Chapter 1
Overview
The AT-S70 management software is intended for the Converteon Series
chassis. The software is used to monitor and adjust the operating
parameters of a chassis. Some of the functions you can perform with the
software include:
Enable and disable ports
Configure port parameters, such as speed and duplex mode
Assign an Internet Protocol (IP) address and subnet mask
Access OAM information and statistics
Download and upload image and configuration files
Configure port security
The AT-S70 management software comes pre-installed on the
AT-CV5M01 Control Processor Module (CPM) with default settings for all
operating parameters. If the default settings are adequate for your
network, you can use the chassis as an unmanaged chassis simply by
connecting the unit to your network, as explained in the hardware
installation guide, and powering ON the device.
Note
The default settings for the management software can be found in
the Appendix A, “AT-S70 Default Settings” on page 129.
The AT-S70 management software and the management interface simplify
the task of monitoring and managing the Converteon chassis and
modules. This easy-to-use menu-oriented interface, which is provided by
the AT-S70 management software, enables you to configure and manage
all of the modules installed in the AT-CV5000 chassis.
There are three different ways to access the management software on a
Converteon chassis. These methods are referred to in this guide as
management session as listed below:
Local management session
Telnet management session
SNMP management session
AT-S70 Management Software User’s Guide
15
Note
To prevent unauthorized access, you can assign a password to the
management software program that requires the user to enter the
password when starting the interface. The default password for
Manager access is “friend”; and the default password for Operator
access is “operator”.
Note
Once the password has been changed and is forgotten, you must
call Technical Support to have it reset back to the default password.
For Technical Support contact info, refer to “Contacting Allied
Telesyn” on page 12.
The following sections in this chapter briefly describe each type of
management session.
Chapter 1: Overview
16
Local Management Session
You establish a local management session with a Converteon chassis by
connecting a terminal or a PC with a terminal emulator program to the RS-
232 Terminal Port on the CPM card installed in the front of the chassis,
using the straight-through RS-232 management cable. This type of
management session is referred to as “local” because you must be
physically close to the chassis, such as in the wiring closet where the
chassis is located.
After the session starts, a menu is displayed from which you can make
selections to configure and monitor the chassis. You can configure all
operating parameters of a chassis from a local management session.
Note
For instructions on starting a local management session, refer to
“Starting a Local Management Session” on page 21.
A chassis does not need an Internet Protocol (IP) address for you to
manage it locally. You can start a local management session on a chassis
at any time. It will not affect the forwarding of frames by the device.
AT-S70 Management Software User’s Guide
17
Telnet Management Session
You can use any management workstation on your network that has the
Telnet application protocol to manage a Converteon chassis. This type of
management session is referred to in this guide as a remote management
session because you do not have to be in the wiring closet where the
chassis is located. You can manage the chassis from any workstation on
the network that has the application protocol.
To establish a Telnet management session with a chassis, there must be
at least one Converteon chassis that has been assigned an Internet
Protocol (IP) address. Only one chassis in a subnet needs to have an IP
address.
Note
For instructions on how to start a Telnet management session, refer
to “Starting a Telnet Management Session” on page 24.
A Telnet management session gives you access to nearly all operating
parameters of a chassis. You can perform nearly all the same functions
from a Telnet management session as you can from a local management
session.
Chapter 1: Overview
18
SNMP Management Session
The Converteon chassis can also be remotely managed via Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP), such as HP Openview. This
method, however, does not use the management interface.
If you intend to manage the chassis from a management workstation using
an SNMP management program, you need to load the Management
Information Base (MIB) file onto the management workstation. (The MIB
file is available from the Allied Telesyn web site.) This requires that you
use a MIB compiler to compile the file. To load the MIB file onto a
management workstation, follow the instructions included with your MIB
compiler. For instructions on how to compile the MIB file with your SNMP
program, refer to your SNMP management documentation.
A familiarity with Management Information Base (MIB) objects is
necessary for this type of management.
The AT-S70 software supports the following MIB:
atcv5000.mib
For non-IP environments, you can use a MAC address to connect to a
remote system as long as there are no routers between the two chassis.
19
Chapter 2
Starting a Local or Telnet Management
Session
This chapter describes the procedures for starting a local or Telnet
management session on a Converteon chassis. The sections in this
chapter are:
“Using the Terminal Interface” on page 20
“Local Management Session” on page 21
“Telnet Management Session” on page 24
“Saving Your Parameter Changes” on page 26
Chapter 2: Starting a Local or Telnet Management Session
20
Using the Terminal Interface
If you are using a DEC VT100 or ANSI (the default) terminal configuration,
it is helpful to know how to select a menu option in the terminal interface.
Table 1 lists the instructions on how to move through the menus and
select menu options.
Enabled options in menus are preceded with a > symbol. In the following
example, the first option is enabled:
>Enable this port
Disable this port
When you press <Enter> to select a field in which you can enter a value,
the -> symbol is displayed. For example:
System name: ->
The -> symbol indicates that you can enter a new value for the parameter
or change the existing value. Once you have entered a value, press
<Enter>. Parameter changes are immediately activated on a Converteon
module.
Table 1. Menu Selection Options
When directed to You must
Select an option Highlight the option by pressing the Up ( ↑ ) or
Down ( ↓ ) arrow key; then press <Return>
or

Type the information and press <Return>.
Return to the previous
screen
Press <Esc> or select the “Return to...” option at
the bottom of the menu.
AT-S70 Management Software User’s Guide
21
Local Management Session
On the AT-CV5M01 CPM card installed in the chassis is a port labelled
“console”. You can use this port to establish a local (out-of-band)
management session with an AT-S70 management software.
A local management session is so named because you must be close to
the chassis, usually within a few meters, to start this type of management
session. This means you must be where the chassis is located.
A chassis does not need an IP address to be managed from a local
management session. You can start a local management session at any
time on any Converteon chassis in your network. A local management
session does not interfere with the flow of Ethernet traffic through the unit.
Starting a Local
Management
Session
To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect one end of a straight-through RS-232 cable with a DB-9
connector to the RS-232 Terminal Port on the AT-CV5M01 CPM card,
as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Connecting RS-232 Cable to AT-CV5M01 CPM’s Console Port
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RS-232 port on a terminal or
PC with a terminal emulator program.
3. Configure the terminal or terminal emulation program as follows:
Bits per second: 1200 bps to 115200bps (default 115200)
(see Note below)
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None

Chapter 2: Starting a Local or Telnet Management Session
22
Note
The Converteon chassis has an auto-detect feature on the serial
port that automatically determines the speed of the local terminal.
You activate this feature by pressing the Return or Enter key twice
on your keyboard when you initially start the local interface or within
five seconds after powering on or resetting the chassis. The chassis
determines the speed of the terminal and automatically configures
the speed of the “console” port accordingly. The chassis uses a data
rate of 11520000 bits per second (bps). The chassis maintains the
terminal port speed until the system is again powered ON or reset.
Note
The default settings for the terminal interface are for a DEC VT100
or ANSI terminal, or an equivalent terminal emulator program. Once
you have started an management session, you can change some of
these values.
4. Press <Return> key twice.
5. When prompted, enter a username and password.
To configure the chassis settings, enter “manager” as the
username. The default password for manager access is “friend”.
To just view the settings, enter “operator” as the username. The
default password for operator access is “operator”.
Usernames and passwords are case-sensitive.
For information on these two access levels, refer to “Management
Access Levels” on page 31.
For instructions on how to change a password, refer to “Manager and
Operator Passwords” on page 28.
After logging on, the Main Menu, as shown in Figure 2, is displayed.

You should always exit from a management session when you are finished
managing a chassis. This can prevent unauthorized individuals from
making changes to the configuration of a chassis would you leave your
management workstation unattended.
Note
You cannot operate both a local management session and a Telnet
management session on the same chassis simultaneously. You
cannot have any number of Telnet sessions running if there is a local
session running.Failure to properly exit from a local or Telnet
management session may block future management sessions.
Chapter 2: Starting a Local or Telnet Management Session
24
Telnet Management Session
You can use the Telnet application protocol from a workstation on your
network to manage a Converteon chassis. This type of management
session is referred to as remote management session because you do not
have to be physically close to the chassis to start the session, such as with
a local management session. Any workstation on your network that has
the application protocol can be used to manage the chassis.
In terms of functionality, there are almost no differences between
managing a chassis locally through the RS-232 terminal port and remotely
with the Telnet application protocol. You see the same menu selections
and have nearly the same management capabilities.
If the Converteon chassis is in a TCP/IP environment, remote
management is possible only after the chassis has been assigned an IP
address and subnet mask. Initially, this is accomplished by managing the
chassis locally through the RS-232 port.
Starting a Telnet
Management
Session
To start a Telnet management session, specify the IP address of the
chassis in the Telnet application protocol and enter a username and
password when prompted.
To configure a chassis settings, enter “manager” as the user name. The
default password for manager access is “friend”. To just view the settings,
enter “operator” as the username. The default password for operator
access is “operator”. User names and passwords are case sensitive. For
information on the two access levels, refer to “Management Access
Levels” on page 31.
The Main Menu of a Telnet management session is the same menu that
you see in a local management session, shown in Figure 2 on page 22.
Nearly all the functions from a local management session are available to
you from a Telnet management session. The menus also function the
same as with the local management session. To make a selection, refer to
“Using the Terminal Interface” on page 20.
Note
You can run only one Telnet management session on a Converteon
chassis at a time. Additionally, you cannot run both a Telnet
management session and a local management session on the same
chassis at the same time.
Note
You can have up to 10 sessions (1-manager and 9-operator)
running simultaneously.
AT-S70 Management Software User’s Guide
25
Quitting from a
Telnet
Management
Session
To end a Telnet management session, return to the Main Menu and type Q
for Quit.
You should always be sure to exit from a management session when you
are finished managing a Converteon chassis. This can prevent
unauthorized changes to a chassis’ configuration should you leave your
workstation unattended.
Note
You cannot operate both a local management session and a Telnet
management session on the same chassis simultaneously. You
cannot have any number of Telnet sessions running if there is a local
session running.Failure to properly exit from a local or Telnet
management session may block future management sessions.

Saving Your Parameter Changes
When changes are made to the chassis or to any of the line cards, the
changes (except for the system date and time) are immediately activated
and permanently saved onto the AT-CV5M01 CPM card as soon as you
enter them. These changes are retained by the CPM card even when the
chassis is reset or power cycled.
Saving the
Configuration
File Before
Replacing an
AT-CV5M01
CPM Card
When an AT-CV5M01 CPM is replaced, all the parameter settings saved
on the CPM card are gone. Therefore, to keep the current parameter
settings, make sure to upload the configuration file onto your computer or
laptop before replacing the AT-CV5M01 CPM card. Once a new
AT-CV5M01 CPM card is installed, you can then download the
configuration file back onto the new CPM card.
Note
The 'CPM Switch Over' option under the Administration menu will
be used in future feature sets. Additional hardware and system
configuration required for proper functionality.

Manager and Operator Passwords
The AT-S70 management software has two levels of management
access: Manager and Operator. The Manager account allows you to
configure all parameters of a Converteon chassis, while the Operator
account only allows you to view the parameter settings. The default login
name for Manager access is “manager” and the password is “friend”. The
default login name and password for Operator access are both “operator”.
Login names and passwords are case-sensitive.
Note
Once the password has been changed and is forgotten, you must
call Technical Support to have it reset back to the default password.
For Technical Support contact info, refer to “Contacting Allied
Telesyn” on page 12.
Configuring the
Management
Passwords
To prevent unauthorized access to the management program, you can
assign a password to the program. Any person who starts the interface will
be required to enter the password, regardless of how they access the
program (i.e., RS-232 port, Telnet, or SNMP management program). For
detailed information on the management program, refer to Chapter 1,

When Does a Converteon Chassis Need an IP Address?
One of the tasks to building or expanding a network is deciding which of
the managed chassis need a unique IP address. In the past, the rule was
that a managed chassis needed an IP address if you wanted to manage it
remotely, such as with the Telnet application protocol or a web browser.
However, if a network contained a lot of managed chassis, having to
assign each one an IP address was often cumbersome and time
consuming. It was also often difficult keeping track of all the IP addresses.
When you assign a chassis an IP address, you must also assign it a
subnet mask. The chassis uses the subnet mask to determine which
portion of an IP address represents the network address and which the
node address. You must also assign the chassis a gateway address if the
chassis and a remote management workstation are separated by a router.
This gateway address is the IP address of the router through which the
chassis and remote management workstation will communicate.
If you do not plan to remotely manage any of the Converteon Series
chassis in your network, you do not need to assign any of them an IP
address. The chassis can operate without an IP address and you will still
be able to manage them completely using local management sessions.
Assigning an IP
Address
Once you have decided which, if any, chassis on your network need an IP
address, you have to access the AT-S70 software on the chassis and
assign the addresses. There are actually two ways in which a chassis can
obtain an IP address.
The first method is for you to assign the IP configuration information
manually This procedure is explained in “Configuring the IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway” on page 38.
The second method is for you to activate the DHCP service on the
chassis and have the chassis automatically download its IP
configuration information from a DHCP server on your network. This
procedure is explained in “Enabling and Disabling DHCP” on page 40.
Note
Initially assigning an IP address to a chassis or activating DHCP can
only be done through a local management session.

2. From the System Configuration Menu, select the System Name field
and enter a unique name for the chassis.
The name can be up to 40 characters, including spaces and special
characters. If the system already has a name that you want to delete
without entering a new name, press the space bar once.
3. Press <Esc> or select the “Return to ...” option at the bottom of the
menu, to save the settings and return to the previous menu.
Note
Once the system name is entered and approved, it will be displayed
at the tope of every AT-S70 menu.
Setting the
System Date and
Time
Setting the system date and time is important if you configured the chassis
to send traps to your management workstations. If the time is not set,
traps do not contain the correct date and time. Therefore, it becomes
difficult for you to determine when the events represented by the traps
occurred.
One way to set the system date and time is manually setting it using the
AT-S70 software menu interface. When you set the date and time
manually, the chassis loses the values when it is reset or power cycled.
Therefore, you must reset the values whenever you reset the chassis.
To set the system’s date and time, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, select System Configuration. The System
Configuration Menu, as shown in Figure 5 on page 35, is displayed.
2. Adjust the following parameters as necessary:
System Date(mm/dd/yy)
Enter a date for the system in the “mm/dd/yy”. Use two numbers to
specify for the day, month, and year. Separate the values with slashes.
Select the System Time(hh:mm:ss)
Enter the new system real time in the “hh:mm:ss” format. Use two
numbers to specify for the hours, minutes, and seconds. Separate the
values with colons.
Note
If the AT-CV5M01 CPM card is reset or power cycled, the system
and time settings will be lost. You will need to re-enter the date and
time information.

Enabling and
Disabling DHCP
The DHCP application protocol was developed to simplify network
management. It is used to automatically assign IP configuration
information to the devices on your network, such as an IP address, subnet
mask, and a default gateway address.
Naturally, for this to work there must be a DHCP server residing on your
network and you must configure the service by entering in the MAC
address of the chassis.
DHCP services typically allow you to specify how the IP address is to be
assigned to the chassis. The choices are static and dynamic. If you
choose static, the server always assign the same IP address to the
chassis when the chassis is reset or powered ON. This is the preferred
configuration. Because the DHCP services always assign the same IP
address to a chassis, you will always know which IP address to use when
you need to remotely manage a particular chassis.
If you choose dynamic, the DHCP server assigns any unused IP address
that it has not already assigned to another device. This means that a
chassis might have a different IP address each time you reset or power
cycle the device, making it difficult for you to remotely manage the unit.
The default is disabled.
Note
Enabling DHCP overrides any IP configuration settings that you
manually assigned.
Note
The BOOTP, another protocol that performs an identical function, is
not available on the Converteon chassis.
AT-S70 Management Software User’s Guide

> Enable DHCP
Enables DHCP services on the chassis. If you enabled DHCP, you
must reset the chassis in order for the internal management module to
start issuing DHCP requests to obtain its IP configuration. The default
is enabled.
The Converteon chassis issues up to three requests for its IP
configuration from the DHCP server. If the DHCP server does not
respond, the chassis uses the assigned IP address, if one was
manually assigned.
4. Press <Esc> or select the “Return to ...” option at the bottom of the
menu, to save the settings and return to the previous menu.
Note
If you enable the DHCP client software, the chassis immediately
begins to query the network for a DHCP server. The chassis
continues to query the network for its IP configuration until it
receives a response.
Any static IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address assigned
to the chassis are deleted from the Administration menu and
replaced with the values the chassis receives from DHCP server. if
you later disable DHCP, these values are returned to their default
settings. For the default settings, refer to Appendix A, “AT-S70
Default Settings” on page 129.

Event Logs and Syslog Servers
This chapter describes how to view and clear the contents of the event
logs. The event logs that allow you to view chassis information. In addition,
it also discusses how to configure the syslog server address and facility
code. Sections in the chapter include:
“Event Log Overview” on page 64

Chapter 6: Event Logs and Syslog Servers

Event Log Overview
A managed Converteon media chassis is a complex piece of computer
that includes both hardware and software. Multiple software features
operate simultaneously, interoperating with each other and processing
large amounts of network traffic. It is often difficult to determine exactly
what is happening when a chassis appears not to be operating normally,
or what happened when the problem occurred.
A network manager’s major task is to monitor the system functions and to
deal with problems as they arise. One method for doing this is to view the
event messages that are generated by the chassis and sent to the event
log. This events can provide vital information about system activity on a
Converteon chassis that help you identify and solve system problems. The
event log includes the following information:
The date of an event
The time of an event
A message of the event
There are two ways that you can view a chassis’ event messages. The first
method is to view an event log. The second method is to have the chassis
send its events to a syslog server. The syslog server functions as a central
repository that stores events from many network devices simultaneously.
In order for a Converteon chassis to send its events to a syslog server, you
must define the syslog output. The syslog output includes the IP address
of the syslog server along with other information such as the types of event
messages you want the chassis to send to the syslog server.
Note
The event logs, even when disabled, log all AT-S70 initialization
events that occur when the chassis is reset and power cycled. Any
chassis events that occur after the AT-S70 initialization are entered
into the logs only if you enable the event log feature. The default
setting for the event log feature is enabled.

Setting Syslog Facility Code
This feature adds a facility code to the entries when they are sent to the
syslog server. The facility level is a way for you to add a numerical code to
each entry to help you group entries on the syslog server according to the
module or system that produced them. This grouping helps you determine
which events belong to which device when a syslog server is collecting
events from several network devices. You can specify only one facility
code.
To specify the facility code of the syslog server, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, select Administration.
The Administration Menu, as shown in Figure 24 on page 65, is
displayed.
2. From the Administration Menu, select Syslog Facility Code field and
enter the facility code of the syslog server.
There are two approaches to using this feature. The first is to use the
default code setting “0” which is based on the functional groupings
defined in the RFC 3164 standard. The numerical codes that are
applicable to the AT-S70 management software and its modules are
shown in Table 2.

operating modes:
Smart Missing Link Mode
This mode performs exactly the same function as MissingLinkTM with
one additional feature. When a link is lost on a port, the LK LED of the
port that still has a valid connection to its end-node starts to blink. This
allows you to quickly determine which port still has a valid connection
(LK LED blinking) and which port has lost its connection (LK LD off).
Missing Link Mode
This mode enables the ports on the media converter to pass the “Link”
status of their connections to each other. When the media converter
detects a problem on one of the ports, such as the loss of connection

to an end-node, the media converter shuts down the connection to the
other port, thus notifying the end-node that the connection has been
lost.
OAM BYPASS Mode
In this mode, the line card receives OAMPDU packets, but forwards
them onto the other port. This allows Converteon to be used in a
network where the Converteon chassis is not part of the IEEE802.3ah
end points. (i.e. in this mode, the OAM function of the media blade is
disabled). To configure as OAM bypass mode, the module will pass all
OAMPDUs whose vendor OUI is not Allied Telesyn.
OAM Visible Mode
In this mode, the line card does respond to OAMPDU packets. In an
unmanaged chassis, the line card will be in passive mode. In a
managed chassis, the line card can either be in passive or active mode
depending on how it is software configured. For detailed information,
refer to Table 3, “OAM Active and Passive Mode Behaviors” on page
89. To configure as OAM visible mode, the module will respond to all
OAMPDUs.
Link Test Mode
This is the default setting. The mode is to test the connections between
the line card ports and the end-nodes that are connected to the ports. If
a network problem occurs, you can perform a link test to determine
which port is experiencing a problem, and so be able to focus your
troubleshooting efforts on the cable and end-node where the problem
resides.

Operations, Administration, and
Maintenance (OAM)
This chapter describes the Operations, Administration, and Maintenance
(OAM) feature, which provides mechanism useful for monitoring link
operation such as remote fault indication and remote loopback control. In
general, OAM provides network operators the ability to monitor the
condition of the network and determine the location of the failing links or
fault conditions.
This chapter contains the following procedures:
“Overview” on page 87
“Configuring OAM Operations” on page 91
“Displaying OAM Information and Statistics” on page 96
“OAM Loopback Test” on page 105
“Sending OAM Variable Request” on page 109
AT-S70 Management Software User’s Guide
87
Overview
The Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) is a group of
functions that provides tools and utilities used to manage a network. The
OAM feature is 802.3ah-compliant and is used to provide network
indication, system configuration, performance monitoring, security
management, diagnostic functions and configuration. Each function in the
OAM feature is described below:
Operations: Coordinates actions between Administration and
Maintenance functions.
Administration: Coordinates administrative functions such as designing a
system or network, processing order, assigning addresses, tracking usage
and accounting.
Maintenance: Coordinates maintenance functions such as diagnosing
and troubleshooting system features that do not work as planned.
The advantage of this OAM feature is that you can monitor and
troubleshoot the network without having a technician on site.
With the SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 protocols, you can create community
groups and define SNMP manager IP addresses. SNMP has been known
as a flexible tool used for managing the Ethernet links and networks.
However, it does not offer some of the management functionalities
required by some networks, especially when the underlying network is in a
non-operational status. In this case, the 802.3ah OAM feature is a better
solution because it provides the management capabilities at every layer of
the network.
Note
Note that the 802.3ah OAM capabilities are not intended to replace
SNMP as a management utilities, but are there to enhance it.
The following functions are supported on some of the Converteon line
cards.
OAM Discovery OAM discovery function is used to exchange the information about OAM
entities capabilities, configuration and identity between the Converteon
line cards. The discovery process allows a local station to detect OAM
support on a remote station. Once the OAM support is detected on a
remote station, both ends of the link exchange OAM entities capabilities,
configuration, and identity information (such as mode, PDU size, loopback
support, etc.). If both stations are satisfied with the settings, OAM
discovery is enabled on the link. However, if one of the stations
experiences a link loss or fails to receive OAM Protocol Data Units
(OAMPDUs) for five seconds, the OAM discovery process will restart.
Chapter 8: Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM)
88
One important aspect of the IEEE 802.3ah OAM spec is that an OAM
entity may be in either Active or Passive mode.
Active Mode – Active-mode stations forward OAM communications
and can send queries and commands to a remote station.
Passive Mode – Passive-mode stations wait for the peer station to
forward OAM communications and then respond to commands and
queries. Generally, passive-mode do not initiate communications.
By default, the Converteon line card should come up in Passive mode for
OAM discovery (as per the IEEE 802.3ah). In order to initiate OAM
discovery, the line card needs to be configured in the Active mode by the
AT-CV5M01 CPM card. Therefore, if a line card is in a chassis with no
CPM card, it will come up in Passive mode.
The difference between the modes is that an OAM active-mode station
has more control on its peer than an OAM passive-mode station. For
example, an active-mode station can put a passive-mode station into
loopback mode, but not vice versa.
AT-S70 Management Software User’s Guide
89
Table 3 lists the OAM Active and OAM Passive mode behaviors.
OAMPDU Types
Two Ethernet ports use OAMPDU to exchange the OAM protocol. The
OAMPDUs use a specific multicast destination address and EtherType.
Most of the OAMPDU types are used to define a set of standard type-
length-value (TLV) encoding of attributes within the type. The OAMPDU
types are described below:
Information OAMPDUs – Information OAMPDUs are used for
discovery; they are variable-length OAMPDUs. There are three TLVs
for Information PDUs: Local Information, Remote Information, and
Organizational Specific. Local and Remote Information is used in the
discovery process. The Organizational Specific Information TLV is
used for vendor extensions.
Event OAMPDUs – Event OAMPDUs are used for link monitoring,
they are variable-length OAMPDUs. The data field in this event
OAMPDU contains a data field of one or more link event TLVs.
Loopback Control OAMPDUs – Loopback Control OAMPDUs are
used to provide the loopback command.
Variable Request/Response OAMPDUs – The Variable Request/
Response OAMPDUs accessible through OAM must be in the
Ethernet branch of the management information based (MIB) tree. For
more information, refer to “MIB Variable Retrieval and Extensions” on
page 90.

Chapter 8: Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM)
90
Organizational Specific OAMPDUs – Organizations Specific
OAMPDUs are used to define events that are of variable-length. They
are variable-length OAMPDUs and are distinguish by the Organization
Unique Identifier (OUI).
Unsupported OAMPDUs – Unknown/unsupported OAMPDUs are
used to send the PDUs to the OAM Client. This is different from typical
Ethernet (802.3x) behavior, which filtered unsupported opcodes.
OAM Remote
Loopback
OAM Remote loopback is used to test the link performance. This remote
loopback is most useful as a diagnostic tool, where it can be used to
identify problem segments in large network. It performs the testing of
segments and links by sending test frames thought the connections. When
in OAM remote loopback mode, the metrics such as delay, throughput, bit
error rate (BER), and jitter can be calculated to determine the overall
quality of a connection.
MIB Variable
Retrieval and
Extensions
The IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet OAM specs define a generic mechanism for
one OAM entity to query another entity for the value of any MIB variable.
MIB variables include all performance and error statistics maintained on
an Ethernet link. This capability provides a generic monitoring capability
for one station to monitor any parameter on another station for
performance or error detection.
The MIB Variable Extensions can be used to implement extra events such
as including additional information during discovery or even adding a
completely proprietary OAM protocol to the standard operation.

Initiating Loopback – The remote loopback has been initiated. The
local MAC Client stops sending data frames to the remote station
and the local OAM Client sets its action parameter to DISCARD.
The local OAM Client sends a Loopback Control OAMPDUs with a
non-zero loopback time.
Remote Loopback – This remote loopback allows the users to test
the link of the remote equipment. From the remote equipment,
every data frame received is transmitted back on that same port
except for the OAMPDUs and pause frames.
The loopback command is acknowledged by responding with an
information OAMPDU with the loopback state indicated in the state
field. OAMPDUs continue to be exchanged during loopback mode,
only data frames are looped back.

File Downloads and Uploads
This chapter describes how to download AT-S70 software image and
configuration updates and contains the following sections:
“File Uploads and Downloads Overview” on page 111
“File Download Guidelines” on page 112
“Downloading Software Image Files” on page 116
“Downloading Line Card Image Files” on page 121
“Downloading and Uploading Configuration File” on page 125
“Uploading Configuration Files” on page 127
Note the following before you begin the procedure:
You can download a new AT-S70 image file onto the chassis from
either a local or Telnet management session.
You can use Xmodem or TFTP to download the image file from a local
management session.
You must use TFTP to download the image file from a Telnet
management session.
To use TFTP, there must be a node on your network that contains the
TFTP server software, and the new AT-S70 image file must be stored
on that node.
If you are using TFTP, you should start the TFTP server before you
begin the download procedure.
Installing a new AT-S70 software image onto the chassis does not
change the current configuration; for example, its IP address, subnet
mask, and name (if already assigned).
Note
The chassis stops forwarding Ethernet traffic after it has downloaded
the image file and begun to initialize the software. Some network
traffic may be lost.
The following procedures assume that you have already obtained the new
software from Allied Telesyn and stored it on the management workstation
from which you will be performing the procedure, or on the TFTP server.
AT-S70 Management Software User’s Guide
111
File Uploads and Downloads Overview
The firmware on the Converteon chassis consists of the following three
parts:
AT-S70 management software
This is the operating software for the chassis.
AT-S70 bootloader
This code initially controls the chassis whenever you power ON or
reset the chassis.
System configuration
This contains the settings for the different system parameters.
Note
In the AT-S70, the management software and bootloader are
combined into one image file.
You can use the AT-S70 management software to download a new
version of the management software and bootloader onto a chassis so that
it always has the latest software.
Note
A configuration file for a Converteon chassis cannot be edited with a
text editor.
The methods for uploading and downloading files from a chassis are
described below:
Local Management Session
This method uses a local management session to upload and
download a file onto a chassis. This method supports Xmodem and
TFTP. You can use this method on any type of Converteon chassis.
Remote Management Session
Another method is from a remote management session of a chassis.
This can be a chassis you accessed directly through a Telnet
management session. This method uses TFTP.
Note
Occasionally, Allied Telesyn will update or revise the AT-S70
software. For more information on how to obtain the latest version of
the software updates, refer to “Obtaining Management Software
Updates” on page 13.
Chapter 9: File Downloads and Uploads
112
File Download Guidelines
This sections covers the general guidelines that apply to downloading files
from both local and remote management sessions. Refer to the sections
below for guidelines apply to each management session. The general file
downloading are:
If you are downloading a new AT-S70 software image, the current
configuration settings of the chassis (for instance, IP address and port
security settings) are not changed.
If you are downloading a new configuration file, the current
configuration settings of a chassis are overwritten by the configuration
settings contained in the file. This includes the IP address, subnet
mask, and DHCP status.
A configuration file should only be downloaded onto a chassis of the
same model from which the configuration file originated (for example,
AT-CV5000 to AT-CV5000). It is not recommended that you download
a configuration file onto a chassis with a different model (for example,
AT-CV5000 and AT-CV1200). Undesired system behavior may result.
Caution
Downloading a new AT-S70 image file or configuration file will cause
a chassis to reset. Some network traffic may be lost. However,
uploading a configuration file will NOT interrupt traffic.
Downloading
Files from a Local
Management
Session
Guidelines
This section contains the guidelines for downloading a new AT-S70
software image file or configuration file onto a chassis from a local
management session.
Note
To download a file through a Telnet management session, refer to
“Downloading Files from a Remote Management Session
Guidelines” on page 113.
All chassis models in the Converteon Series use the same
management software image.
You can use Xmodem or TFTP.

Downloading
Files from a
Remote
Management
Session
Guidelines
This section contains the procedure for downloading a new AT-S70
software image file or configuration file onto a chassis from a remote
management session. The remote unit can be a chassis where you
started a Telnet management session.
Here are guidelines that apply to downloading files from a local
management session:
You must use TFTP to remotely download a file.
There must be a node on your network that contains the TFTP server
software. The AT-S70 image file or configuration file to be downloaded
must be stored on the computer or a terminal connected to the console
port on the AT-CV5M01 CPM card.
You must start the TFTP server before you begin the download
procedure.
The chassis where you are downloading the file must have an IP
address and subnet mask.
Downloading
Files using
Hilgraeve
HyperTerminal
To perform the file transfer using the Hilgraeve HyperTerminal.
1. From the HyperTerminal main window, select the Transfer menu.
2. Select Send File from the pull-down menu, as shown in Figure 42.

The download begins. If you are downloading a configuration file, the
chassis automatically resets once the download is complete. Some
network traffic may be lost during the system reset.
Caution
When downloading a chassis image file, the chassis must initialize it
by decompressing it and writing it to FLASH. This requires several
minutes to complete. Do not reset or power off the unit while it is
decompressing the file.
