This chapter tells you how to use ViewRunner for Windows to check system status and
configuration information.
 | Caution Several sections in this chapter do 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 Series system operation:
You can access either status or configuration information on any Cisco 6100 Series entity, including the chassis itself, through the Cisco 6100 Series Chassis View. To do so, click the Chassis View icon from the tool bar. In Figure 7-1, the icon is in the toolbar between the two alarm icons.
The Property dialog box for each Cisco 6100 Series module contains a Status and a Configuration tab from which you can view module status or configuration information. The Property dialog box for the module also contains Port tabs that allow you to view the status or configuration of each port on that module.
Figure 7-2, a section of the LIM Properties dialog box, shows the Module, Port, Status, and Configuration tabs. Property dialog boxes for other modules are similar.
The Property dialog boxes for subscribers and pools show only the configuration of those entities rather than their status.
The Status dialog boxes display the states associated with the entity, with no operator-configurable fields. The Configuration dialog boxes display details specific to the configuration you have chosen and the configurable fields for that entity.
The Cisco 6100 Series Properties Status and Configuration dialog boxes show information about the current Cisco 6100 Series system and its provisioned attributes.
If you are accessing a node remotely, using the in-band management channel feature, chassis status information may indicate time and date differences between your location and that of the chassis. To find out the status of a Cisco 6100 Series chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1 In the main Cisco 6100 Series Chassis View, place your cursor on either side of the Cisco 6100 Series chassis and right-click. The right-hand chassis menu appears.

Table 7-14 describes the fields in the Logical Pool Configuration dialog box.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
Oversubscription Ratios Displays the running total of oversubscription 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 you are 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 CAP ATU-C ports assigned to the logical pool. You can use this ratio to estimate the actual load on a particular module. |
Provisioned and Unlocked OSR | Useful for verifying that the system is properly configured and administratively unlocked to support the target OSR. This ratio is equal to the assigned port OSR when all provisioning needed to support service is completed and the entities are unlocked. Locking CAP ATU-C ports increases the OSR (for example, 3:1 goes to 6:1). Locking LIMs reduces the OSR (for example, 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 You can divide this number by the number of unlocked CAP 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 varies 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 with an unlocked subscriber. You can |
Assigned Ports | Displays the LIM and CAP ATU-C ports that have been assigned to a logical pool. |
Unassigned Ports | Displays the LIM and CAP ATU-C ports that have not been assigned to a logical pool. |
To configure subscribers according to the service they have designated, you must access the Subscriber Property dialog box.
In both DOH and Direct Connect configurations, a dialog box similar to the one shown in Figure 7-25 appears.
You can see in the example of an STU-C Subscriber Properties dialog box in Figure 7-26, that the Margin Configuration, PSD Transmit Power, Connection Timeout, and Timer Type fields are all dimmed.
Table 7-15 describes fields for the ATU- C and STU-C Subscriber Properties dialog boxes. All fields after "Max Allowed Upstream Downstream Rate" do not apply to the STU-C module.
| Field/Button | Description |
|---|---|
Administrative State | Displays the Administrative state of the subscriber. Can be Locked |
Subscriber ID | Subscriber ID is a required ViewRunner for Windows field that must contain 1 to 20 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 try to input more that 20 characters for the Subscriber ID, the system beeps starting with the 21st character. This beeping informs you that you are exceeding the field length.Subscriber ID is a nonservice-affecting parameter for the Cisco 6100 Series system. You can modify the Subscriber ID field when the subscriber is Unlocked. To modify subscriber information, click Service Provisioning. The Provisioning dialog box opens. |
| Subscriber Association to Port Group Box | |
Circuit ID | Allows configuration of an identifier assigned to the local loop. |
Module AID and Port Number | Displays the chassis, slot, and port associated with the subscriber you have selected to view or provision. |

Max Allowed Upstream/Downstream Rate | Limits the maximum trained rate of a subscriber's modem. Drop-down menus allow selection of valid configuration settings in kbps. See "System Operation and Performance with a Digital Off-Hook Configuration," for more information on training. |
| Fields below this point do not apply to the STU-C module | |
Margin Configuration (Upstream and Downstream) | Allows you 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 Because increasing the margins could prevent a line from training, a warning appears when you change the noise margin. |
Timer Type | Note The timer type feature does not exist for DMT-2 or STU-C. It does exist for CAP ATU-C modules.
Allows you to specify an ADSL disconnect timer for a session or for idle time. If you select Idle for the timer type, you can specify that 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 module 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 setting for the session timeout is 100 minutes, with a valid range of 1 to 240. The default setting for the idle timeout is 0 (disabled), with a valid range of 0 to 60. You can select both timers to force a timeout when the subscriber crosses |
"Service Provisioning with a Direct Connect Configuration," 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.

Each VCC displayed in the dialog box contains the subscriber name, the subscriber-side virtual path identifier (VPI), virtual circuit identifier (VCI), and the network side VPI/VCI.
