This chapter describes how to view status, configuration, and performance data about chassis, modules, and ports on the Cisco 6100 Series system DSLAM chassis. You can retrieve status, configuration, and performance information for objects by opening the associated windows.
This chapter includes the following sections:
To view the status, configuration, and performance data about specific objects on the Cisco 6100 Series system DSLAM, you can open the associated windows in two ways. The first way is to right-click over the module type on the left side of the Map Viewer window to access the object menu for that managed object. An example object menu is shown in Figure 5-1.

In this object menu, you would click Open Flex Module Status/Configuration/Delete Dialog to open the associated window. The object menus for other modules have similar choices.
From the object menu, you choose the option to open the appropriate status and configuration window. This method is the one used in this chapter.
The other way to access the status and configuration windows is from the Navigation menu, which you can open from the System Dialog window. The Navigation menu is shown in Figure 5-2.

You can choose from the following Navigation menu items to open status and configuration windows:
To view the status, configuration, and performance information about a Cisco 6100 Series system DSLAM chassis, complete the following steps:
The object menu for the managed element, which is shown in Figure 5-3, opens.

Step 2 Choose Open System Commission/Decommission/Config sync Dialog from the object menu.
The System Commission/Decommission/Config sync Dialog window, which is shown in Figure 5-4, opens.

This window opens to the System Configuration tab on which you can view the following System Alarm Information:

Note Every module whose status you can view includes the same basic information about the type of module and its status. The illustrations in this section may show one particular type of module; however, the information is the same for all modules unless otherwise noted. |
The type of module whose status and configuration information you can view can include any one of the following types:
Each status/configuration/delete or status/configuration dialog window contains a Board Info/Status tab and a Slot Info tab.
The object menu shown in Figure 5-8, is for a network interface module.

Step 2 Choose Open [Name]Module Status/Configuration/Delete Dialog from the object menu.
The associated Module Status/Configuration/Delete Dialog window opens. The example shown in Figure 5-6 is a Network Interface Status/Configuration/Delete Dialog window.

Note For parameters that are subject to inhibiting, see ANSI T1.231 for inhibiting rules. |
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
User Cell Count-I | Displays a count of the total number of cells in the interleaved data path that is delivered at the virtual channel (for ATU-C) or remote transceiver (For ATU-R interface). |
1 Sec FFEC1 Err Count | Displays a count of 1-second intervals with one or more FFEC anomalies. |
1 Sec FEC2 Err Count | Displays a count of 1-second intervals with one or more FEC anomalies. |
Interleaved FEBE-F Err Count | Displays a count of the interleaved data stream FEBE-F anomalies. This parameter is subject to inhibiting. |
Interleaved CRC3-8 Err Count | Displays a count of interleaved data stream CRC-8 anomalies that occur during the accumulation period. This parameter is subject to inhibiting. |
HEC4 Cell Count-F | Displays a count of the total number of cells that are passed through the cell delineation process that is operating on the fast data while in the SYNC state. |
SNR Margin | Represents the amount of increased received noise (in decibels) relative to the noise power that the system is designed to tolerate and still meet the target bit error rate (BER) of 107. This value accounts for all coding (for example, Reed-Solomon forward error correction) gains that are included in the design. The SNR margin ranges from -64.0 dB to +63.5 dB with 0.5 dB steps. Is measured at the near end. |
HEC Cell Count-I | Displays the total cell count-I performance parameter. This value is a count of the total number of cells that are passed through the cell delineation process that is operating on the interleaved data while in SYNC state. |

Displays a count of 1-second intervals with one of the following characteristics:
| |
Fast FFEC-I Err Count | Displays a count of interleaved data stream FFEC-I anomalies that occur during the accumulation period. This parameter is subject to inhibiting. |
Fast FEC-F Err Count | Displays a count of the fast data stream FEC-F anomalies (the number of corrected code words) that occur during the accumulation period. This parameter is subject to inhibiting. |
1 Sec CRC-8 Err Count | Displays a count of 1-second intervals that have one or more of the following characteristics:
|
Far End SNR Margin | Represents the amount of increased received noise (in decibels) relative to the noise power that the system is designed to tolerate and still meet the target bit error rate (BER) of 107. This value accounts for all coding (for example, Reed-Solomon forward error correction) gains that are included in the design. The SNR margin ranges from -64.0 dB to +63.5 dB with 0.5 dB steps.

Attenuation | Displays the near attenuation value. Near attenuation is the difference (in decibels) between the power that is received at the near-end and the power that is transmitted from the far end. Received signal power in decibels per milliwatt is the sum of all data-carrying (that is b i > 0) DMT-2 subcarrier powers averaged over a 1-second period. Transmitted signal power is 3.65 + 10 - log(S gi1) decibels per milliwatt, summed over the data-carrying subcarriers. The attenuation ranges from 0 to 63.5 dB with 0.5 dB steps. |
