KM-2100/2104 Edit Configuration Mode Operations This chapter describes the edit configuration operating procedures for the Kilomux–2100/2104.
1. Performing Mux Configuration Operations
The Edit Configuration mux is used to design configuration modifications, without interfering with on-going Kilomux-2100/2104 activities. After configurations have been validated, they can be downloaded to the Kilomux-2100/2104 unit, at which point they appear in the Agent mux display.
This chapter provides detailed information about using the Edit Configuration mux display.
Figure 1. Kilomux 2100 Edit Configuration Mode
To select the Edit Configuration mode
• In the Kilomux View, click the border of the top hub in the window.
Table 1 lists the different management options for the system level.

Table 2. Mux Information Parameters (Cont.)
Parameter Possible Values / Remarks
Mode Defines type of switched channel
ISDN, PSTN Note: If one of the ML-B slots contains a KML.10 card, Mode must be ISDN. If one of the ML-B slots contains a KML.1..KML.4 card, Mode must be ISDN or PSTN. If one of the ML-B slots contains a card other than KML.1..KML.4 or KML.10 card it is an error. Select PSTN (Public Switched Channel Network) when analog modems are required. Select ISDN (Integrated Service Digital Network) when direct connection to a B channel of a basic rate ISDN line, using an external NTU device, is required
Dial Timeout Specifies the maximum time the system will wait for connection to the Switch Backup mode. If this time expires, the connection attempt is aborted and an alarm message is generated. 30, 45, 60 or 120 seconds.
*Master Clock Src Type and Fallback Src Type are not available if one of the following ML combinations exists: DTE/DTE, DTE/INT, DTE/LBT, INT/DTE, INT/INT, INT/LBT, LBT/INT, LBT/DTE, LBT/INT, LBT/LBT
For KML.11 card, when Timing=Adaptive the Timing will be considered the same as DTE regarding restrictions in ML combinations.
For the KM2100, if ML Mode is Single, the Timing for the non-active ML will be DTE.
If the ML Timing of both ML in all configurations is not DCE or E-DCE, and if the timing is changed to DCE or E-DCE then the Master Clock Src Type will change to Internal and the Fallback Src Type will change to be None in the DB for all configurations.
Modifying the Backup Agenda Schedule
The Backup Agenda tab enables definition of the daily schedule for the Switch Backup mode.
Separate schedules can be defined for each day of the week. Each 24-hour period includes up to four independent time zones, defined by starting and ending times (hours and minutes). However, it is not necessary to define all four time zones. Any number of times zones may be defined to cover a 24-hour period. For each zone, the Switch Backup mode may be enabled or disabled.
Note

The Backup Agenda tab is only available when ML Mode is Switch Backup.
To modify the backup agenda:
1. Select the Backup Agenda tab in the Mux Information dialog box.
2. Select the day of the week to be modified.
3. Select the start and end times. The start time for zone 1 is fixed at 00:00 and the end time for zone 4 is fixed at 23:59.
4. Flag the specified zone to enable or disable the Switch Backup link.

Configuring ISDN Auto Switch Triggers
You select which IO cards will initiate the call. The call is initiated automatically by one of the IO cards connected to the KML.10 for the following conditions:
• Switch Mode = Auto
• ISDN Mode = Switched
• Call Mode = Initiate
The selection can be different for each Database. It is the user’s responsibility to redefine the triggers if the IO card in the slot is replaced. Only the following cards can be selected as the trigger:
• Data Cards (call initiated by RTS=On): KLS.1/New, KHS.1, KHS.2, KMBE/NEW.
• Voice cards: All KVF.4 cards

The field 'Echo Canceller' of KVC.1M is relevant only when a specific HW component exists on the card. Nevertheless, RADview enables configuring this field to ON (in Edit view) even if not supported by the HW, and the KM2100 does not reject the value, and shows ON in Agent view. As a result, the user has no indication (in RADview) that this HW component is missing. Therefore, setting the Echo Cancellation option via RADview takes effect only if the installed module is actually equipped with an Echo Cancellation board.

For KVF.4/FXO3, the following rules apply to the Inband/Outband Signaling roles:
When Inband value exists, only one field from each group (Receive or Transmit) should have Inband A/B.
When Outband value exists, two fields from receive group and the same two fields from the transmit group should have Outband values.
Additionally, in each group, Outband values should not be the same.
For example, Outband values might be Outband (A) and Outband (B). However, Outband (A) and Outband (A) are not allowed.

5. Introduction
The Agent mux is used to display current system, card and channel configurations. This information is used for comparison and analysis when preparing a configuration in the Edit Configuration mux. In addition, diagnostics, fault and masking operations are performed from the Agent mux.
This chapter provides detailed information about using the Agent mux display.
To select the Agent Configuration mode:

13. Release Notes
Windows Layering
Open windows will not be ON TOP of the application. Windows always jump behind the application, where the cursor is. The Kilomux application is designed so that as long as there are open windows (and some might be hidden by others), the user is not allowed to perform other actions.
Menu Positions
The menus of the application’s menu bar (such as ‘Configuration’ and ‘Help’) are sometimes opened in the upper left hand corner of the screen instead of below the menu name. Closing the application and reopening it solve this problem.
Interface Info Parameters – KCL.2
The parameters ‘Call Out Mode’, ‘Rate(bps)’, ‘Data Bits’ and ‘Parity’ are not accepted by the Agent (without warning) during Update operation. In KCL.2 ETH card, the Interface Info dialog box is disabled, so all parameters cannot be modified in [Edit] view.
Channel Tests
There is no way to perform more than one test in parallel, on the same channel.
Error Message
Rarely, without any seen reason, an error message appears: “Error: can’t set “helpvar”: Bad object”, with [OK], [Skip Messages] and [Stack Trace] buttons. The easy way to recover from this problem is to press <OK>, close the zoom application and reopen it.
