This chapter discusses how to use ViewRunner for Windows to check system status and configuration information.
 | Caution Several sections in this chapter to not apply to Direct Connect configurations. These sections are marked accordingly. |
ViewRunner provides status and configuration information for the following areas of the Cisco 6100 operation:
The following sections explain how to use ViewRunner to access status and configuration information.
You access either status or configuration information on any Cisco 6100 entity, including the chassis itself, through the Cisco 6100 Chassis View by clicking on the Chassis View icon from the tool bar. The icon is on the toolbar shown below between the two alarm icons.
The property dialog for each Cisco 6100 module contains both a Status and a Configuration tab from which you can view status or configuration information respectively for that module. The property dialog for the ATU-C and LIM modules contain Port tabs to allow you to view the status or configuration of each port on that module.
Figure 7-2 of a section of the LIM Module Properties dialog shows the Module, Port, Status, and Configuration tabs. Property dialogs for other modules are similar.
The property dialogs for subscribers and pools show only the configuration of those entities rather than their status.
The status dialogs display the states associated with that entity with no operator configurable fields. The configuration dialogs display the specific entity details and operator configurable fields.
The Cisco 6100 Properties status and configuration dialogs show information about the current Cisco 6100 system and its attributes as provisioned.

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
Over Subscription Ratios Displays the running total of over-subscription within the currently selected logical pool. Three different over subscription formulas are displayed to provide insight into various aspects of the pool characteristics. The ratios that ViewRunner for Windows provides are described below. | |
Assigned Port Over Subscription Ratio (OSR) | Useful when initially configuring logical pools. This ratio is based on locked entities. Assigned Port OSR effectively displays the target oversubscription provisioning ratio for the pool. Assigned Port OSR equals the number of line ports assigned to the logical pool divided by the number of ATU-C ports assigned to the logical pool. |
Provisioned and Unlocked OSR
| Useful to verify that the system is properly configured and administratively unlocked to support the target OSR. This ratio will be equal to the assigned port OSR when all provisioning needed to support service is completed and the entities are unlocked. Locking ATU-C ports increases the OSR (e.g., 3:1 goes to 6:1). Locking LIMs reduces the OSR (e.g., 6:1 goes to 3:1). Provisioned and Unlocked OSR equals the number of unlocked line ports that are: · Assigned to the logical pool · Subordinate to an unlocked module · Associated to an unlocked subscriber This number is then divided by the number of unlocked ATU-C ports assigned to the logical pool that are subordinate to an unlocked module. |
Provisioned and In Service OSR | Displays the active OSR that the system is experiencing, factoring required configurations, administrative permissions, and the Service state of the pooled ports. This ratio includes the Operational state of the system and will vary as alarms set or clear. Provisioned and In Service OSR equals the number of in service line ports assigned to the logical pool that are also associated to an unlocked subscriber. This number is then divided by the number of in service ATU-C ports assigned to the logical pool. |
Assigned Ports | Displays the LIM and ATU-C ports that have been assigned to a logical pool. |
Unassigned Ports | Displays the LIM and ATU-C ports that have not been assigned to a logical pool. |
In DOH configurations, you can access the Subscriber Property screen by clicking on the Edit Subscriber... button on the LIM Module Properties >> Port Properties >> Configuration dialog.
In Direct Connect configurations, you can access the Subscriber Property screen by clicking on the Add Subscriber... button on the ATU-C Module Properties >> Port Properties >> Configuration screen.
In both DOH and Direct Connect configurations, a screen similar to the following appears:
Table 7-15 describes the field information for the subscriber configuration fields.
| Field/Button | Description |
|---|---|
Administrative State | Displays the Administrative state of the subscriber. Can be locked or unlocked. |
Subscriber ID | Subscriber ID is a required ViewRunner for Windows field that must contain at least one alphanumeric character up to 20 alphanumeric characters. Its uniqueness is not guaranteed by ViewRunner for Windows. ViewRunner for Windows recognizes and displays subscribers created with NULL subscriber IDs, but does not allow modification of subscriber configuration parameters unless an alphanumeric character has been entered. Note If you input more that 20 characters for the Subscriber ID, the system beeps at you starting with the 21st character, which informs you that you are exceeding the field length.Subscriber ID is a non-service affecting parameter to the Cisco 6100. You can modify the Subscriber ID field when the subscriber is unlocked. To modify subscriber information, click on the Service Provisioning button. |
| Subscriber Association to Port Group Box | |
Circuit ID | Allows configuration of an identifier assigned to the local loop. For this release, Circuit ID is not supported and should be dimmed. |
Module AID and Port Number | Displays the chassis, slot, and port associated with this subscriber. |
| Service Configuration Group Box | |
Max Allowed Upstream/Downstream Rate | Limits the maximum trained rate of a subscriber's modem. List boxes allow selection of the valid configuration settings using kbps units. The up and down selections are completely independent of one another. See "System Operation and Performance (DOH)," for more information on training. Note In Release 2.3.5, the number of upstream/downstream payload combinations are increased with the addition of support for 136K baud.The 136K Baud training rates can now be enabled or disabled through a system wide MIB object. If the 136K Baud training rates are disabled, then those selections will be grayed out in ViewRunner and not selectable by the user. |
Margin Configuration (Upstream and Downstream) | Allows the operator to associate an upstream and a downstream margin value with a subscriber. See Bit Error Rate and Noise Margin for more information on setting the margins. Note In Release 2.3.5, the number of upstream/downstream payload combinations are increased with the addition of support for 136K baud.The 136K Baud training rates can now be enabled or disabled through a system wide MIB object. If the 136K Baud training rates are disabled, then those selections will be grayed out in ViewRunner and not selectable by the user. |
Allow 136 Kbaud | CAP modules support 136 KBaud training rates, which can be allowed or disallowed when the feature is supported by the SC software revision and the subscriber is locked. If the SC supports per-subscriber provisionable 136 KBaud or does not support ATUCPARMS, then the "Allow 136 KBaud" toggle on the Cisco 6100 Properties dialog shall be disabled. If the SC supports ATUCPARMS but does not support per-subscriber 136 KBaud then the toggle is enabled. |
CPE Signature | You can configure per-subscriber CPE signature detection for a a ATU-C module through the Subscriber Properties dialog. You can specify of the minimum CPE signature within a range of 0-127. The default is 0 which essentially disables CPE signature detection. If the system controller (SC) revision supports per-subscriber provisionable CPE detection, then the performance dialog displays dashes in the "Non-Timer Failed Trains" column, and the total for that column is disabled. There is also a new column in the subscriber tab of the performance dialog called "CPE Rejects" which totals the number of CPE signatures not detected by design. In addition, the "Allow non-timer CPE trains" toggle on the Cisco 6100 Properties dialog is disabled unless the SC revision supports ATUCPARMS but does not support per-subscriber provisionable CPE. |
Timer Type | Allows the user to specify an ADSL disconnect timer for a session or for idle time. If you select Idle for the timer type, you can specify the number of minutes the subscriber can remain idle before the ADSL connection is disconnected. If you select Session for the timer type, you can specify the number of minutes the subscriber can stay connected. If the SC does not support timer settings, then all the fields will be disabled. Otherwise, the fields will be enabled or disabled depending on the administrative state of the subscriber (locked or unlocked). The default settings are Session timeout at 100 minutes with a valid range of 1-240. The idle timeout 0, or disabled with a valid range of 1 to 60 minutes. You can select both timers to force a timeout when the subscriber crosses either threshold. Note Use the CPE detection feature to discover CPE gear that is not capable of performing Idle or Session timeouts. During training, the CPE detection feature determines if the CPE equipment can be timer enabled. If the equipment can be timer enabled, then training continues. If the equipment cannot be timer enabled, ViewRunner generates an alarm. After a short time, training continues, but the options for setting Idle or Session timeouts via ViewRunner are disabled. |
PVC Idle | If you enabled the Idle timer, you can set the PVC Idle time for cells per minute, and the Lockout time can be set for minutes. The default value of the PVC threshold is zero, or disabled. The range for the PVC threshold is 1 to 2147483647 cells per minute. The PVC threshold is used also for low tide monitoring.
|
Lockout Time | If you enabled the Session timer, you can specify the number of minutes a subscriber will be locked out when the session is disconnected after timeout. The default is 1 with a valid range of 1-60. |
"Service Provisioning (Direct Connect)," details the service provisioning process for Direct Connect configurations. Since this process focuses on setting up system and subscriber attributes one-by-one, it is important to review configured subscriber and port information on an aggregate basis.
