If this is not done, the NetLink-iDSL will not recognize the configuration changes thatwere made.Model 1092 Configuration Slot page Configuration Status table descriptionThe Configuration Status table shows the configuration for the set of units. There are columns for the local andremote units. If a field is highlighted in yellow, it signifies one of two possible conditions:• At start up, the Model 1001MC will display a default configuration for the card and all fields will be high-lighted in yellow, notifying you that the information has not been verified. During the negotiation phase,the NetLink-iDSL modem will update the configuration in the Model 1001MC with its last set of storedparameters. As these fields are updated in the Model 1001MC, the yellow highlighting will disappear, signi-fying that the information has been updated. After the local and remote units are linked, the units willbegin updating the remote information in the table, and Line Status set to datamode(2).• If a rack card is installed in the rack without a customer premise unit connected, the remote informationwill be left as either none or highlighted in yellow, notifying you that the information has not been verified.The following sections define the MIB variables that are shown in the Configuration Status table.Model Code (localModelCode/remoteModelCode)These variables display the local and remote models codes for the units that were found in the specified address.DTE rate (dteRateiDSL)This variable displays the DTE rate for the link. Because the NetLink-iDSL modems are symmetrical (samerate in both direction), there is only one MIB variable that defines the DTE rate.Clock Mode (Local-Remote)This variable defines the clock mode for the NetLink modems. The display shows the Local clock mode (rackcard) and then the remote clock mode.TM From DTE (dteTMiDSL/remotedteTMiDSL)These MIB variables define whether you would like the modems to accept test mode requests from the DTEthat is connected. In normal applications this should be set to disable(1). When the application is using rearcards or interface modules that do not have loop back ability from the DTE, such as the IM2RC/IA Ethernetrear card, this variable must be set to disable(1). In most situations, if a DTE test mode is required, it should beenable only during the time that the test is needed.HW Test Mode (testModeIndiDSL/remotetestModeIndiDSL)These read-only variables notify you that the specified unit has been placed into a test mode through the hard-ware. This could have been done either through the front panel switches or from the DTE (if the TM from DTEis enabled). When a test mode is displayed, the field will be highlighted in blue to give you quick notification.SW Test Mode (testModeSetiDSL/remotetestModeSetiDSL)These variables notify you that the specified unit has been placed into a test mode through the managementstation. The management can place a unit into a test mode within the Model 1092A Update Configurationpage explained in more detail below.
