specify one of the following values in the Connection profile:

Global (the default) specifies that the MAX TNT sends accounting information to one of the accounting servers specified by the External-Auth profile.
Local specifies that the MAX TNT sends accounting information to the accounting server specified by Acct-Host in the Connection profile.
Both specifies that the MAX TNT sends accounting information to both the global and local servers.

Example: set acct-type=acct-radius

Dependencies: For Acct-Type to have any effect in a Connection profile, you must set Acct-Type to RADIUS or TACACSPlus in the External-Auth profile. If you set Acct-Type to RADIUS or TACACSPlus, you must set Acct-Server to specify at least one accounting server, and that server must be running a version of the daemon that specifically supports accounting.

Location: Connection station > UsrRad-Options, External-Auth

Action

Description: Specifies the action the MAX TNT takes when it finds a matching route in a route-filter specification.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

None (the default) specifies that the MAX TNT takes no action.
Accept directs the MAX TNT to accept the route and allow it to affect the routing table.
Deny directs the MAX TNT to deny the route and prohibit it from affecting the routing table.
Add directs the MAX TNT to add the Add-Metric value to the route metric, and to accept the route.

Location:

Filter > Input-Filters > Route-Filter filter-name, 

Filter > Output-Filters > Route-Filter filter-name

Activation

Description: Selects the signals, at the serial WAN port, that indicate that the Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment (DCE) is ready to connect. Flow control is always handled by the Clear To Send (CTS) signal.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

Static (the default) specifies that the MAX TNT does not use flow control signals because the DCE is always connected.
DSR-Active specifies that the DCE raises the Data Set Ready (DSR) signal when it is ready.
DCD-DSR-Active specifies that the DCE raises the DSR and Data Carrier Detect (DCD) signals when it is ready.

Example: set activation=static

Location: SWAN {shelf-N slot-N N} > Line-Config

Active

Description: Activates an interface. An active interface is available for use.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes activates the interface.
No makes the interface unavailable for use.

Example: set active=yes

Location: Connection station, Connection station > IP-Options > OSPF-Options, Frame-Relay fr-name, IP-Interface {{shelf-N slot-N N} N} > OSPF

See Also: Enabled

Active-Enabled

Description: Disables or enables a User profile. A disabled profile is not available for use. A dash appears before each inactive profile.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes enables the User profile.
No disables the User profile.

Example: set active-enabled=yes

Location: User name

See Also: User

Active-Route

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT adds a static route to the routing table.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is Yes, except for the IP-Route profile called default. For the default IP-Route profile, the default is No.

Yes activates the static route and causes the MAX TNT to add it to the routing table.
No disables the route. An inactive route does not affect packet routing.

Example: set active-route=yes

Dependencies: The default route for an IP-Route profile always has the name default and a destination address of 0.0.0.0/0. To activate the default route, you must set Gateway-Address to the IP address of the default router, and set Active-Route=Yes.

Location: IP-Route name, IPX-Route name

Add-Metric

Description: Specifies the metric to add to the route metric for a route filter.

Usage: Specify a number. The number you specify must not result in a route metric greater than 15. The default is 0 (zero).

Dependencies: Add-Metric does not apply unless Action=Add.

Location: Filter > Input-Filters > Route-Filter filter-name, Filter > Output-Filters > Route-Filter filter-name

Add-Persistence

Description: Specifies the number of seconds that average line utilization (ALU) must persist beyond the Target-Utilization threshold before the MAX TNT adds bandwidth from available channels. When adding bandwidth, the MAX TNT adds the number of channels specified by Increment-Channel-Count.

Usage: Specify an integer from 1 to 300. The default is 5.

Example: set add-persistence=15

Dependencies: When the Seconds-History value is high, Add-Persistence has little effect.

Location: Answer-Defaults > MPP-Answer, Connection station > MPP-Options

Address-Pool

Description: Specifies up to 128 IP address pools from which the MAX TNT can assign a caller an IP address. You can define up to 128 pools in a Connection profile, and up to 50 in a RADIUS user profile. Each pool may contain up to 255 addresses.

Usage: Specify a number from 0 to 128. The default is 0 (zero).

Example: set address-pool=5

Dependencies: If Address-Pool=0 and Assign-Address=Yes, the MAX TNT gets IP addresses from the first defined address pool.

Location: Connection station > IP-Options

Admin-State

Description: A profile that stores the desired state and SNMP interface number of a device. The profile resides in NVRAM, so a physical device keeps the same interface number across system reset or power failures.

When you install the FrameLine card, the MAX TNT creates 20 Admin-State profiles. Ten are associated with the T1 lines, and 10 are associated with the SCA devices that do HDLC framing.

Usage: To make Admin-State the working profile and list its contents, use the Read and List commands. For the Read command, specify a shelf, slot, and item number. Item numbers 1 through 10 identify a T1 line. Item numbers 11 through 20 identify an SCA device on the card. SCA 11 is associated with line 1, SCA 12 with line 2, and so on. For example, to make the Admin-State profile for the SCA device on shelf 1, slot 9 the working profile:

admin> read admin-state {1 9 19}

ADMIN-STATE/{ shelf-1 slot-9 19 } read

admin> list

device-address*={ shelf-1 slot-9 19 }

slot-type=48modem-card

snmp-interface=189

modem-table-index=0

desired-state=admin-state-up

Dependencies: At system startup, the MAX TNT reads the Admin-State profiles. If the addressed device is not present in the system and has been replaced by a device of another type, the MAX TNT deletes the profile associated with the device. The next time the system is reset or power cycled, the old device's SNMP interface number is made available for reassignment. Removing a slot card and leaving the slot empty does not, however, free up interface numbers. If you reinstall the slot card, the MAX TNT reassigns the same interface number.

In addition, removing a slot card and replacing it with a slot card of another type does not immediately free up the old interface numbers. New numbers are assigned to the new slot card, and the old numbers are made available at the next power cycle or system reset.

ADSL-Cap

Description: A profile containing configuration settings for the RADSL card.

Usage: Use the Read and List commands to make ADSL-Cap the working profile and list its contents. For example:

admin> read adsl-cap {1 1 0}

ADSL-CAP/{ shelf-1 slot-1 0 } read

admin> list

name=""

physical-address*={ shelf-1 slot-1 0 }

enabled=no

line-config={ 0 0 static { any-shelf any-slot 0 } }

You can then use the Set command to modify the settings in the profile. To close the profile and save your changes, execute the Write command. For example:

admin> write

ADSL-CAP/{ shelf-1 slot-1 0 } written

See Also: Enabled, Line-Config, Name, Physical-Address

ADSL-Cap-Stat

Description: A profile indicating the status of the RADSL line.

Usage: Use the Read and List commands to make ADSL-Cap-Stat the working profile and list its contents. For example:

admin> read adsl-cap-stat {1 1 0}

ADSL-CAP-STAT/{ shelf-1 slot-1 0 } read

admin> list

physical-address*={ shelf-1 slot-1 0 }

line-state=active

error-count=0

See Also: Error-Count, Line-State, Physical-Address

ADSL-Cap-Statistics

Description: A profile that reports statistics about the RADSL interface.

Usage: Use the Read and List commands to make ADSL-Cap-Statistics the working profile and list its contents. For example:

admin> read adsl-cap-statistics {1 1 0}

ADSL-CAP-STATISTICS/{ shelf-1 slot-1 0 } read

admin> list

physical-address*={ shelf-1 slot-1 0 }

line-up-timer={ 0 0 0 }

rx-signal-present=yes

line-quality=15

up-down-cntr=1

self-test=passed

rs-errors=0

rs-corrected-errors=0

transmit-power=0

rx-attenuation=0

connection-sq=0

hdlc-rx-crc-error-cnt=0

ADSL-Cap-Status

Description: A profile that indicates the status of the RADSL interface.

Usage: Use the Read and List commands to make ADSL-Cap-Status the working profile and list its contents. For example:

admin> read adsl-cap-status {1 1 0}

ADSL-CAP-STATUS/{ shelf-1 slot-1 0 } read

admin> list

physical-address*={ shelf-1 slot-1 0 }

if-group-index=0

unit-type=coe

dev-line-state=startup-handshake

up-stream-rate=784000

down-stream-rate=784000

major-firmware-ver=13

minor-firmware-ver=2

hardware-ver=2

up-stream-constellation=auto

down-stream-constellation=auto

down-stream-operational-baud=0

Advanced-Agent-Enabled

Description: Indicates whether the Advanced MIB is in use. The Advanced MIB is the name of the SNMP MIB previously called the WAN MIB.

Usage: The Advanced-Agent-Enabled setting is read only. Yes indicates that the Advanced MIB is in use. No indicates that the Advanced MIB is not in use.

Example: advanced-agent-enabled=yes

Location: Base

Agent-Mode

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT operates as a foreign agent, a home agent, or both on a tunnel-by-tunnel basis in an Ascend Tunnel Management Protocol (ATMP) configuration.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

Tunnel-Disabled (the default) disables ATMP.
Home-Agent specifies that the MAX TNT operates as a home agent.
Foreign-Agent specifies that the MAX TNT operates as a foreign agent.
Home-And-Foreign-Agent specifies that the MAX TNT operates as both a home agent and a foreign agent.

Example: set agent-mode=foreign-agent

Dependencies: If you change the Agent-Mode setting from its default, the new value does not take effect until you reset the system.

Location: ATMP

Agent-Type

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT reaches the home network as a gateway or a router in an Ascend Tunnel Management Protocol (ATMP) configuration.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

Gateway-Home-Agent (the default) specifies that the home agent delivers tunneled data to the home network without routing. The tunneled data does not bring up a connection to the home network, so the connection between the home agent and the home network must already be up, as in a nailed-up connection.
Router-Home-Agent specifies that the home agent routes tunneled data to the home network.

Example: set agent-type=router-home-agent

Dependencies: You must set Agent-Mode=Home-Agent for the Agent-Type setting to apply.

Location: ATMP

AIM-Enabled

Description: Indicates whether the unit enables Ascend Inverse Multiplexing (AIM).

Usage: The AIM-Enabled setting is read only. Yes indicates that AIM is enabled. No indicates that AIM is not enabled.

Example: aim-enabled=yes

Location: Base

AIS-Receive

Description: Indicates whether the remote end is sending an Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) on the T1 line. The remote end sends an AIS (instead of normal data) to take the line out of service.

Usage: The AIS-Receive setting is read only. True indicates that the remote end is sending an AIS. False indicates that the remote end is not sending an AIS.

Example: ais-receive=true

Location: T1-Stat {shelf-N slot-N N}

See Also: Yellow-Receive

Alarm-Enabled

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT traps alarm events and sends a traps-PDU (Protocol Data Unit) to the SNMP manager. The Ascend Enterprise MIB defines the following alarm events (see the Ascend Enterprise MIB for the most up-to-date information):


Alarm event	Indicates that the MAX TNT unit
coldStart (RFC-1215 trap-type 0)	Is reinitializing itself in such a way that it might alter the configuration of either the SNMP manager or the unit.
warmStart (RFC-1215 trap-type 1)	Is reinitializing itself so that neither the configuration of the SNMP manager nor that of the unit will change.
linkDown (RFC-1215 trap-type 2)	Recognizes a failure in one of the communication links represented in the SNMP manager's configuration.
linkUp (RFC-1215 trap-type 3)	Recognizes that one of the communication links represented in the SNMP manager's configuration has come up.
frDLCIStatusChange (RFC-1315 trap-type 1)	Recognizes that one of the virtual circuits has changed states. The link has been created, invalidated, or toggled between the active and inactive states.
eventTableOverwrite (Ascend trap-type 16)	Detected that a new event has overwritten an unread event. The unit sends this trap only for systems that support Ascend's accounting MIB. Once sent, additional overwrites will not cause another trap to be sent until at least one table's worth of new events has occurred.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is Yes.

Yes specifies that the MAX TNT sends alarm-event traps to the host at Host-Address.
No specifies that the MAX TNT does not send alarm-event traps.

Example: set alarm-enabled=yes

Location: Trap host-name

Allow-As-Client-DNS-Info

Description: Specifies whether the local DNS servers should be made accessible to PPP connections if the client DNS servers are unavailable.

A client DNS configuration defines DNS server addresses that the MAX TNT presents to WAN connections during IPCP negotiation. The client DNS configuration provides a way to protect your local DNS information from WAN users. Client DNS has two levels: a global configuration (in the IP-Global profile) that applies to all PPP connections, and a connection-specific configuration (in a Connection profile). The MAX TNT uses the global client addresses only if none are specified for the particular connection.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes specifies that the MAX TNT makes the local DNS servers accessible to PPP connections if the client DNS servers are unavailable.
No specifies that the MAX TNT does not make local DNS servers accessible to PPP connections if the client DNS servers are unavailable.

Example: set allow-as-client-dns-info=no

Location: IP-Global

Allow-Code

Description: Enables or disables permission to upload code to the MAX TNT system and use the following code-level commands:

Format (to prepare a flash card for use)
Fsck (to check file system on a flash card)

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes grants permission to upload code to the MAX TNT.
No denies permission to upload code to the MAX TNT.

Answer-Defaults

Description: A profile containing system defaults for incoming calls. The MAX TNT uses the values in this profile until a caller passes authentication and the MAX TNT retrieves a copy of the caller's profile. In addition, you can use the Answer-Defaults profile to supply defaults for profiles retrieved from remote authentication servers.

Area

Description: Specifies the OSPF area the connection or interface belongs to.

Usage: Specify an area ID in dotted decimal notation. The default is 0.0.0.0, which represents the backbone network.

Example: set area=0.0.0.1

Location: Connection station > IP-Options > OSPF-Options, IP-Interface {{shelf-N slot-N N} N} > OSPF

Area-Type

Description: Specifies the type of OSPF area the connection or interface belongs to.

If your network is large, then the size of the database, the time required for route computation, and any related network traffic can all become excessive. You can partition an autonomous system (AS) into areas to provide hierarchical routing connected by a backbone.

The backbone area is special and always has the area number 0.0.0.0. Other areas have area numbers that are unique within the AS.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

Normal (the default) specifies that the router maintains information about external routes.
Stub specifies that all external routes are summarized by a default route. A stub area is similar to a regular area, except that the routers do not enter external routes in the area's databases. For an area that has only one exit point, you need not maintain information about external routes.
NSSA specifies an OSPF NSSA.

Example: set area-type=normal

Dependencies: You must set Area-Type consistently on all OSPF routers within the area.

Location: Connection station > IP-Options > OSPF-Options, IP-Interface {{shelf-N slot-N N} N} > OSPF

AS-Boundary-Router

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT performs Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR) calculations.

ASBRs perform calculations related to external routes. Normally, when the MAX TNT imports external routes from RIP (for example, when it establishes a WAN link with a caller that does not support OSPF), it performs the ASBR calculations for those routes. However, you can use the AS-Boundary-Router setting to prevent the MAX TNT from performing ASBR calculations.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is Yes.

Yes specifies that the MAX TNT performs ASBR calculations.
No specifies that the MAX TNT does not perform ASBR calculations.

Example: set as-boundary=router=no

Location: IP-Global > OSPF-Global

See Also: OSPF-Global

ASE-Tag

Description: Specifies the OSPF ASE tag for the link. The tag is attached to each external route.

Usage: Specify a 32-bit hexadecimal number. The default is c0:00:00:00.

Example: set ase-tag=c8000000

Dependencies: The ASE-Tag setting is not used by the OSPF protocol itself. Border area routers can use it to filter a record.

Location: Connection station > IP-Options > OSPF-Options, IP-Interface {{shelf-N slot-N N} N} > OSPF, IP-Route name

ASE-Type

Description: Specifies the OSPF ASE type of the Link-State Advertisement (LSA).

Usage: Specify one of the following settings:

Type-1 (the default) specifies a Type-1 external metric. This metric is expressed in the same units as the link-state metric.
Type-2 specifies a Type-2 external metric. This metric is considered larger than any link-state path. Using a Type-2 external metric assumes that routing between autonomous systems is the major cost of routing a packet. A Type-2 metric eliminates the need for conversion of external costs to internal link-state metrics.

Example: set ase-type=type-1

Location: Connection station > IP-Options > OSPF-Options, IP-Interface {{shelf-N slot-N N} N} > OSPF, IP-Route name

Assign-Address

Example: set atalk-net-start=150

Dependencies: If Atalk-Routing-Enabled=No, Atalk-Router=Atlk-Router-Off, or Atalk-Router=Atlk-Router-Non-Seed, Atalk-Net-Start does not apply.

Location: Atalk-Interface {shelf-N slot-N N}

Atalk-Peer-Mode

Description: Specifies whether the remote site is a dial-in AppleTalk Remote Access (ARA) client or another AppleTalk router.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

Router-Peer (the default) specifies a routed connection. The MAX TNT acquires the remote site's network information during session negotiation.
Dialin-Peer specifies that the MAX TNT negotiates a routing session with the dial-in ARA client by assigning the client a node address on the virtual AppleTalk network defined in the Atalk-Global profile. The client must accept the network number the MAX TNT assigns.

Example: set atalk-peer-mode=dialin-peer

Dependencies: If Atalk-Routing-Enabled=No in the Atalk-Interface profile or AppleTalk-Options subprofile of the Connection profile, or if Enabled=No in the ARA-Answer subprofile, Atalk-Peer-Mode has no effect.

Atalk-Router

Description: Specifies whether the AppleTalk router is a seed router or a nonseed router.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

Atlk-Router-Off (the default) specifies that no AppleTalk router exists.
Atlk-Router-Seed specifies a seed router. A seed router has its own hard-coded network and zone configuration.
Atlk-Router-Non-Seed specifies that the router is not a seed router. A nonseed router acquires its network and zone configuration from another router on the network.

Example: set atalk-router=atlk-router-seed

Dependencies: Consider the following:

If there are other AppleTalk routers on the LAN interface and you set Atalk-Router=Atlk-Router-Seed, you must specify the network range (using Atalk-Net-Start and Atalk-Net-End), zone list (using Atalk-Zone-List), and default zone (using Atalk-Default-Zone). The information you specify must be completely consistent with the corresponding specifications for other AppleTalk routers on the interface.
If you set Atalk-Router=Atlk-Router-Non-Seed, a seed router must be available at startup time, or the MAX TNT cannot come up in AppleTalk routing mode. If the MAX TNT comes up without AppleTalk routing enabled because no seed routers were available at startup, you must reset the system after a seed router is up.
To optimize the process by which a nonseed router acquires a configuration across the network after a system reset or power cycle, you can set the Hint-Net-Hi, Hint-Net-Lo, Hint-Net-Node, and Hint-Zone values to known good information.
If Atalk-Routing-Enabled=No, Atalk-Router does not apply.

Location:

Atalk-Interface {shelf-N slot-N N}

Atalk-Routing-Enabled

Description: Specifies whether AppleTalk routing is enabled:

In the Atalk-Interface profile, Atalk-Routing-Enabled specifies whether AppleTalk routing is enabled on the shelf-controller Ethernet interface.
In the Connection profile, Atalk-Routing-Enabled specifies whether AppleTalk routing is enabled for the connection.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes enables AppleTalk routing.
No disables AppleTalk routing.

Example: set atalk-routing-enabled=yes

Dependencies: Consider the following:

If Atalk-Routing-Enabled=No in the Atalk-Interface profile, or if Enabled=No in the ARA-Answer subprofile, Atalk-Routing-Enabled has no effect in a Connection profile.
AppleTalk routing must be enabled at the system level to enabled intrashelf AppleTalk routing.

Location: External-Auth > Rad-Auth-Client

See Also: Auth-ID-Fail-Return-Busy

Auth-Key

Description: Specifies an authentication key that appears in OSPF and external authentication configurations:

For OSPF configurations, the value of Auth-Key is a 64-bit clear password inserted into the OSPF packet header. It is used by OSPF routers to allow packets into or exclude packets from an area.
For RADIUS, the value is a string of up to 22 characters. Because the MAX TNT can act both as a client to external servers and as a server responding to client commands, you can configure Auth-Key in both the Rad-Auth-Client and Rad-Auth-Server subprofiles.
If the MAX TNT is acting as a TACACS or TACACS+ client, Auth-Key is a password that the MAX TNT supplies to the server.

Location: External-Auth > Rad-Auth-Client

See Also: Rad-Auth-Client

Auth-Server-N (N=1-3)

Description: Specifies the IP address of an external authentication server.

The MAX TNT first tries to connect to server #1. If it receives no response, it tries to connect to server #2. If it still receives no response, it tries server #3. If the MAX TNT connects to a server other than server #1, it continues to use that server until it fails to service requests, even if the first server has come back online.

Usage: Specify an IP address in dotted decimal notation, separating the optional subnet mask value from the address with a forward slash character. The addresses must all point to servers of the same type, as specified by the Auth-Type setting. The default is 0.0.0.0, which indicates that no authentication server exists.

Example: set auth-server-1=10.2.3.4/24

Location: External-Auth > Rad-Auth-Server

See Also: Rad-Serv-Enable

Auth-Src-Port

Description: Identifies the UDP source port to use for external authentication.

Usage: Specify a value from 0 to 65535. The default is 0 (zero), which specifies that the source port is selected from the nonprivileged port range (1024-2000).

Dependencies: The MAX TNT uses the source port number to demultiplex the RADIUS reply packets to the appropriate slot cards. A separate source port is used for each slot card and shelf controller. On the MAX TNT, the actual source port is the value of Auth-Src-Port plus the slot number, where the shelf controller has a slot number of 0 (zero). So, if Auth-Src-Port is set to 1000, packets originating from the shelf controller have a source port value of 1000, while packets originating from slot 6 have a source port value of 1006.

Location: External-Auth > Rad-Auth-Client, External-Auth > Tac-Auth-Client, External-Auth > TacPlus-Auth-Client

Auth-TS-Secure

Description: Acts as a flag to prevent access to the terminal-server interface when the RADIUS Login-Host value is not specified.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is Yes.

Yes specifies that the terminal-server must be secure. If the Login-Host is not specified, the MAX TNT drops the call.
No specifies that if the Login-Host is not specified, the MAX TNT allows the dial-in connection to access the terminal-server interface.

Example: set auth-ts-secure=yes

Location: External-Auth > Rad-Auth-Client

See Also: Rad-Auth-Client

Auth-Timeout

Description: Sets the number of seconds between attempts to reach an external authentication server. The MAX TNT waits the specified number of seconds for a response to a RADIUS or TACACS authentication request. If it does not receive a response within that time, it times out and sends the authentication request to the next authentication server (for example, Auth-Server-2).

Usage: Specify an integer from 1 to 10. The default is 1.

Example: set auth-timeout=5

Dependencies: If Auth-Type=None, Auth-Timeout does not apply.

Auth-Timeout-Time

Description: Specifies the number of seconds that must elapse before the MAX TNT attempts to connect to a backup TACACS+ server.

Usage: Specify the number of seconds. The default is 0 (zero), which specifies that the MAX TNT does not attempt to use a backup TACACS+ server.

Example: set auth-timeout-time=60

Location: External-Auth > TacPlus-Auth-Client

Auth-Type

Description: Specifies the type of external authentication server to access for incoming connections.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

None (the default) disables the use of an authentication server.
TACACS specifies that the MAX TNT accesses a TACACS server. TACACS supports PAP, but not CHAP authentication.
TACACSPlus specifies that the MAX TNT accesses a TACACS+ server. TACACS+ supports PAP, but not CHAP authentication. It also provides more extensive accounting statistics and a higher degree of control than does TACACS authentication.
RADIUS specifies that the MAX TNT accesses a RADIUS server. In a RADIUS query, the MAX TNT provides a user ID and password to the server. If the validation succeeds, the server sends back a complete profile. The profile specifies routing, packet filtering, destination-specific static routes, and usage restrictions for the user. RADIUS supports PAP and CHAP, and terminal-server validation.
RADIUS/Logout is identical to RADIUS, except that when you select RADIUS/Logout, the MAX TNT sends a request to the RADIUS server to initiate logout when the session ends.

Example: set auth-type=radius

Dependencies: If Auth-Type is set to a value other than None, you must specify at least one authentication server address.

Location: External-Auth

See Also: Auth-Server-N (N=1-3)

Authen-Type

Description: Specifies the type of authentication to use for validating OSPF packet exchanges.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

None specifies that routing exchanges are not authenticated. The 64-bit authentication field in the OSPF header may contain data, but it is not examined on packet reception. When you use this setting, the MAX TNT performs a checksum on the entire contents of each OSPF packet (other than the 64-bit authentication field) to ensure against data corruption.
Simple (the default) requires that you specify a 64-bit value for Auth-Key. Each packet sent on a particular network must have the configured value in its OSPF header's 64-bit authentication field. Simple authentication is designed to prevent configuration errors from affecting the OSPF routing database. It is not designed for firewall protection.

Example: set authen-type=simple

Location: Connection station > IP-Options > OSPF-Options, IP-Interface {{shelf-N slot-N N} N} > OSPF

Auto-Logout

Description: Specifies whether or not to log out the current User profile and go back to default privileges upon loss of Data Transmit Ready (DTR) from the serial port.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes specifies that the MAX TNT automatically logs out the current User profile if DTR is lost on the serial port.
No specifies that the current User profile remains logged in.

Example: set auto-logout=yes

Location: Serial {shelf-N slot-N N}

See Also: Idle-Logout, User

Auto-Telnet

Description: Causes the terminal server to interpret an unknown command as the name of a host for a Telnet session.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes specifies that a user can omit the keyword Telnet and specify a hostname in order to initiate a Telnet session.
No specifies that if a user types only a hostname at the terminal-server prompt, the MAX TNT rejects it as an unknown command.

Example: set auto-telnet=yes

Dependencies: When terminal services are disabled, Auto-Telnet does not apply.

Location: Terminal-Server > Terminal-Mode-Configuration > Telnet-Options

Auto-Update

Description: Specifies whether the local DNS table is automatically updated by regular successful DNS queries.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes specifies that when a regular DNS query succeeds, the system makes a lookup on that hostname to the local table. If there is an entry for the hostname, the system replaces the entry's IP address(es) with the query response. Therefore, you can use the Auto-Update setting to build the local table.
No specifies that the contents of the local DNS table are not affected by successful DNS queries.

Example: set auto-update=yes

Dependencies: The DNS-List-Attempt and DNS-List-Size settings affect how the table is updated when Auto-Update=Yes.

Location: IP-Global > DNS-Local-Table

Aux-Send-Password

Description: Specifies the password the MAX TNT sends when it adds channels to an MP+ call that uses PAP-Token-CHAP authentication. The MAX TNT obtains authentication of the first channel of the MP+ call from the user's hand-held security card.

Usage: Enter the same password specified by Ascend-Receive-Secret in the RADIUS user profile for the MAX TNT.

Example: set aux-send-password=Ascend

Dependencies: For Aux-Send-Password to apply, the call must use MP+.

Location: Connection station > MPP-Options

B

Back-To-Back

Description: Indicates whether the E1 line is connected back-to-back with another Ascend unit.

Usage: Specify True or False. False is the default.

True specifies that the E1 line is connected back-to-back with another Ascend unit.
False specifies that the E1 line is not connected back-to-back with another Ascend unit.

Example: set back-to-back=false

Location: E1 {shelf-N slot-N N}

See Also: E1

Backup

Description: Specifies the name of a backup Connection profile for a nailed-up connection. The profile serves as a backup if the remote device goes out of service. It is not intended to provide alternative lines for getting to a single destination.

Usage: Specify the name of a Connection profile. You may enter up to 32 characters. The default is null.

Example: set backup=newyork

Dependencies: Backup applies only when a link is nailed up.

Location: Connection station > Session-Options

Bandwidth-Monitor-Direction

Description: Specifies the direction in which the MAX TNT monitors link utilization for multilink PPP calls.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

None (the default) turns off bandwidth monitoring.
Transmit specifies that the MAX TNT monitors link utilization on transmitted packets only.
Transmit-And-Receive specifies that the MAX TNT monitors link utilization in both directions.

Example: set bandwidth-monitor-direction=none

Location: Answer-Defaults > MPP-Answer, Connection station

Banner

Description: Specifies the terminal-server login banner.

Usage: Specify the banner text. You may enter up to 84 alphanumeric characters. The default is ** Ascend Terminal Server **.

Example: set banner="Welcome to the MAX TNT"

Dependencies: If terminal services are disabled, Banner does not apply.

Location: Terminal-Server > Terminal-Mode-Configuration

Base

Description: A read-only profile that displays the software versions in use, the enabled features, network interfaces, and other system information.

Usage: Use the Get command to display the Base profile values. For example:

admin> get base

shelf-number=1

software-version=1

network-management-enabled=no

advanced-agent-enabled=no

phs-support=no

selectools-enabled=no

tnt-adsl-enabled=no

tnt-sdsl-enabled=no

tnt-idsl-enabled=no

Base-Channel-Count

Description: Specifies the number of channels the MAX TNT uses when setting up a connection. If the session uses MP (RFC 1990), Base-Channel-Count specifies the total number of channels to use for the call. If the session uses MP+, Base-Channel-Count specifies the initial number of channels to use for the call.

Usage: Specify a number from 0 (zero) to the value of Maximum-Channels. The default is 1.

Example: set base-channel-count=3

Dependencies: If the Base-Channel-Count value exceeds the Maximum-Channels value or falls below the Minimum-Channels value, an error results.

Location: Connection station > MP-Options

BER-Receive

Description: Indicates whether the bit-error rate threshold has been reached.

Usage: The BER-Receive setting is read only. True indicates that the threshold has been reached. False indicates that the threshold has not been reached.

Example: ber-receive=true

Location: T1-Stat {shelf-N slot-N N}

Billing-Number

Description: Specifies a telephone number that the MAX TNT uses for billing purposes.

Usage: Specify the billing number provided by the carrier. You may enter up to 24 characters. The default is null.

Example: set billing-number=510-555-1972

Dependencies: Consider the following:

For nailed-up Frame-Relay datalink connections, Billing-Number does not apply.
The MAX TNT uses the value that you specify as a billing suffix or as the calling party number. For T1 robbed-bit lines, the MAX TNT uses the Billing-Number as a suffix appended to each phone number it dials for the call. For T1 PRI lines, the MAX TNT uses the Billing-Number value rather than the phone number ID to identify itself to the answering party.
If you specify a value for Billing-Number, there is no guarantee that the phone company will send it to the answering device.

Location:

Connection station > Telco-Options, Frame-Relay fr-name

BOOTP-Enabled

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT uses BOOTP to get settings and check for a new software load.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes enables the MAX TNT to use BOOTP.
No disables the use of BOOTP.

Example: set bootp-enabled=yes

Location: IP-Global

See Also: SLIP-BOOTP

Bottom-Status

Description: Specifies the default contents of the bottom-right portion of the status window.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

General-Info causes the MAX TNT to display general information and statistics for the system.
Log-Window (the default) causes the MAX TNT to display saved system-event log entries.
Line-Status causes the MAX TNT to display the status of the system telephony interfaces.

Example: set bottom-status=general-info

Location: User name

Buffer-Chars

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT buffers input characters in a terminal-server session, or processes each character as you enter it.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is Yes.

Yes specifies that the MAX TNT buffers input characters for 100 ms.
No specifies that the MAX TNT processes each input character as you enter it.

Example: set buffer-chars=yes

Dependencies: If terminal services are disabled, Buffer-Chars does not apply.

Location: Terminal-Server > Terminal-Mode-Configuration

C

Callback

Description: Enables or disables callback security. When you enable callback security, the MAX TNT hangs up after receiving a call and calls back the calling device by using the Dial-Number value.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes causes the MAX TNT to hang up on a dial-in connection and dial back the device specified in the profile.
No specifies that the MAX TNT does not hang up and call back, but authenticates the connection as usual.

Example: set callback=yes

Dependencies: If you are using nailed-up call types, or if Answer-Originate does not enable outgoing calls, Callback does not apply. In addition, you must specify a value for Dial-Number.

Location: Connection station > Telco-Options

Call-By-Call

Description: In a T1 profile, specifies the Call-By-Call signaling value to set for routing calls from a local device through the MAX TNT to the network. In a Connection profile, specifies the Call-By-Call signaling value for PRI lines.

Usage: Specify a number from 0 to 65535, corresponding to the type of Call-By-Call service in use. The default is 0 (zero), which disables Call-By-Call service.

The following Call-By-Call services are available if the service provider is AT&T:

Called-Number-Type

Description: Specifies the type of phone number entered in the Connection profile or Frame-Relay profile.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

Unknown specifies that the phone number is of an unknown type.
International specifies phone numbers outside the U.S.
National (the default) specifies phone numbers within the U.S.
Local specifies phone numbers within your Centrex group.
Abbrev specifies add-on numbers only.
Network-Specific specifies that the dialed network interprets the phone number.

Example: set called-number-type=international

Dependencies: Called-Number-Type does not apply to nailed-up connections.

Location: Connection station, Frame-Relay fr-name

See Also: Dial-Number, Trunk-Group

CalledNumber

Description: For called-number authentication, specifies the number the remote end called to establish the connection. In many cases, the number will be the same as the Dial-Number, but without a trunk group or dial prefix.

Usage: Specify the called number. The default is null.

Example: set callednumber=5551212

Location: Connection station

See Also: CLID-Auth-Mode

Caller-ID

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT requests the Calling Line ID (CLID) from the switch. This setting applies only when Signaling-Mode=E1-Chinese-Signaling, which requires that you set Caller-ID=Get-Caller-ID for CLID authentication to work.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

No-Caller-ID (the default) specifies that the MAX TNT does not request the CLID from the switch.
Get-Caller-ID specifies that the MAX TNT requests the CLID from the switch.

Example: set caller-id=get-caller-id

Location: E1 {shelf-N slot-N N} > Line-Interface

Call-Filter

Description: Specifies the name of a call filter.

The MAX TNT uses a call filter to determine whether or not a packet should cause the unit to reset the idle timer or place a call. If you apply both a call filter and data filter to a connection, the MAX TNT applies the call filter after applying the data filter. Only those packets that the data filter forwards can reach the call filter.

Usage: Specify the filter name. The default is null, which specifies that the MAX TNT does not apply a call filter.

Example: set call-filter=ignore-bcast

Dependencies: If all channels of a link are nailed up, or if the Filter-Name setting does not specify a call filter, Call-Filter does not apply.

Location: Answer-Defaults > Session-Info, Connection station > Session-Options

Call-Info

Description: Specifies whether, at the time an authenticated call ends, the MAX TNT reports to Syslog the following information about the call:

Station name
Calling phone number
Called phone number
Encapsulation protocol
Data rate (in bits per second)
Progress code or disconnect reason
Number of seconds before authentication
Number of bytes or packets received during authentication
Number of bytes or packets sent during authentication
Length of session (in seconds)
Number of bytes or packets received during the session
Number of bytes or packets sent during the session

A one-line Syslog message contains information about the terminated call. The information also appears in the connection status window, and is logged as a message at level INFO. For example:

"Conn=("cjones-p50" 5106785291->? PPP 56000 60/185) \

Auth=(3 347/12 332/13) \

Sess=(1 643/18 644/19), Terminated"

If some of the information is not available, that field is displayed as either a question-mark (for strings) or a zero (for numerals).

Usage: To specify that the MAX TNT reports the information to Syslog, specify End-Of-Call. To specify that the MAX TNT does not report the information, specify None (the default).

Dependencies: Use Call-Info only for diagnosing session problems. The reports to Syslog rely on the UDP protocol, which does not guarantee delivery. Therefore, you should not use Call-Info for billing purposes.

Location: Log

Call-Log-Enable

Description: Enables or disables call logging.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. No is the default.

Yes enables call logging.
No disables call logging.

Example: set call-log-enable=yes

Dependencies: If you set Call-Log-Enable=Yes, you must specify the IP address of at least one call-log host for the Call-Log-Host-N setting.

Location: Call-Logging

Call-Logging

Description: A profile that enables you to configure the MAX TNT to communicate with one or more call-log hosts.

Call logging is a RADIUS-accounting based feature for logging call information from the MAX TNT. Its main purpose is to duplicate accounting information for sites that wish to keep accounting records separate from call-logging details used to manage resources or troubleshoot call problems.

Once you have configured call logging, the MAX TNT sends Start Session, Stop Session, and Failure-to-Start Session packets to a call-log host. A call-log host is a local host that supports the RADIUS accounting protocol and is configured properly to communicate with the MAX TNT (for example, a RADIUS accounting server or a host running NavisAccess). The call-log information is sent independently of RADIUS accounting records. If both call logging and RADIUS accounting are in use, the information is sent in parallel.

Usage: Use the Read and List commands to make Call-Logging the working profile and list its contents. For example:

admin> read call-logging

CALL-LOGGING read

admin> list

CALL-LOGGING

call-log-enable=no

call-log-host-1=0.0.0.0

call-log-host-2=0.0.0.0

call-log-host-3=0.0.0.0

call-log-port=0

call-log-key=""

call-log-timeout=0

call-log-id-base=acct-base-10

call-log-reset-time=0

call-log-stop-only=yes

call-log-limit-retry=0

You can then use the Set command to modify the settings in the profile. To close the profile and save your changes:

admin> write

CALL-LOGGING written

Call-Log-Host-N

Description: Specifies the IP address of a call-log host.

The MAX TNT first tries to connect to host #1. If it receives no response, it tries to connect to host #2. If it still receives no response, it tries host #3. If the MAX TNT connects to a host other than host #1, it continues to use that host until it fails to service requests, even if the first host has come back online.

Usage: Specify an IP address in dotted decimal notation. The default is 0.0.0.0.

Example: set call-log-host-1=10.1.2.3

Dependencies: If Call-Log-Enable=No, Call-Log-Host-N does not apply.

Location: Call-Logging

Call-Log-ID-Base

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT presents a session ID to the call-log host in base 10 or base 16.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

Acct-Base-10 (the default) specifies a decimal base.
Acct-Base-16 specifies a hexadecimal base.

Example: set call-log-id-base=acct-base-16

Dependencies: Consider the following:

If Call-Log-Enable=No, Call-Log-ID-Base does not apply.
Changing the value of Call-Log-ID-Base while call-logging sessions are active results in inconsistent reporting between the Start and Stop records.

Location:

Call-Logging

Call-Log-Key

Description: Specifies a shared secret that enables the call-logging host to recognize data from the MAX TNT. A shared secret acts as a password between the MAX TNT and the call-log host.

Usage: Specify the text of the shared secret. The value you specify must match the value configured on the call-log-host. The default is null.

Example: set call-log-key=Ascend

Dependencies: If Call-Log-Enable=No, Call-Log-Key does not apply.

Location: Call-Logging

Call-Log-Limit-Retry

Description: Specifies the maximum number of retries for call-logging packets.

When the MAX TNT is configured for call logging, it sends Start and Stop packets to the call-log host in order to record connections. If the host does not acknowledge a packet within the number of seconds you specify for Call-Log-Timeout, the MAX TNT tries again, resending the packet until the host responds, or dropping the packet if the queue of packets to be resent is full. You can limit the number of retries by setting a maximum.

Usage: To set the maximum number of retries for Start and Stop packets, set Call-Log-Limit-Retry to a value greater than 0 (zero). A value of 0 (the default) indicates an unlimited number of retries.

Note: The MAX TNT always makes at least one attempt. For example, if you set the number of retries to 10, the MAX TNT makes 11 attempts: the original attempt plus 10 retries.

Example: set call-log-limit-retry=10

Location: Call-Logging

Call-Log-Port

Description: Specifies the UDP destination port to use for call-logging requests.

Usage: Specify a UDP port number from 1 to 32767. The value must match the port number configured on the call-log host. The default of 0 (zero) indicates any UDP port.

Example: set call-log-port=1500

Dependencies: If Call-Log-Enable=No, Call-Log-Port does not apply.

Location: Call-Logging

Call-Log-Reset-Time

Description: Specifies the number of seconds that must elapse before the MAX TNT returns to using the primary call-log host (Call-Log-Host-1).

Usage: Specify the number of seconds. The default is 0 (zero), which specifies that the MAX TNT does not return to using the primary call-log host.

Example: set call-log-reset-time=60

Dependencies: For Call-Log-Reset-Time to apply, you must set Call-Log-Enable=Yes and specify at least one value for Call-Log-Host-N.

Location: Call-Logging

Usage: Call-Log-Enable, Call-Log-Host-N, Call-Log-ID-Base, Call-Log-Key, Call-Log-Limit-Retry, Call-Log-Port, Call-Log-Stop-Only, Call-Log-Timeout

Call-Log-Stop-Only

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT should send a Stop packet that does not contain a user name. (At times, the MAX TNT can send a Stop packet to the call-log host without having sent a Start packet. Such a Stop packet has no user name.)

Usage: Specify Yes or No. Yes is the default.

Yes specifies that the MAX TNT should send a Stop packet even if it does not contain a user name.
No specifies that the MAX TNT should not send a Stop packet that does not contain a user name.

Example: set call-log-stop-only=no

Location: Call-Logging

Call-Log-Timeout

Description: Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) that the MAX TNT waits for a response to a call-logging request.

If it does not receive a response within the specified time, the MAX TNT sends the request to the next host specified by Call-Log-Host-N. If all call-logging hosts are busy, the MAX TNT stores the request and tries again at a later time. It can queue up to 154 requests.

Usage: Specify an integer from 1 to 10. The default is 0 (zero), which disables the timer.

Example: set call-log-timeout=5

Dependencies: If Call-Log-Enable=No, Call-Log-Timeout does not apply.

Location: Call-Logging

Call-Route

Description: A profile that the MAX TNT uses to control the routing of incoming and outgoing calls. Every possible destination within a MAX TNT system has one or more profiles of this type.

Usage: Use the Read and List commands to make Call-Route the working profile and list its contents. For example:

admin> read call-route { { {1 9 33} 0} 0}

CALL-ROUTE/{ { { shelf-1 slot-9 33 } 0 } 0 } read

admin> list

index*={ { { shelf-1 slot-9 33 } 0 } 0 }

trunk-group=0

phone-number=""

preferred-source={ { shelf-1 slot-13 0 } 0 }

call-route-type=any-call-type

You can then use the Set command to modify the settings in the profile. To close the profile and save your changes:

admin> write

CALL-ROUTE/{ { { shelf-1 slot-9 33 } 0 } 0 } written

See Also: Call-Route-Type, Index, Phone-Number, Preferred-Source, Trunk-Group

Call-Route-Info

Description: A deprecated setting that specifies a device to which the MAX TNT should route calls received on a particular channel.

As with the call routing method used by Ascend products older than the MAX TNT, Call-Route-Info indicates "route any call received on this channel to the specified device." This value is a mirror-image of the Preferred-Source setting in a Call-Route profile, which indicates "route any call received on the specified T1 channel to me (the index address)."

The preferred method of call routing is to use the Call-Route profile. However, although Call-Route-Info is deprecated, any nondefault setting you specify for it takes precedence over a Preferred-Source specification in a Call-Route profile.

Usage: Specify a device address within the MAX TNT. The default indicates any device and passes the responsibility for call routing to Call-Route profiles. Ascend recommends that you accept the default.

Example: set call-route-info={ 1 6 48 }

Location: E1 {shelf-N slot-N N} > Line-Interface > Channel-Config N, SWAN {shelf-N slot-N N} > Line-Config, T1 {shelf-N slot-N N} > Line-Interface > Channel-Config N

Call-Route-Type

Description: Specifies the type of call that the MAX TNT can route to a host device.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

Any-Call-Type specifies that the MAX TNT can route any type of call to a host device.
Voice-Call-Type specifies that the MAX TNT can route voice bearer calls, not including 3.1 Khz audio, to a host device.
Digital-Call-Type specifies that the MAX TNT can route general digital calls, including 3.1 Khz audio bearer channel calls, to a host device. As far as the MAX TNT is concerned, 3.1 Khz audio calls are voice-bearer. The MAX TNT routes them to a modem, not an HDLC controller.
Trunk-Call-Type (trunk calls) specifies that the MAX TNT routes calls to a trunk device.

Example: set call-route-type=any-call-type

Location: Call-Route {{{shelf-N slot-N N} N} N}

Call-Routing-Sort-Method

Description: Specifies whether to use the old slot-first call-routing sort method or the new item-first sort method for analog calls.

When the system resets, the MAX TNT creates the call-routing database by sorting the list of all installed devices. During active use, the MAX TNT resorts the list on the basis of system activity, but the initial sort order determines the initial order in which the MAX TNT uses host cards. In previous software releases, the order in which the MAX TNT sorted device addresses caused all channels of a host card to be grouped together, forcing a single card to be completely full before the MAX TNT started using another card.

The old sort-order default processed the components of device addresses in the following order:

shelf slot item logical-item

The current sort-order default provides load balancing across cards by ordering device-address components in the following manner:

item shelf slot logical-item

This sort order causes the channels of different cards to be interspersed, resulting in load balancing across all cards, even after a system reset.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

Item-First (the default) specifies that the MAX TNT sorts by item number, then shelf, and then slot number. This setting tends to distribute incoming calls evenly across multiple host cards.
Slot-First specifies that the MAX TNT sorts by shelf and slot number, and then by item number. This setting tends to concentrate incoming calls on one host card at a time.

Example: set call-routing-sort-method=slot-first

Location: System

Call-Type

Description: Specifies nailed-up-channel usage for a connection.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

Off (the default) specifies that the connection does not use any nailed-up channels.
FT1 specifies that the connection uses only nailed-up channels.
FT1-MPP specifies that the MAX TNT might augment nailed-up channels with switched channels for increased bandwidth during an MP+ call.
FT1-BO specifies that a nailed-up connection can use switched channels, both for additional bandwidth and for a backup method of reaching the site if the nailed-up connection is down.

Example: set call-type=off

Dependencies: If Nailed-Groups is set to 0 (zero), Call-Type does not apply.

Location: Connection station > Telco-Options

Carrier-Established

Description: Indicates whether error conditions exist on the T1 line.

Usage: The Carrier-Established setting is read only. True indicates that no error conditions exist. False indicates error conditions on the line.

Example: carrier-established=true

Location: T1-Stat {shelf-N slot-N N}

Cell-Level

Description: Specifies the modem cellular-communications transmit and receive level.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

-18-dB-Cell-Level (the default)
-17-dB-Cell-Level

-14-dB-Cell-Level
-13-dB-Cell-Level
-12-dB-Cell-Level
-11-dB-Cell-Level
-10-dB-Cell-Level

Example: set cell-level=-18-db-cell-level

Dependencies: If terminal services are disabled, Cell-Level does not apply.

Location: Terminal-Server > Modem-Configuration

Cell-Mode-First

Description: Determines whether the MAX TNT attempts a cellular connection before a land-based connection.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes specifies that the MAX TNT attempts a cellular connection first.
No specifies that the MAX TNT attempts a land-based connection before attempting a cellular connection.

Example: set cell-mode-first=no

Dependencies: If terminal services are disabled, Cell-Mode-First does not apply.

Location: Terminal-Server > Modem-Configuration

Channel-Config

Description: A subprofile containing channel-configuration subprofiles, one for each channel of a T1 or E1 line.

Usage: With a T1 or E1 profile as the working profile, enter list line channel to display the Channel-Config subprofile. For example:

admin> list line channel

channel-config[1]={ switched-channel 9 "" {any-shelf any-slot 0 }0}

channel-config[2]={ switched-channel 9 "" {any-shelf any-slot 0 }0}

channel-config[3]={ switched-channel 9 "" {any-shelf any-slot 0 }0}

Channel-Config N

Description: A subprofile of the Channel-Config subprofile. Channel-Config N contains configuration options for an individual channel of an E1, ISDN BRI, or T1 line. The index for each subprofile is a channel number.

Usage: With an IDSL, T1, or E1 profile as the working profile, use the List command to display the configuration for one of the channels.

For example, to display the configuration for channel 1 in the T1 profile:

admin> list line channel 1

channel-usage=switched-channel

trunk-group=9

phone-number=""

call-route-info={ any-shelf any-slot 0 }

nailed-group=0

You can then use the Set command to modify the settings in the subprofile. To close the subprofile and return to a higher context in the working profile:

IDSL {shelf-N slot-N N} > Line-Interface > Channel-Config,

T1 {shelf-N slot-N N} > Line-Interface > Channel-Config

Channel-State

Description: An array listing the state of each channel of a T1 or ISDN BRI line. The index to each array component is a channel number (1-24 for T1, 1-2 for ISDN BRI).

Usage: Use the List command to display the array. In the following example, T1-Stat is the working profile:

admin> list channel

channel-state[1]=idle

channel-state[2]=idle

channel-state[3]=dialing

...

In the following example, IDSL-Stat is the working profile:

admin> list channel

channel-state[1]=idle

channel-state[2]=idle

To close the array and return to a higher context in the profile:

admin> list ..

Location:

IDSL-Stat {shelf-N slot-N N}, T1-Stat {shelf-N slot-N N}

Channel-State N

Description: Specifies the individual state of a channel in a T1 or ISDN BRI line. The index to each component is a channel number (1-24 for T1, 1-2 for ISDN BRI).

Channel-Usage

Description: Specifies the usage for a channel.

Usage: For a T1, E1, or ISDN BRI channel, specify one of the following values:

Unused-Channel specifies that the channel is unused. The MAX TNT sends the single idle code defined for the channel.
Switched-Channel (the default) specifies a switched channel, which uses either robbed-bit or D-channel signaling.
Nailed-64-Channel specifies a clear-channel 64K circuit. It does not require any setup information.

T1 and E1 channels also support the D-Channel setting, which specifies a channel used for ISDN D-channel signaling. For T1, the D channel is channel 24. For E1, it is channel 16.

Only T1 channels support the following additional usage values:

NFAS-Primary-D-Channel specifies the primary D channel for a group of T1 lines with the same NFAS ID. You must set all other channels on the NFAS line to Switched-Channel, Nailed-64-Channel, or Unused-Channel. Within an NFAS group, you should configure only one line to provide the primary ISDN D channel.
NFAS-Secondary-D-Channel specifies the secondary D channel for a group of T1 lines with the same NFAS ID. You must set all other channels on the NFAS line to Switched-Channel, Nailed-64-Channel, or Unused-Channel. Within an NFAS group, you should configure only one line to provide the secondary (backup) D channel.

Example: set channel-usage=switched-channel

Dependencies: Channel usage may be different from the usage specified for the line itself. For example, the line might specify switched usage, while individual channels within that line might specify nailed-up usage.

Location: E1 {shelf-N slot-N N} > Line-Interface > Channel-Config N, IDSL {shelf-N slot-N N} > Line-Interface > Channel-Config N, T1 {shelf-N slot-N N} > Line-Interface > Channel-Config N

Circuit-Name

Description: Specifies a name for a Data Link Connection Indicator (DLCI) endpoint. When combined as a circuit, two DLCI endpoints act as a tunnel. Data received on one DLCI bypasses the Ascend router and is sent out on the other DLCI.

A Frame Relay circuit is a Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) segment that consists of two DLCI endpoints and possibly two Frame Relay profiles. It requires two and only two DLCI numbers. If the circuit has only one DLCI number, data is dropped. If more than two are defined, only two are used. Circuits are defined in two Connection profiles or RADIUS user profiles. Data coming in on the DLCI configured in the first profile is switched to the DLCI configured in the second one.

Usage: Specify a name for the circuit. You may enter up to 16 characters. The other endpoint of the PVC must specify the same name in its circuit configuration.

Example: set circuit-name=circuit-1

Dependencies: If FR-Direct-Enabled=Yes, Circuit-Name does not apply. It applies only to gateway or circuit connections.

Location: Connection station > FR-Options

Clear-Call

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT clears a dial-in connection when an interactive Telnet, Rlogin, or TCP session terminates.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes specifies that the MAX TNT clears a dial-in connection when an interactive Telnet, Rlogin, or TCP session terminates.
No specifies that the MAX TNT does not clear a dial-in connection when an interactive session terminates. Instead, the MAX TNT returns the user to the terminal-server menu.

Example: set clear-call=yes

Dependencies: If terminal services are disabled, Clear-Call does not apply.

Location: Terminal-Server > Terminal-Mode-Configuration

Clear-Screen

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT clears the screen when a terminal-server session begins.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is Yes.

Yes specifies that the MAX TNT clears the screen of all status messages and echoed scripts when it establishes a terminal-server session.
No specifies that the MAX TNT establishes the terminal-server session without clearing the screen.

Example: set clear-screen=yes

Dependencies: If terminal services are disabled, Clear-Screen does not apply.

Location: Terminal-Server > Terminal-Mode-Configuration

CLID

Description: Specifies the phone number of the remote station (the calling line ID). If present for an incoming call, the MAX TNT can use the CLID value for CLID authentication before answering the call.

Usage: Specify the calling party's phone number. You may enter up to 24 characters. The default is null.

Example: set clid=510-555-1213

Location: Connection station

See Also: CLID-Auth-Mode

CLID-Auth-Mode

Description: Specifies how the MAX TNT uses the telco-provided Calling-Line ID (CLID) for authenticating incoming calls.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

Ignore (the default) specifies that the MAX TNT does not require a matching ID from incoming calls.
CLID-Prefer specifies that the MAX TNT uses the CLID, if available, to authenticate the call. If the CLID is not available, or if the CLID does not match the calling number specified in a local Connection profile or RADIUS user profile, the MAX TNT uses the type of authentication specified by the Answer-Defaults profile.
CLID-Require specifies that the MAX TNT must receive a CLID from the incoming call, and the CLID must match the calling number specified in a local Connection profile or RADIUS user profile. If the MAX TNT does not receive a CLID, or does not find a matching number in a profile, the MAX TNT does not answer the call. A matching RADIUS user profile can require name and password authentication after CLID authentication by setting Ascend-Require-Auth=Require-Auth.
CLID-Fallback specifies that the MAX TNT must receive a CLID in the incoming call. Otherwise, the MAX TNT does not answer the call. If the CLID matches a calling number specified in a local Connection profile or RADIUS user profile, the MAX TNT authenticates the call with the CLID. If the MAX TNT does not receive a response from the RADIUS server, it uses the authentication configured in the Answer-Defaults profile.
DNIS-Require specifies that the called number must match the number specified in a local Connection profile or RADIUS user profile. If the MAX TNT does not find a matching number in a profile, the MAX TNT does not answer the call. You can configure a matching RADIUS user profile to require name and password authentication after called-number authentication by setting Ascend-Require-Auth=Require-Auth.
DNIS-Pref specifies that if the called number does not match the number specified in a local Connection profile or RADIUS user profile, the MAX TNT uses the type of authentication specified by the Answer-Defaults profile.

Example: set clid-auth-mode=dnis-pref

Location: Answer-Defaults

Client-Default-Gateway

Description: Specifies the default gateway to use for traffic from this connection if no specific route appears in the IP routing table.

Usage: Specify an IP address in dotted decimal notation. The default is 0.0.0.0, which causes the system to use the Default route.

Example: set client-default-gateway=10.207.23.13

Location: Connection station > IP-Options

Client-DNS-Addr-Assign

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT presents client DNS server addresses while the connection is being negotiated.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes specifies that the MAX TNT makes the client DNS server addresses available to the connection.
No specifies that MAX TNT makes the client DNS server addresses unavailable.

Example: set client-dns-addr-assign=no

Location: Connection station > IP-Options

Client-DNS-Primary-Addr

Description: Specifies a primary DNS server address to send to a client that is connecting to the MAX TNT.

A client configuration defines DNS servers that the MAX TNT presents to WAN connections during IPCP negotiation. These servers provide a way to protect your local DNS information from WAN users. Client DNS has two levels: a global configuration that applies to all PPP connections, and a connection-specific configuration. The Client-DNS-Primary-Addr setting applies to the connection-specific level.

The MAX TNT uses the global client addresses only if the Connection profile specifies no DNS server addresses. You can also choose to present your local DNS servers to clients if no other servers are defined or available.

Usage: Specify the IP address of the primary DNS server for the connection. Separate the optional subnet mask from the address by using a forward slash. The default is 0.0.0.0/0, which specifies that no primary DNS server is available for the connection.

Example: set client-dns-primary-addr=10.1.2.3/24

Dependencies: If Client-DNS-Addr-Assign=No, Client-DNS-Primary-Addr does not apply.

Location: Connection station > IP-Options

Client-DNS-Secondary-Addr

Description: Specifies a secondary DNS server address to send to a client that is connecting to the MAX TNT. The MAX TNT presents this server address only if the server specified by Client-DNS-Primary-Addr is inaccessible.

Usage: Specify the IP address of the secondary DNS server for the connection. Separate the optional subnet mask from the address by entering a forward slash. The default is 0.0.0.0/0, which specifies that no secondary DNS server is available for the connection.

Example: set client-dns-secondary-addr=10.5.6.7/24

Dependencies: If Client-DNS-Addr-Assign=No, Client-DNS-Secondary-Addr does not apply.

Location: Connection station > IP-Options

Client-Primary-DNS-Server

Description: Specifies a primary DNS server address to send to a client that is connecting to the MAX TNT.

Client DNS has two levels: a global configuration that applies to all PPP connections, and a connection-specific configuration. The Client-Primary-DNS-Server setting defines the global level. The MAX TNT uses the global client addresses only if the Connection profile specifies no DNS server addresses. You can also choose to present your local DNS servers to clients if no other servers are defined or available.

Usage: Specify the IP address of a DNS server to use for all connections that do not have a defined DNS server. Separate the optional subnet mask from the address by entering a forward slash. The default is 0.0.0.0/0, which specifies that no primary DNS server is available on a global level.

Example: set client-primary-dns-server=10.9.8.7/24

Location: IP-Global

Client-Secondary-DNS-Server

Description: Specifies a secondary DNS server address to send to any client connecting to the MAX TNT.

Usage: Specify the IP address of a secondary DNS server to use for all connections that do not have a DNS server defined. Separate the optional subnet mask from the address by entering a forward slash. The default is 0.0.0.0/0, which specifies that no secondary DNS server is available on a global level.

Example: set client-secondary-dns-server=10.9.8.3/24

Location: IP-Global

Clock-Priority

Description: Assigns a clock priority to a T1 or E1 line. When multiple lines are eligible to be the clock source for synchronous transmissions, the MAX TNT uses the value you specify to select a line as the master clock source. If multiple lines are eligible to be the clock source, and each line has an equal Clock-Priority value, the MAX TNT chooses a source at random.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

High-Priority specifies the highest priority. The MAX TNT chooses a line with this priority setting as the clock source over other lines with a lower priority. If more than one line has the highest priority, the first available line becomes the clock source.
Middle-Priority specifies the second priority. The MAX TNT chooses a line with this priority setting if every line with a High-Priority setting is unavailable. If more than one line has a Middle-Priority setting, the first available Middle-Priority line becomes the clock source.
Low-Priority specifies the lowest priority. The MAX TNT chooses a line with this priority only if every line with a higher priority setting is unavailable. If more than one line has a Low-Priority setting, the first available Low-Priority line becomes the clock source.

Once the MAX TNT chooses a line as the clock source, it uses that line until the line becomes unavailable, or a until a higher-priority source becomes available.

Example: set clock-priority=middle-priority

Location: E1 {shelf-N slot-N N} > Line-Interface, T1 {shelf-N slot-N N} > Line-Interface

Clock-Source

Description: Specifies whether the MAX TNT can use the T1 or E1 line as the master clock source for synchronous connections.

The entire multishelf MAX TNT system uses a single PLL synchronous clock source. The MAX TNT chooses the clock source from lines configured with Clock-Source set to Eligible. If there are no eligible external sources, the system uses an internal clock generated from the master shelf-controller.

You can use the Clock-Source diagnostic command to determine the current master clock source. If you execute the command on the shelf-controller, the output tells which slot (if any) is the clock source. If you execute the command on a T1 or E1 card, the output tells which line is the clock source.

Usage: Specify one of the following values:

Eligible (the default) specifies that the MAX TNT can use the line as the master clock source.
Not-Eligible specifies that the MAX TNT cannot use the line as the master clock source.

Example: set clock-source=eligible

Location: E1 {shelf-N slot-N N} > Line-Interface, T1 {shelf-N slot-N N} > Line-Interface

Community-Name

Description: Specifies the SNMP community name associated with SNMP PDUs (Protocol Data Units). The string you specify becomes a password that the MAX TNT sends to the SNMP manager when an SNMP trap event occurs. The password authenticates the sender identified by Host-Address.

Usage: Specify the community name. You may enter up to 31 characters. The default is public.

Example: set community-name=Ascend

Location: Trap host-name

Comp-Neq

Description: Specifies the type of comparison to make between a packet's contents and the Value specified for a filter.

Usage: Specify Yes or No. The default is No.

Yes specifies that the comparison succeeds when the values are not equal.
No specifies that the comparison succeeds when the values are equal.

Example: set comp-neq=no

Dependencies: Comp-Neq applies only when Type=Generic-Filter.

Location: Filter filter-name > Input-Filters > Gen-Filter, Filter filter-name > Output-Filters > Gen-Filter

Connection

Description: A profile containing connection-specific information, including authentication settings, compression values, filter specifications, and telco options.

The MAX TNT uses the settings in the Answer-Defaults profile to answer a call and determine whether to attempt to build a connection. It then looks for a Connection profile or RADIUS user profile.

Usage: Use the Read and List commands to create a new Connection profile and list its contents. For example:

admin> read conn newyork

CONNECTION/newyork read

admin> list

station*=newyork

active=yes

encapsulation-protocol=mpp

called-number-type=national

dial-number=""

clid=""

ip-options={ yes yes 10.122.99.1/24 0.0.0.0/0 7 100 255 no no 0 0.0.0+

ipx-options={ no router-peer both both no 00:00:00:00 00:00:00:00: +

session-options={ "" "" no 120 no-idle 120 "" 0}

telco-options={ ans-and-orig no off 1 no no 56k-restricted 0 "" "" no+

ppp-options={ "" "" stac 1524 no 600 600 }

mp-options={ 1 1 2 }

mpp-options={ "" quadratic transmit 1 1 15 5 10 70 }

fr-options={ frlink 16 "" no "" 16 }

tcp-clear-options={ "" 0 no "" 256 20 }

ara-options={ "" 0 }

appletalk-options={ no "" 0 0 peer-router }

usrRad-options={ global 0.0.0.0 1646 "" 1 acct-base-10 }

calledNumber=""

framed-only=no

tunnel-options={ disabled 0 "" "" 5150 "" "" }

You can then use the Set command to modify the settings in the profile. To close the profile and save your changes:

admin> write

CONNECTION/newyork written

Connection-SQ

Description: Indicates the signal quality (SQ) reading.

Usage: The Connection-SQ value is read only.

Dependencies: If the difference between the Line-Quality value and the Connection-SQ value is greater than 6dB (for 22 seconds or more), the MAX TNT disconnects the line. This situation occurs when a line becomes open or the remote unit loses power.

Location: ADSL-Cap-Statistics {shelf-N slot-N N}

Contact

Description: Specifies the person or department to contact for reporting error conditions. The Contact value is SNMP readable and settable.

Usage: Specify the name of a contact person or department. You may enter up to 80 characters. The default is null.

Example: set contact=rchu

Location: SNMP

See Also: Location

Cost

Description: Specifies the cost of an OSPF link. The lower the cost, the more likely OSPF will use the interface to forward data traffic.

Usage: Specify a number greater than 0 and less than 16777215. The default is 1 on the Ethernet interface, or 10 on a WAN link.

With the exception of links to stub networks, the output cost must always be nonzero. A link with a cost of 0xFFFFFF (16777215) is considered nonoperational.

Dependencies: In a static route, interpretation of the Cost value depends on the type of external metric set by ASE-Type. If the MAX TNT is advertising Type 1 metrics, OSPF can use the specified number as the cost of the route. Type 2 external metrics are an order of magnitude larger. Any Type 2 metric is considered greater than the cost of any path internal to the AS.

Example: set cost=50

Location: Connection station > IP-Options > OSPF-Options, IP-Interface {{shelf-N slot-N N} N} > OSPF, IP-Route name

Countries-Enabled

Description: Contains a bit set identifying the enabled countries.

Usage: The Countries-Enabled setting is read only.

Example: countries-enabled=0

Location: Base

CSU-Build-Out

Description: Specifies the line buildout value for T1 lines with an internal Channel Service Unit (CSU). The buildout value is the amount of attenuation the MAX TNT should apply to the line's network interface in order to match the cable length from the MAX TNT to the next repeater.

Attenuation is a measure of the power lost on a transmission line or on a portion of that line. When you specify a buildout value, the MAX TNT applies an attenuator to the T1 line, reducing the line's power. Repeaters boost the signal on a T1 line, and can make the signal too strong. If the MAX TNT is too close to a repeater, you need to add some attenuation.

Usage: After checking with your carrier to determine the correct value, specify one of the following decibel values:

0-dB (the default)
7.5-dB
15-dB
22.5-dB

Example: set csu-build-out=0-db

Dependencies: CSU-Build-Out applies only if the T1 line has an internal CSU.

Location: T1 {shelf-N slot-N N} > Line-Interface

Current-State

Description: Indicates the current operational state of the slot.

Usage: The Current-State value is read only. It can have one of the following values:

State

Description

Oper-State-Down

The slot is in a nonoperational state.

Oper-State-Up

The slot is in normal operations mode.

Oper-State-Diag

The slot is in diagnostics mode.

Oper-State-Dump

The slot is dumping its memory.

Oper-State-Pend

While the slot is no longer down, it is not yet ready for normal operation. This value denotes a transitional state in which additional shelf-to-slot communications are required to make the slot fully operational.

Oper-State-Post indicates

The slot is running a self-test.

Oper-State-None

The slot is empty.
