Well, first you need a copy of TotalControl Manager. If you don't have it,
then you should be able to d/l a copy from the USR tech support site (if you
have a service contract). We originally paid upwards of a grand for the
software.
Then you open it, and create a new connection for the terminal server you
are working on. The IP address you use for this is that of the Network
Management Card (NMC) rather than the NetServer card.
When the SNMP software finishes discovering everything it can about your
device, it will show you a picture of your device.
Click on the active span light on the PRI card and you will get a screen
where you can select the various options to modify for this particular span.
When you are done making changes, you SET the SNMP changes (using the SET
button) and then if you are happy with the results, save the configureation
to NVRAM using the Command button.
This is kind of a rough outline of what you need. When you d/l the softare,
it should come with PDF manuals that will help more.

Best of luck!

No. I'm not even sure what the procedure for using TCM is. I'm
missing most of the software documentation, the only stuff I have is the
line interface docs and the hardvare configuration.
Can you explain how that goes?

Thanx,
