Man-Machine Interface
The lineside T1 card provides an optional Man-Machine Interface (MMI) that
is primarily used for T1 link performance monitoring and problem diagnosis.
The MMI provides alarm notification, T1 link performance reporting and
fault isolation testing. The interface is accessed through connections from the
I/O panel to a terminal or modem.
The MMI is an optional feature since all T1 configuration settings are
performed through dip switch settings or preconfigured factory default
settings.
