3.15. LineAdmin

LineAdmin puts lines into service so you can run many of the other diagnostic utilities. LineAdmin, like Alarms, is used for sending and monitoring the alarm states on a T-1 or E-1 line but LineAdmin is recommended as a more useful tool.

A flexible logging feature is available that includes the ability to log the status of the DM3 trunks and alarm conditions. For Linux systems, this utility also has the ability to re-initialize itself after every board download (based on a reset command from the user).

Operating Systems: Windows, Linux

Command Line: lineadmin [parameter_list]

The LineAdmin utility uses the following command line parameters:

Parameters	Description
-board <n>	Board number (required). Use the Listboards utility to obtain the board number.
-line <n>	Line number (optional, default is 1)
-lines {n n+ ...}	Line numbers. This parameter is used when more than 1 line is monitored (optional, default is {1 2 3 4})
-advanced <n>	The presence or absence of the following alarms on the line: AIS, CRC, and D-Channel
-ts16 <n>	The presence or absence of the following alarms on the Timeslot 16 of an E-1 trunk: Red Alarm, Yellow Alarm, and AIS
-log <filename>	Output log file (optional)

Example: This example runs the LineAdmin utility on board 1, lines 1, 2, 3, and 4:

 lineadmin -board 1 -lines {1 2 3 4}

Display: Figure 22 shows the LineAdmin display. The display shows four trunks (a QuadSpan product). The alarm setting is on the left and the alarm indicators are on the right.
