MIF addresses

A "full address" specifies a specific entity and consists of the full syntax shown below. A "partial address" does not include the <name> attribute.

Entities are addressed using this syntax:

<slot><port>.<type>.<entry>.<name>

For example:

103.DIAL.1.Data Svc

These are the attributes in the address syntax:

• <slot>

  This attribute contains the one-digit slot number of the addressed entity; 1 in the example address shown above. For most addresses, the slot number of the addressed entity is identical to the first digit of the menu number of the standard user interface.

• <port>

  This attribute contains the two-digit port number of the addressed entity; 03 in the example address shown above. For most addresses, the port number of the addressed entity is identical to the 2nd and 3rd digits of the menu number of the standard user interface.

• <type>

  This attribute contains the type of the addressed entity. The defined types are listed below, and are described in detail in "Lexical sequence of MIF types" .

  • ALARM (Line alarm indications

  • BRIDGE (Bridge Adrs Profile)

  • CONN (Answer and Connection Profiles)

  • DEST (Destination Profiles)

  • DIAG (System Diagnostics)

  • DIAGN (Line Diagnostics)

  • DIAL (Call Profiles)

  • DO (DO Command Menu)

  • ETHERNET (Ethernet Profile)

  • FILT (Filter Profiles)

  • FR (Frame Relay Profiles)

  • HOST2 (Host-Interface Profile for Host/Dual modules)

  • HOST4 (Host-Interface Profile for Host/Quad modules)

  • HOST6 (Host-Interface Profile for Host/6 modules)

  • LINE (Line Profiles)

  • LMODEM (LAN Modem Profiles)

  • LOOP (Port Diagnostics (loopback)

  • PORT (Port Profile)

  • ROUTE (Route Profiles)

  • SEC (Security Profiles)

  • STAT (Status Menu)

  • SWAN (Serial WAN Profile) (currently not supported)

  • SYS (System Profile)

  • TRAP (SNMP Traps Profiles)

  • V110 (V.110 Profiles)

• <entry>

  Where multiple versions of the <type> exist, such as Line Profiles, 0 is the current (default) entry, 1 is the first entry saved after the current entry, etc. For items that do not support multiple entries, such as the Port profile or the DO Menu, <entry> is coded as zero. Addresses without an <entry> signify the factory version of the <type> profile.

• <name>

  This attribute contains the name of the addressed entity. The <name> component of an address is derived from, but not identical to the parameter names as used in the standard user interface. Every attribute has a name and a value.

MIF commands

• LOAD <partial address>

• SAVE <partial address>

• GET <full or edit address>

• NEXT <address>

• SET <full or edit address>=<value>

MIF responses

:

The GET and NEXT commands return a value in this syntax:

+ <address>=<value>

For example,

: GET 201.DIAL.16.Call Type

+ 201.DIAL.16.Call Type=AIM

The plus-sign indicates a returned value or an error. All commands return the following when invalid:

+ ERROR

The SET command also responds with a prompt (:), except when it is applied to a status or alarm entity, in which case it creates a trap that is reported in this syntax:

- <address>=<value>

For example,

: SET 100.ALARM.0.alarm=20

- 100.ALARM.0.alarm=LA

:

The minus-sign indicates an asynchronous report. See "MIF traps and asynchronous reports" .

Loading and saving entities

<name>

The LOAD commands loads a profile into the edit area. It uses this syntax:

LOAD <partial address>

For example,

: LOAD 201.PORT.0

When the profile has been loaded into the edit area, you can modify it, using only the SET command, for example:

: SET Port Name=Chicago #1

When you have finished modifying the profile, save it. The SAVE command copies the profile in the edit area to the specified address. It uses this syntax:

SAVE <partial address>

For example,

: SAVE 201.PORT.0

Getting an entity's current value

The GET command returns the value of the addressed attribute. When the addressed attribute is a parameter in the standard user interface, the value returned by GET is a parameter value. When the addressed attribute is a status window in the standard user interface, all lines in the status window are returned.

The GET command uses this syntax:

GET <full or edit address>

For example, the following GET command uses a full address:

: GET 201.DIAL.16.Call Type

+ 201.DIAL.16.Call Type=AIM

Or, if the profile has already been LOADed into the edit area, use this syntax:

: LOAD 201.DIAL.16

: GET Call Type

+ 201.DIAL.16.Call Type=AIM

Getting the address and value of the next entity

<name> within <entry>

<entry> within <type>

<type> within <port>

<port> within <slot>

The NEXT command uses this syntax:

NEXT <full address>

For example:

: NEXT 000.DIAL.1.Data Svc

+ 000.DIAL.1.Base Ch Count=1

Modifying parameter values

The SET command replaces the current value of the entity with the <value> given in the command. In this context, it uses this syntax:

SET <edit address>=<value>

When the address refers to a parameter in a profile, the SET command accepts only an edit address. So, the profile must already be LOADed into the edit area. For example:

: LOAD 201.PORT.0

: SET Port Name=Chicago #1

: SAVE 201.PORT.0

:

Note: The SET command does not replace the parameter's value until you use the SAVE command.

To SET an enumerated parameter (such as Yes or No), the <value> must be identical to the enumerated value in the standard Ascend user interface. However, the specified value is not case-sensitive. For example, you can use either one of these commands:

: SET 100.DIAGN.0.Clr Err1=Yes

: SET 100.DIAGN.0.Clr Err1=yes

You can also apply the SET command to status and alarm entities, as described in the next section.

MIF traps and asynchronous reports

SET <full address>=<value>

The <value> established in the SET command sets the time period in seconds between status checks. For example,

: SET 100.ALARM.0.alarm=20

- 100.ALARM.0.alarm=LA

:

Reports are generated only whenever a change is detected in the requested status window components or whenever an alarm occurs. If the <value> in the SET command is 0, asynchronous reports are not generated.

Lexical sequence of MIF types

Types are listed alphabetically. The following format is used:

<address>=<value>

For example, the Remote Mgmt type can be set to Yes or No. It appears in the system profile (SYS) at the following MIF address:

000.SYS.0.Remote Mgmt

So, it is listed in this section like this:

000.SYS.0.Remote Mgmt=Yes,No

Comments are set off by parentheses(), as shown below for the Clr Err1 type that can be SET but not read:

100.DIAGN.0.Clr Err1=Yes (write only)

If the type does not have enumerated values, the type of values it can take are given in italics as in the following two examples:

000.SYS.0.Name=text

000.SYS.0.Status 1=XN-n00 (menu number for a status screen)

Note: The menu numbering shown in this section reflects the standard MAX whose base system slot 2 has a Host/Quad module. This differs from the MAX 4000, whose base system slot 2 has a Net/T1 module. Furthermore, the base system of the MAX 4000 has slot 9 (the Ethernet module), slot A (an Ether-Data module), and slot B (a Serial WAN module), while slots 9, A, and B do not exist on the standard MAX.

The slot and port of most addresses are given explicitly; however, in some cases they are represented by spp, where s is the slot number and pp is the port number. For example, either one of the following two commands may be used:

000.SYS.0.Name=text

spp.SYS.0.Name=text

ALARM

s00.ALARM.n.alarm= (write)

For BRI models:

100.ALARM.n.alarm= (write)

For Switched-56 models:

100.ALARM.n.alarm= (write)

Note:

• Do not exceed 32,000 seconds when using SET to write to these addresses

• s00.ALARM.n...

  s = 1 (Multiband Plus and Pipeline 100/400)

  s = 1 or slot number of a T1/PRI or E1/PRI module (MAX)

  n = the line number minus 1. Namely, n=0 is line #1, n=1 is line #=2, etc.

• Alarm definitions for T1/PRI lines are as follows:

  • DS (Line disabled)

  • RA (Red Alarm, loss of sync)

  • YA (Yellow Alarm)

  • 1S (AIS, Blue alarm)

  • DF (No D channel)

  • LA (Link Active)

• Alarm definitions for BRI/Switched 56 lines are as follows:

  • - (Line disabled)

  • X (No physical link)

  • P (Link active, BRI point-to-point)

  • M (Link active, BRI multipoint 1)

  • D (Line active, BRI multipoint 2)

  • A (Line active, switched 56)

Report status of the "100.ALARM.0.alarm" entity every 20 seconds if change occurs:

: SET 100.ALARM.0.alarm=20

- 100.ALARM.0.alarm=LA

Note:

• n can range from 0 through 96 for the FDL Status Screens. If n is 0, the last 24 hours are reported. 1 through 96 refer to the 15 minute time intervals occurring during the last 24 hours, with 1 being the most recent interval.

• Do not exceed 32,000 seconds when using SET to write to these addresses

• The GET command returns a multiple-line <value> when applied to a Status Screen <address>. Output from a status request is almost identical to the status display using the native mode user interface. The difference is that displays that would scroll (000.STAT.0.Sys Option, 100.STAT.0.Line Errors, etc.) have all lines listed. Each line of the multi-line response is separated by a <CR><LF> pair. Multi-line output is indicated by starting the value field of the response with a <CR><LF> pair.

• When you apply SET to CDR, all events that occurred during the time period are displayed. This is unlike other traps generated by SET. For example, SET 201.STAT.0.Port Leads=20 compares the Port Info screen at the beginning to the end of the 20 sec. time period; and if there is a difference, only the current Port Leads is displayed.

Command line basics

• Command Line Length

  The maximum command line is limited to 76 characters. Data entered after the 76th character is ignored and not echoed to the screen. The line is not terminated until a Line Termination is entered.

• Command Echo

  All data entered by the user except the line termination character will be echoed back to the user, character by character.

• Line Terminations

  Lines are terminated by either a Return (ASCII <CR>), or a Line Feed (ASCII <LF>), or both. When either is first received, the sequence <CR>-<LF> is echoed. An <LF> following a <CR> does not result in an additional <CR>-<LF> being echoed. The Line Termination character may be entered at any point on the line; the entire line is accepted.

• Prompt

  The display of a prompt is an explicit acknowledgment that the previous entry has been processed and that the system is now ready to process the next request.The default prompt is a colon (:).

• Output Indicators

  To make it easier for a computer program to parse, all output lines are prefixed with either an output indicator, namely plus (+) or minus (-). There are two indicators used.

  The plus indicator (+) is used when the output is a response to a previous command. Multi-line responses start each line with the output indicator.

  The minus indicator (-) is used when the output is the result of an asynchronous event.

Editor basics

• Line History

  The last 10 lines entered are kept. Whenever a line is entered the oldest kept line is thrown away. The stack is initialized empty at power up. Previous lines can be selected using the line selection characters. When a previous line is selected, the newly edited line replaces the selected line. That line becomes the newest line.

• Line Selection Characters

  There are two line selection characters, one to walk backwards through the Line History and another to walk forward through the Line History. When the oldest entry is selected while walking backwards through the line history, the next backward selection selects the newest line entered. When the newest entry is selected while walking forward through the line history, the next forward selection selects the oldest line.

  The backward line selection character is either a VT100 up arrow (the Escape sequence ESC-[-A) or the control character ^P. The P is mnemonic for Previous.

  The forward line selection character is either a VT100 down arrow (the escape sequence ESC-[-B) of the control character ^N. The N is mnemonic for Next.

  If you enter a Line selection character while editing a line, the current line is replaced by the current line -- any edits in progress are lost.

  The cursor is positioned at the end of the selected line.

• Cursor movement

  The cursor can be moved within a line by entering the Cursor Left character or the Cursor Right character. The Cursor Left character is ignored when the cursor is at the first character of a line. The Cursor Right character is ignored when the cursor is one position to the right of the last character of the line.

  The Cursor Left character is either a VT100 left arrow (the escape sequence ESC-[-D) or the control character ^B. The B is mnemonic for Backward.

  The Cursor Right character is either a VT100 right arrow (the escape sequence ESC-[-C) or the control character ^F. The F is mnemonic for Forward.

• Line Editing

  The current line can be edited until the Line Termination character is entered. Line editing is always in "insert" mode; the character typed will be entered before the cursor and any characters starting from the cursor to the end of the line will be shifted right one position. If the insertion causes the line to exceed the maximum line length the last (rightmost) character is dropped. Cursor movement and line selection commands are processed as described above. The backspace character deletes the character behind the cursor. When a backspace is received at the beginning of a line it is ignored.
