Chapter 2. 9500 MXC Terminals
Vol. II-2-36 Alcatel-Lucent
• DHCP server connection, where a server function in the IDU provides an IP
address to the CT PC client.
• This option is enabled in the Networking screen.
• DHCP connection does not require operator knowledge of the IP address for
the connected radio.
V.24. This is the default connection option for a new, unconfigured IDU (IP
address not entered):
• V.24 does not require knowledge of an IDU’s IP address.
• A V.24 cable is included in the IDU installation kit.
For information on CT PC connection, Refer to Volume IV, Chapter 2.
Configuration
CT configuration screens for the IDUs are identical to those for the INU/INUe
(where service functionality is the same).
• For information on CT PC connection, refer to Setting Up 9500 MXC CT,
Chapter 2 of Volume III.
• For information on a recommended configuration process for a new IDU, refer
to Procedure Overview for a New Installation on page 3-7 of Volume III.
• For detail configuration data, refer to the relevant screens in Volume IV.
Diagnostics
The CT Diagnostics screen functions include:
• Event browser with report options.
• History, graphed and report, with capture options for 7 days worth of 15 minute
data bins, or one month of daily bins. Screens are provided for RACs and
Ethernet IDUs/DACs. The RAC screen captures G.826, G.821, RSL and event
data. The Ethernet history screen captures throughputs, frame types, discards,
errors and events.
To enable 9500 MXC CT access on a new (unconfigured) IDU a V.24 connection
is required at the outset. Once connected, an IP address can be configured, from
which point Ethernet access can be used.
An Ethernet connection is recommended as it provides a much faster connection
and running speed compared to V.24. Ethernet must be used for remote-end and
network-wide access.
