1.6 Configuration; General Information - GE JungleMUX 86445-31 Technical Practice And Installation Manual

1.6 CONFIGURATION

To configure the 86445-31 2W FXS unit locally, connect a PC running VNI
(VistaNET Network Interface) or VLA (VistaNET Local Access) program to the CI
jack at the front of the unit through a COM port. Alternatively, a legacy JCI
(JungleMUX Craft Interface) software may be used. An 84910-05 RJ-11 cable
and an 84910-06 (9-pin adapter) or 84910-07 (25-pin adapter) are required. The
unit's programmable parameters along with the unit status information are
displayed automatically once the communication to the unit is established.
The unit can also be configured remotely through the network management
system using VistaNET (if VNI is used) or legacy JNCI (JungleMUX Network
Craft Interface); however, the channel assignment field must be configured
locally prior to establishing the NMS connection to the unit. The capabilities and
features of VistaNET and JNCI network management software packages are
described in respective User's Manuals.
The units that are shipped as part of a purchased JungleMUX node have their
programmable fields set as per the Node Assignment Drawing (NAD) for the
node.
Below is a description of the VistaNET Unit View for the 86445-31 2W FXS Unit.
Note that the same layout is used in both local and network (remote)
communication modes. Explanations for all the fields that appear in this view
along with their function are included.
