Model 1092 Configuration—Next Configuration page MIB variables description 64Model 1001MC Operations Guide 4 • Model 1092ARC managementAt startup, all of the fields will be highlighted in yellow, signifying that they are not verified parameters. As theNetLink-iDSL sets up the parameters, the highlighting disappears, signifying that the display matches the set-ting of the card.Local Software Rev (softVersioniDSL)These read-only MIB variable displays the current version of code that is running in the NetLink-iDSL rackcard modem. You should check the download web page to see if the Model 1001MC has a newer version ofcode available for downloading. Through the download web page, you can update the software that is runningin the NetLink-iDSL rack card.Remote Software Rev (remotesoftversioniDSL)These read-only MIB variable displays the current version of code that is running in the NetLink-iDSL Cus-tomer Premise modem. You can update the software in the NetLink stand alone unit through the front panelcontrol port on the unit. For more information regarding software downloads for standalone units, visit thePatton Electronics web site at www.patton.com.Next Configuration tableThis table shows the configurable MIB variables for the set of units. There are column for the local and remoteunits. In some cases a single variable applies to both the local and remote unit. In this case, a single configura-tion field is made available in the Local column and the Remote column is made a read-only field. Afterchanges are made, select the Submit Query button at the bottom of the table and then place the Input Modeback to onLine(0) in the Model 1092 Configuration page.The following sections explain the MIB variables that are shown in the Next Configuration table.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 MIB variable that defines the DTE rate. The Customer Premise box willautomatically update its' configuration to the DTE rate that is set here.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 as a single variable in the Local column. The Remote column displays aread only field showing the remote units clocking mode. This was done to avoid an illegal configuration of theNetLink-iDSL modems. For instance, both units CAN NOT be set to internal clock. The options list all pos-sible clocking combinations.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.Test Mode (testModeSetiDSL/remotetestModeSetiDSL)These variables allow you to place the NetLink-iDSL rack card into test modes. For more information on thetest modes, please see the NetLink-iDSL Test Modes section below.
