1 Introducing the Network Access
Agent I
What is the Network Access Agent I ?
The Network Access Agent I (NAA I) is a device that allows monitoring and
testing of SONET, ATM, and T-Carrier facilities. Each NAA I contains an East
and West nest that can operate simultaneously. Communication and control of
these nests occurs using the Remote Access Manager software over an Ethernet or
serial dial connection.
The two major components of the NAA I are the:

■ NAA I Hardware
– Consists of the rackmounted unit that contains a backplane, redundant
power supply, communications cards, and Network Protocol Processors
(NPPs) that create an East and West NAA I nest. The bundling of this
hardware is known as the Network Access Agent I system. An NAA I
system installs into either a 19-inch or 23-inch telco equipment rack.
■ Remote Access Manager Software
– Software that loads onto a Microsoft® Windows® 95 workstation or a
Windows NT® 4.0 server or workstation and communicates directly to
the NAA I hardware through a LAN or serial connection. For information
about the Remote Access Manager software, refer to the ASA 312
Network Information Computer and Remote Access Manager User’s
Guide, CO 003202.
The minimum configuration of an NAA I contains:

■ Two redundant power supplies
■ A DS1 Network Protocol Processor (typically installed in the West nest)
■ One of the following communications methods:
– An Ethernet Hub Card
– A serial communications method (for example, a dial modem)
– A Controller Card and X.25 Card (for TL1 or X.25 communications)

Configuring the TL1 Agent Software

During initial installation of the NAA I, you must configure the TL1 Agent
software. As an Administrator, you will use TL1 commands to:
– Login to the NAA I
– Change the TL1 Agent’s default password
– Assign new user logins and passwords
This section contains TL1 commands necessary to configure the TL1 Agent
during initial product installation.
Refer to the NAA I TL1 Agent Command Reference Guide, CO 001195, for
details about the NAA I’s supported TL1 commands, and the proper syntax
for these TL1 commands.
NOTE ➤
In the following procedure, the Telnet application available in Microsoft
➤
Windows NT is used to create a session with the NAA I.
Logging In to the NAA I
To log in to the NAA I:

1. Start the Telnet application.
2. Enter the default log in. For example, type:
root
Enter the default password. For example, type:
rootpass
You are now logged on to the NAA I as an Administrator.
Creating a New Password and Setting

the System Date and Time
After initially logging in to the NAA I, change the Administrator password and set
the Controller Card’s date and time.
1. To change the Administrator password, run the password command. For
example, type:
passwd
The new password prompt appears.
Enter a new password. For example, type:
Password: <newrootpassword>
A confirmation message appears.
6-7
2. Next, set the date and time for the Controller Card’s software clock using the
system’s date command. (The date command is accessible to Administrator
users only.)
date day month year hour minute [am | pm]
For example, enter:
date 21 11 99 07 16 pm
the new date and time appears:
Wed Nov 21 19:16:45 est
3. Use the clock synchronization command to synchronize the Controller Card’s
hardware clock with its software clock. For example, type:
rtc -s hw
The two clocks are now synchronized.
IMPORTANT ➤
From this point forward, you must create a new Administrator password, and
then create login and password parameters for new users.
The following section contains TL1 commands necessary to configure the TL1
Agent during initial product installation.
Refer to the NAA I TL1 Agent Command Reference Guide, CO 001195, for
details about the NAA I’s supported TL1 commands, and the proper
➤
syntax for these TL1 commands.
Starting and Logging In to the TL1 Agent

The following describes how to start and then log in to the TL1 Agent.
1. At the command prompt, start the TL1 Agent. For example, type:
tl1
The TL1 command prompt appears.
2. Use the ACT-USER TL1 command to log in to the TL1 Agent software as an
Administrator.
For example, type:
ACT-USER::root:ctag::rootpass;
where,
root is the default Administrator user identifier (uid)
ctag is the Correlation tag parameter
rootpass is the default Administrator password (pid)
6-8
Changing the Password and Creating New User Accounts

The following describes how to create a new password and how to create new user
accounts using TL1 commands.
1. Use the ED-USER-SECU command to change the Administrator’s password.
For example, type:
ED-USER-SECU::root::new-pid=newpass;
The new Administrator password is newpass.
2. Use the ED-TID command to enter a new target ID code.
For example, type:
ED-TID:::::new-tid=DLI;
The new TID is DLI.
3. Use the ENT-USER-SECU command to create a new login for a user.
For example, type:
ENT-USER-SECU::uid:::pid,uap;
where,
uid is the new user identifier
pid is the new user password
uap is the user access privilege
4. Issue the CANC-USER command to close the current session.
This concludes configuration of the TL1 Agent software.
For more information regarding TL1 commands, refer to the NAA I TL1 Agent
Command Reference Guide, CO 001195.
