Introduction
Thischapterprovides instructions for accessingthe terminal interface control functionsin aUAS
7000 system to perform local management. You access the terminal interface through a
SpectraComm Manager (SCM)card installedin theshelfthat houses theNIU and DIU cards that
compose the UAS 7000 system. One SCM supports interface functions for up to 15 units in a
single shelf or up to 31 units in a pair of shelves connected by daisy chain cables.
The SCM card supports two types of connection for terminal interface functions:
• connection of a VT100-compatible terminal via the Craft port on the SCM front panel
• Telnet connection via the SCM LAN port located on the back panel of the shelf
A Craft port connection can be made using any standard VT-100 or ANSI terminal. A LAN port
connection requires a personal computer (PC) that runs the Telnet protocol and emulates a
VT100-type terminal. Either type of equipment must be equipped with an EIA/TIA-232-E
communication interface.
For either type of equipment, terminal communications parameters must be set as follows:
1. data rate = 9600 bps
2. character format = 1 start bit
8 data bits
no parity
1 stop bit
Initiating a Terminal Interface Session
The first portion of a terminal interface session varies depending on whether you’re using a
VT100-compatible terminal connected directly to the SCM front panel or a computer with a
Telnet connection to the SCM LAN port.

VT100-Compatible Terminal
When you connect a terminal to the SCM front panel, the following screen is the first to appear
Type 3 and press the Enter key. The screen then displays the Shelf Inventory screen that appears
below.
The other selections in this menu all relate to SCM functionality. They are discussed in the
SpectraComm Manager Card Installation and Operation Manual, GDC Publication Number
048R303-000.
Telnet Connection
TheSpectraCommManagerCardInstallationand Operation Manual, GDC Publication Number
048R303-000 explains how to establish a Telnet connection to the SCM LAN port. When you do
so, the following screen is the first to appear
After you enter the login password the screen displays the Shelf Inventory screen that appears
below.
There is a 10-minute timeout on the terminal interface. If you allow 10
minutes to pass with no activity, that is without pressing any key on the
keyboard, the unit terminates the session. At that point the display
returns to the SCM Main Menu if you are using a terminal connected
to the SCM front panel, or to the SCM login screen if you are using a
Telnet connection.

Device Selection (Shelf Inventory Screen)
From this point, procedures are the same for both typesof connection. The Shelf Inventory screen
below is for a two-shelf UAS 7000 installation that contains four UAS 7001 NIUs, each
associated with four UAS 7616 DIUs. Four is the maximum number of NIUs a system can
contain. Each UAS 7001 NIU can be associated with up to four DIUs, each UAS 7002 NIU with
up to five.
The two columns for Slots 17 through 32 do not appear in the Shelf Inventory display when there
is only one shelf.
Figure 1-3 Shelf Inventory Screen
The Shelf Inventory display uses the following designators:
MP7001 for the UAS 7001 NIU
MP7002 for the UAS 7001 NIU
UAS7616 for the UAS 7616 DIU
UAS7616TA for the UAS 7616 Multi-Link DIU
UAS7626 for the UAS 7626 DIU
The Shelf Inventory displays the word "alarm" in parentheses next to the name of any unit that
currently has an active alarm condition. It displays a + sign next to the slot number of a DIU when
the unit has a dedicated remote.
Type the slot number of the unit you intend to work with, and press the Enter key. If you have

selected an NIU or a DIU with no dedicated remotes the unit responds by displaying the Main
Menu screen forthe unit you are accessing. The following chapters explainhow to use that menu
and the screens that you can access through it.
If you select aDIU that does have one or more dedicated remotes,the unit respondsby displaying
the Drop Inventory screen.
Drop Inventory Screen
The Drop Inventory screen (Figure 1-5) is included in the terminal interface process when a DIU
you are accessing has a dedicated remote associated with it. A + sign appears next to the DIU’s
Shelf Inventory slot number when there is a dedicated remote.
The Drop Inventory screen is generated dynamically, so its appearance depends on what type of
DIU is selected and what its remote connections are. The display can show as many as seven
selections:
Drop 0 is always the DIU itself; select it to access the terminal interface screens for the
master unit installed in the UAS 7000 shelf
Drops 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 display the unit types of their corresponding dedicated remotes
Because the Drop Inventory screen is generated dynamically, its appearance is not always the
same. If, for example, there is only one dedicated remote and it is linked to the DIU’s first DSL,
the screen shows only two drops: 0, the DIU, and 1, the remote. However, if the single dedicated
remote is linked to the DIU’s third DSL, the screen shows drops 0 through 3 with the remote as
drop 3 and blank lines for drops 1 and 2.
Figure 1-5 Drop Inventory Screen
The screen displays (alarm)next to the card name if there is an alarm condition.
The [D] Delete Remote selection results in an on-screen prompt Enter drop of remote
to delete: Type the appropriate number and press the Enter key. The [D] selection disappears
from the screen when all remotes are deleted. Also, if you delete all remotes, the Drop Inventory
screen itself stops existing after you leave the screen by selecting 0 or S.

Main Menu
The Main Menu screen, shown in Figure 2-1, is the access point to the individual terminal
interface functions. It contains the following selections:
• Configuration – accesses a menu of the three categories of configuration you can perform
on UAS 7001 NIU: Unit, Alarms, and System
• Diagnostics – accesses the screen by which you can select, start, and stop diagnostic
loopbacks
• Monitor/Alarms – accesses the display screen for viewing alarm conditions
• Maintenance – accesses the screen by which you can perform reset functions
• Performance – accesses a menu of three display screens
To access a function from the Main Menu, type the selection number that corresponds to it and
press the Enter key. The following pages describe the individual terminal interface functions in
detail.
