This guide describes how to use the Cisco Digital Subscriber Line Manager (CDM) to configure and monitor the operation of the Cisco Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexers (DSLAMs) that use the Network Interface-2 (NI-2) Card. You can view CDM information for Cisco DSLAMs through the Cisco Element Management Framework (Cisco EMF). The relationship of the CDM to Cisco EMF is similar to the relationship between server and client. The CDM allows you to submit requests to Cisco EMF and then view the results of those requests.
Cisco EMF provides element management that enables service providers to plan, provision, and monitor network services on the Cisco DSL Manager. Refer to the Cisco Element Management Framework User Guide for detailed information on using Cisco EMF.
This guide is written as a technical resource for network managers, system administrators (the people responsible for managing the network), and network analysts (those who configure the network).
It is assumed that you have a basic understanding of network design, operation, and terminology, and that you are familiar with your own network configurations. It is also assumed that you have a basic familiarity with UNIX, and that you have read the Cisco Element Management Framework User Guide.
This guide is organized as follows:
"Introduction," provides a brief introduction to the Cisco DSL Manager and a description of basic concepts.
"Getting Started," describes the tasks you should perform to get started with the Cisco DSL Manager.
"Configuration,"describes general configuration procedures you can perform on the Cisco DSLAM chassis.
"Adding Subscribers and Profiles," guides you through the process of adding a subscriber using the Cisco DSL Manager.
"Viewing Alarms," describes how to use CDM to view alarms generated by Cisco DSLAMs.
"Viewing Status," describes how to view the status of the following Cisco DSLAM objects: interfaces (ADSL, DS3, ATM, DMT, and SONET) and generic chassis, interfaces, and cards.
"Viewing Current Performance Data," describes how to view current performance data on interfaces (OC-3, DS3, DMT) and ADSL lines within the Cisco DSLAM.
"Viewing Historical Performance Data," describes how to view current or historical performance data on cards and interfaces within the Cisco DSLAM.
"Managing Inventory," describes how to view inventory information for the following objects within the Cisco DSLAM: the chassis, NI-2 Management Card, and DMT line cards.

This section describes conventions used throughout this guide.
The Cisco EMF software supports a three-button mouse. The buttons are configured as follows:
· left button---selects objects and activates controls
· middle button---adjusts a selected group of objects, adding to or deselecting part of the group
· right button---displays and selects from menus
For instances in which you can select more than one item from a list simultaneously, you can:
· Select a single item in a list and click on the entry. Clicking a second time on a previously selected entry deselects it.
· Select a contiguous block of items and click on the first entry; then, without releasing the mouse button, drag to the last desired entry and release. (A subsequent click anywhere on the screen deselects all previous selections.)
· Extend a currently selected block by pressing the Shift key and clicking on the entry at the end of the group you wish to include.
· Add a non-contiguous entry to a selected group by pressing the Ctrl (Control) key and clicking on the entry to be added.
Names of on-screen elements that you click or select (menu names and commands, and controls such as buttons, drop-down lists, and so on) are printed in bold font.
Text displayed as on-screen examples is printed in courier font.
When set off from the main text, words and characters you should enter by the keyboard are printed in bold font. When the word or character string is enclosed in angle brackets (< and >), you should substitute your own character string for the example presented in the text.
For example, when you see:
login: root
you should specify the string root at the login prompt. However, when you see:
password: <rootpassword>
you should specify your own password in place of the character string <rootpassword>.
The italic style is used to emphasize words, to introduce new terms, and for titles of printed publications (however, not titles of CD-ROMs or floppy disks).
