Board ID 

Number of the slot in which the board is located, except for the Ethernet board and other accessory boards, which are assigned a virtual slot number. 

Board Type 

One of the following board types occupying a physical or virtual slot: 

Quad T1 Contains four T1 line ports and can include 98 modems. 

Tri E1 Contains three E1 line ports amd can contain 98 digital modems. 

System Manager Contains a 10Mbps Ethernet connection and two asynchronous console ports. 

Ethernet Contains a 10/100Mbps Ethernet connection. 

OS Version 

Version of ComOS that is used for a particular board.

Serial Number 

Serial number of the board. 

Slot 

An integer between 0 and 10 that specifies a physical or virtual slot in the PortMaster 4 chassis. Details 

Power 

If enabled, power is being supplied to a specified slot. 

PRI Switch Type 

ISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI) switch type. Details 

Assigned Address 

First address in a pool of consecutive temporary IP addresses to be allocated by the PortMaster. This setting enables network login users to use assigned address pools. 

Assigned Pool Size

Number (from 0 to 96) of IP addresses in the address pool. A 0 pool size prevents any IP address assignments from the pool. 

Status

Indicates whether the board is up or down.

Clocking

Sets the source for the clock signal for a multiplexor board and its line.

Internal Sets the multiplexor (MUX) board to generate a clock signal for the line.

External Built-in digital service unit (DSU) channel service unit (CSU) extracts the clock signal from the line. This is the default.

Plane Clocking

Allows the line cards to receive their clocking signal with the T3 MUX card through the backplane.

Line Loop

Enables a multiplexor (MUX) board to provide or disable it from providing the clock signal to the PortMaster 4 backplane. If enabled, this board provides docking to the other installed line boards. If this feature is enabled, Clocking must be set to External.

When sielected, enables the PortMaster 4 to perform diagnostic loopback tests on an entire multiplexor line.
