For details on configuring a BOD link, refer to the section Configuring a Bandwidth on

(24)

2.4 Configuring a WAN Link for Conditioned Activation

WAN link activation can be conditioned by the presence of active modem signals on a user port that sends data via this link.

• The user port Protocol must be set to HDLC, DDCMP, T-ASYNC, R-ASYNC, BSC, COP or PASSTHRU

• For a DCE connection, the DCD signal must be present. • For a DTE connection, the DTR signal must be present.

Bring the link up by activating the modem signals on the attached user equipment.

• When the NetPerformer detects the modem signals, it immediately activates the

link required to transmit the data to its destination.

• When you deactivate the modem signals, the NetPerformer responds by

disconnecting the link.

A conditioned link is configured with the PORT or SLOT submenu of the SETUP command, in much the same way as for a dedicated WAN link (see Figure 2-2).

► To configure a port or channel as a conditioned link: 1. Set the Protocol to PVCR

2. Set the Mode to WAIT USER

• Compression

• Remote unit name.

These counters represent the number of errors that have occurred on the various transmission channels:

• Compressor: The number of times that the channel’s compression dictionary

detected an error. See also the next section.

• Overflow: The number of times that the channel discarded a cell because its

buffer was full.

• Abort: The number of times that the reception of a frame terminated abnormally. • Sequence: The number of times that frame reception failed because one or

more blocks were missing from the frame sequence.

• Restart: The number of times that the channel’s compression dictionary had to

4.2 Displaying and Setting the System Time

It is extremely important to maintain the proper date and time on the NetPerformer unit to avoid file management problems, particularly when uploading a new firmware version.

4.2.1 Displaying the Time

To view the current system date and time, use the Display Time (DT) command.

► To view the current system time on the NetPerformer unit: • Enter DT at the main console prompt.

SDM-9230>DT DISPLAY TIME

Time> THU 2003/09/04 16:24:04

Caution

If the system date and time are incorrect, a new firmware version may be interpreted as an older version.

4.2.2 Setting the Time

To change the system date and time, use the Set Time (ST) command.

► To set the system time:

1. Enter ST at the main console prompt.

2. Enter the new value of each parameter after the parameter prompt.

3. To confirm the time change, enter YES at the Accept new time? prompt.

SDM-9230>ST SET TIME
