Introduction

You may configure the access server by using its internal HTTP/HTML Administration Pages. However, to

enter into the HTTP/HTML pages, you must first define the LAN Address Technique, LAN IP Address, and

LAN Subnet Mask for the access server. If you have not done so, please refer to the Getting Started Guide that

came with your access server.

Logging into the HTTP/HTML Administration Pages

To log into the HTTP/HTML Administration pages, you must enter the 4-octet Internet Protocol (IP) (for

example, http://your.server.ip.address) address as the Universal Resource Locator (URL) into a World-Wide Web

(WWW) browser. After you enter the IP address, the access server will ask for your user name and password as

shown in figure 1.

( ':+' , ,

Your access server will accept the following default administrative passwords:

• superuser—this password carries full permission to change and view any parameters in the access server

• monitor—this password allows full viewing of any non-password oriented variables.

Note

For security reasons, we recommend that you change these passwords

immediately after initial configuration.

HTTP/HTML and SNMP Object Format

In this document, we shall describe the variables found on each of the internal HTTP/HTML pages. This

description will include brief definitions of the Patton Enterprise MIB or SNMP MIB II object identifiers

wherever applicable. The format of the variables will resemble figure 2.

! 1 • Introduction

Saving HTTP/HTML Object Changes

Sometimes you will need to save changes that you have made in the HTTP/HTML pages. Do the following to

make changes to read/write variables:

1. Select the appropriate

" )

screen.

2. Make changes to the desired parameter.

3. Click on the button.

4. Return to the

2"

screen.

5. Click on the button.

Note

Make sure you follow steps 1 through 5 when modifying the HTTP/

HTML pages. Otherwise, your changes will be lost when the access

server is power-cycled.

data-base, save any system changes, or reset the system without power-cycling the server.

Note

Clicking on the

2"

link in the

3 ' "

pane will

return you to the

2"

page from any other page.

The

2"

window is divided into two panes: the

3 ' "

pane and the configuration/information

pane (see figure 3). The

3 ' "

contains the links to the various access server subsystems, while

the configuration/information pane is where you can view status and other information, or make changes to

the system configuration. Unlike the Configuration Menu pane, which looks the same no matter which

sub-system page you may move to, the configuration/information pane contents will change as you move from one

subsystem page to another.

Operating Status Variables

There are seven system variables which describe the immediate operating status access server. These variables

are shown in figure 4 and are described in the following sections.

( '?+@

Active Calls (diActive)

This number, ranging from 0 to 60 displays the total number of calls being processed (connecting, dead,

authenticating, and so on) in the access server at the time the HOME page was displayed.

Peak Active Calls (diMaxActive)

The maximum number of active calls seen at one time since the access server was powered on.

Total Calls (diTotalCallAttempts)

The total number of calls attempted since the last boot of the box.

DSPs Not Working (dspFailed)

This number should always be zero. The DSPs in the access server are arranged as a resource pool and called

upon at ring-time. If a DSP fails to respond to the access server’s CPU, it is determined to have failed, at which

point the CPU will remove the DSP from the resource pool. If an incoming call attempts to access the failed

DSP, the RAS will answer, then terminate the call (to a person monitoring the failed call through a telephone

handset, he or she will hear only silence during the call, ending with a faint click as the call is terminated). One

symptom indicating that a DSP has failed is if the access server is not handling as many calls as it normally does.

Total DRAM Detected (boxDetectedMemory)

This number shows the total number of bits of installed and available DRAM.

Running Since Last Boot (sysUpTime)

This tells you how long the access server has been running since the it was last reset. It displays the number of

hours and rolls over after 1,193 hours (497 days).

Immediate Actions

There are several immediate actions (see figure 5) which, when in superuser mode, will cause the access server

to operate according to the descriptions in the following sections.

( 'A+*

• —clicking this button causes the current configuration to be stored in

FLASH memory. Any changes made to the access server configuration are stored in non-volatile RAM. This

allows the user to set the box up with a running configuration before committing it to FLASH.

Configura-tion changes become permanent when you select . You will lose all

changes not stored to FLASH the next time the access server is re-booted.

• —this button causes the access server to perform a cold restart. When you select ,

the access server confirm that you want to execute this command. Then, the access server will disconnect all

current sessions, re-initialize the interfaces, and re-load configuration parameters from FLASH.

• —this button clears out the configuration in FLASH and loads the

factory default parameters into FLASH memory. The factory default settings

will not

execute on the access

server until it is re-booted.

Note

infor-mation, the access server’s Ethernet IP address, and any other site

spe-cific settings made for your particular installation. You will have to

re-enter the access server’s Ethernet IP address and netmask using the

front panel control port in order to use the HTTP/HTML

Manage-ment pages.

Introduction

The access server has an extensive alarm reporting system which enables users to configure, monitor, and test

major and minor alarms. The alarm system can be set to notify if equipment fails (for example, a power supply

failure) or if a T1/E1/PRI port malfunctions. There are 11 access server items that can be configured by the

user to generate alerts based on the condition of the access server.

Displaying the Alarms window

Click on

under the

3 ' "

to display the Alarm System main window (figure 9).

Note

The system administrator can manually generate a specific alarm for

testing purposes or clear the alarm counters from the main window.

(45)

) ', , 45

! 4 • Alarms

The access server has three methods to notify of an alarm condition:

• Front panel LED—The front panel ALARM LED has three states that indicate the presence and severity of

an alarm. The states are:

-

Off—No alarm present

-

Solid—Minor alarm

-

Flashing—Major alarm.

Note

The POWER LED will flash if a power supply failure alarm is

present.

• Administration web page indication—The Alarms window of the administration page uses red highlighting

to indicate which items are in an alarm state (see figure 10).

( ':&+

• SYSLOG/SNMP—For external notification, the access server can be configured to send a SYSLOG

mes-sage or an SNMP TRAP to an external management host. To configure the alarm response for either SNMP

Traps or SYSLOG messages, click on the

link (go to “Modify Response—Configuring the

alarm response system” on page 47).

Besides enabling a user to view current alarm status, manually generate an alarm as a test, and clear the alarm

time and alarm count variables, the Alarms main window also contains links to the following:

• Modify Response—Clicking on this link takes you to a window where you can change how the SYSLOG/

SNMP function notifies remote users of an alarm (see “Modify Response—Configuring the alarm response

system” on page 47)

• Modify Alarms—Clicking on this link takes you to a window where you can change how the access server

perceives the severity of each alarm (“Modify Alarms—Configuring alarm severity levels” on page 49)

Alarm Response Outputs

Alarm Response Outputs display the current settings for handling alarm notification via SYSLOG/SNMP

mes-sages. To change how the SYSLOG/SNMP function notifies remote users of an alarm, refer to “Modify

Response—Configuring the alarm response system” on page 47.

Clicking on this button resets all alarms to a non-alarm condition. Clear All Alarms does the following for all

alarms: it resets the alarm, resets Alarm Time to 0.0 seconds, and resets the Alarm Count to 0.

Alarms

This portion of the Alarms main window displays the alarm status table, where you can view current alarm

sta-tus, manually generate an alarm as a test, and clear the alarm time and alarm count variables.

This number identifies the alarm item.

The alarm items are grouped into two categories: Box and WAN trunk alarms. The Box group category lists

access server temperature and power supply status. The WAN category monitors the T1/E1/PRI ports for

yel-low and red alarms.

The

column displays the number of seconds the alarm has been activated.

The

3

column indicates how many times the alarm has occurred since the last time alarms were

cleared. It is a useful tool for monitoring self-clearing alarms.

For testing purposes, clicking the

button next to each alarm name will cause that alarm

con-dition to be activated, as if the actual alarm trigger had occurred.

Modify Response—Configuring the alarm response system

The alarm response outputs only effect external notification via SYSLOG/SNMP as the front panel ALARM

LED and the web administration pages will always indicate an alarm condition. The following user

configura-tion items can be set to permit external notificaconfigura-tion of access server alarm condiconfigura-tions:

Minor Alarm Syslog Priority (minSyslogPriority)

Sets the SYSLOG priority of the minor alarm SYSLOG message. The higher the minimum priority for

SYS-LOG daemon (set under the System Log link) is, the fewer non-essential messages will be sent to the SYSSYS-LOG

daemon with the alarm messages. The minor/major alarm SYSLOG priority must be set at least as high as

min-imum priority for SYSLOG daemon for SYSLOG messages to be generated. PrioritySystem has the highest

pri-ority; priorityVerbose the lowest priority.

Modify Alarms—Configuring alarm severity levels

The Modify Alarms window (see figure 12) is where you can set the severity level each alarm condition

gener-ates and whether it can be a self-clearing condition.

( ':#+" ) ', ,

The following alarm items that can be configured to generate alarm conditions:

• Box: Over Temperature—An alarm will be triggered when the highest temperature (set under the System

link) exceeds 80°C.

• Box: Power Supply 1–2 Fail—An alarm will be triggered if power supply 1 or 2 fails.

• Box: Main and Fallback Clock Fail—An alarm will be triggered when either the main or fallback clock fail.

• WAN 1–4 Yellow Alarm—When a WAN port detects a yellow alarm condition, the specific WAN alarm

will be set.

• WAN 1–4 Red Alarm—When a WAN port detects a red alarm condition, the specific WAN alarm will be set.

Each alarm item can be set for one of the following severity levels:

• Ignore(0)—Do not generate an alarm

• Minor(1)—Generate a minor alarm that will not reset until the administrator manually clears it

• Major(2)—Generate a major alarm that will not reset until the administrator manually clears it

• MinorSelfClearing(3)—Generate a minor alarm that automatically clears if the alarm condition ceases
