Setting Configuration Parameters
•
ML_MODE
- When the MX-2100 includes two KML modules, you must
define how to use the modules:
−
SINGLE - Single main link operation.
−
REDUND - The two KML modules operate as a redundant pair.
−
DUAL
LNK - The two KML modules provide two independent links.
−
PRI BMP - The two KML modules provide two parallel links with priority
bumping.
−
SW BACK - One of the KML modules serves as the main link and the other
module serves as a switched backup link.
−
SWITCH - Single main link over an ISDN line.
−
DUAL SWITCH - Two main links over an ISDN line.
−
SINGLE and SWITCH - One main link operation and one main link over an
ISDN line.
Only the SINGLE and REDUND modes can be actually configured from the front
panel. The other modes appear only for compatibility with the supervision terminal.
If one of the other modes is selected, you will see CONFIG ERROR 19.
If the MX-2100 is equipped with only one KML module, and you are trying to select
any mode except SINGLE, you will see CONFIG ERROR 51.
•
ACTIVE_ML
- When redundancy is enabled, you must specify the active KML
module:
−
AUTO - Automatic selection of active module, in accordance with the
redundancy switch-over criteria. The module is selected as default after
power-up is KML-A.
−
ML-A - Module KML-A is selected as the active module. Redundancy is
disabled.
−
ML-B - Module KML-B is selected as the active module. Redundancy is
disabled.
You can use the ML-A and ML-B selections to enforce the selection of a certain
active module, and then enable again the redundancy function by selecting AUTO.
