D/I Mux III Software Control
As depicted in Figure 1-1, the D/I Mux III can be controlled in one of the following ways:
• Locally, through use of an asynchronous ASCII terminal
• Via a personal computer with terminal emulation software
• Through the use of SNMP software command options, (requires AMCU card option)
Most D/I Mux III configuration and diagnostic functions (transmission channel mapping, shelf operating
modes, T1 formats, clock sources, alarm generation and reporting, as well as password access) are
under software control. Software also controls the configuration of intelligent channel cards.

AIM-NET EMS
Coastcom’s AIM-Net is a Windows-based enhanced Element Management System (EMS) designed to
simplify the construction and mapping of complex voice and data networks. This unique software
management tool was designed in support of our AIM and D/I Mux III product lines, empowering the user
to set up, configure, view, and manage an entire mixed network from a single location. Simple point and
click navigation alleviates the need for highly trained technicians to manage your networks and reduces
costly travel time to remote sites for maintenance. (For D/I Mux, requires an AMCU controller card).
(See separate AIM-Net User’s Manual for further features and functionality).
AIM-Net Features:
• Point and click mapping of once complex voice and data networks
• The unique ability to automatically select routing
• Maintains a comprehensive record of all equipment and software within the network
• Reports critical feature card information from throughout the network
• Provides a platform for network and inventory management
• The ability to export network and node information to any Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)
where customized management reports can be generated
• Allows for the design and simulated connection of networks in a virtual environment for review
before taking the network live.
