GENERAL The operation of the DM 34 Multiplex Equipment is controlled using the Service Terminal via the service interface. With the Service Terminal, the basic equipment settings can be set into the non-volatile memory, service functions, e.g. loop-backs, can be performed, or the state and alarm data of the equipment can be read, etc. If the service interfaces are connected into a bus and the buses further into a service network by means of the data channel, all equipment con nected to the bus or network can be remote-controlled from one point using the Service Terminal (or the TMS Transmission Management Sys tem, see the corresponding operating handbooks). All the transmission management functions which can be performed with the Service Terminal are dealt with in this description. The functions are menu based and the menus have 1...4 levels. The service menus of the equipment are accessed using the Service Ter minal menu Select operation.
Select operation: 1 Fault display 2 Local alarm cancel 3 Reset local cancel 4 Identifications 5 Controls (temporary) 6 Settings (permanent) 7 Measurements 8 Statistics 9 Testing 10 User privileges 11 Miscellaneous

In the following, there is first a short description of each item in this menu and then the service menus of the equipment and their use are described in detail. 1 Fault display Indicates the equipment name, alarm states, main system and tributary states, and possible faults in plain language. 2 Local alarm cancel Removes rack alarms A and B caused by the equipment. D alarm is ob tained as a reminder of the cancellation.

THIRD ORDER MULTIPLEX EQUIPMENT Operation with Service Terminal 21.3.1994

3 Reset local cancel Cancellation of the above function. 4 Identifications Displays the equipment identifications. Some of the identifications can be changed by the user. 5 Controls (temporary) Controls (loop-backs etc.) to be used temporarily e.g. in fault location. 6 Settings (permanent) Settings by means of which the equipment is controlled permanently to certain operating states. They are stored into a non-volatile memory and they are not removed by power outages. 7 Measurements Measurements performed by the equipment itself without measurement instruments. (In the DM 34 the supply voltage measurements). 8 Statistics For reading and resetting the statistics compiled by the equipment. 9 Testing Tests performed by the equipment itself. 10 User privileges For protecting the transmission management functions of the equipment. 11 Miscellaneous Not in use.

9,7 EEPROM-test The data on settings and identifications are stored in three copies in the EEPROM. The program continuously compares these copies of data and if one deviates from the others, it is automatically corrected to be the same as the others. The corrections are counted by a special counter and if the number exceeds 10000, the answer of the test will be: Too many corrections in EEPROM If the correction does not succeed, i.e. the data will not remain in storage, the answer of the test will be: EEPROM failed If the correction succeeds, the answer will be: OK

User privileges
User privileges: 1 Password for privileges 2 PIN for privileges 3 Cancel privileges 4 Setting parameters

10,1 Password for privileges When the password is known and one wishes to change protected func tions, the password can be given here whereupon the protection is re moved for the set period of time. The equipment prompts:
Give password: 1...7 char

Write e.g.: pass123 <RET>

THIRD ORDER MULTIPLEX EQUIPMENT Operation with Service Terminal 21.3.1994

DM 34 Page 28

10,2 PIN for privileges When the PIN signal is used for removing the protection, the pin c1 (PIN) of the service connector P1 has to be grounded, e.g. to pin b1. Connect the PIN to ground momentarily when the equipment prompts:
Ground local PIN

This method can always be used even though also a password were in use (or if it has been forgotten).

10,3 Cancel privileges The privileges are in effect during the entire monitoring time if they are not cancelled with this command, for example, when maintenance is fin ished.

10,4 Setting parameters

The answer to option 0 is one of the menu texts.

10,4,2,1 No protections This option removes the protections in which case no password or PIN signal connection is required for making controls and settings.

10,4,2,2 Password required This option causes that the next time when a connection is established to the equipment the password has to be known or PIN signal has to be used if one wishes to change settings or make controls. The option requires that a password has been set for the equipment, see 10,4,3.

10,4,2,3 Local PIN required If this option has been selected, the settings and controls cannot be changed with any other means except by connecting PIN to ground (see 10,2).
