Before configuring the modem, consider the options in the following “Configuration” section.

Ensure that you have the appropriate power cable for your facility as described below in the

“Power Cable” section.

Configuration

You can choose to use:

• Network Address Translation (NAT) protocol. This protocol includes both basic NAT and

Network Address Port Translaton (NAPT). Basic NAT uses a one-to-one mapping of a private IP address and a public IP address. NAPT uses a multiple-to-one mapping of multiple IP addresses and their ports to a single IP address and its ports. For more information about the NAT protocol, see “NAT” on page 87 .

• Domain Name System (DNS) resolution. You must specify the IP address for a device to serve as the DNS resolver. You can also specify a second IP address to designate another device to serve as a secondary DNS resolver. The DNS device maps human-readable addresses to IP addresses. For simplicity and ease of management, use DNS relay. DNS relay allows the LAN hosts to configure the Megabit Modem as the DNS server. Depending on the host sending the DNS message and what session it is assigned to, the Megabit

Modem will relay the message to the appropriate DNS server. For more information about

DNS resolution, see “DNS Resolution” on page 93 .

• TFTP server for downloading software updates to the modem. You specify the IP address, subnet mask, and directory path (where software updates are located) for the device that will be the TFTP server.

Power Cable

The Megabit Modem 400F, 500L, 600F, and 700F are available with a variety of power supplies and power cords. When you order your modem, choose one of the following as the last number in the product part number (example: use 150-2122-7x for the 700F) for your order to indicate which power option you need:

• 2 indicates a power supply for International use and does not include a power cord.

• 3 indicates a power supply for North American use and includes a North American power cord.

• 4 indicates a Universal power supply and includes a European power cord.

• 5 indicates a Universal power supply and includes a UK/Ireland power cord.

The Megabit Modem 400F, 500L, 600F, and 700F modem provide full support for the ITU standard G.hs, G.dmt, and G.lite. In the traditional ADSL deployment, POTS splitters are required to separate data transmission from phone service. In this case, the service provider will supply you with a splitter. You will have one or more jacks for phone service and one jack for

ADSL data service. Connect your phones to the jacks indicated by the service provider for phone service. However, using G.lite allows for splitterless deployment. In this case, you will not need to install a splitter.

System mode indicates the mode of operation between the modem and the service provider for WAN sessions. The only model capable of selecting between system modes is the Megabit

Modem 700F. It can operate in either Bridge/Router RFC 1483 or PPP over ATM mode. It can not operate in both modes simultaneously. The Megabit Modem 400F operates only in

Bridge/Router RFC 1483 mode, while the Megabit Modem 500L and 600F operate only in PPP over ATM mode. This section provides procedures to select the system mode. Then, use the section “Saving the Configuration” on page 28 to effect the system mode of operation.

All sessions that occur simultaneously must be the same system mode: either PPP over ATM or Bridge/Router RFC 1483 . Your service provider will indicate which system mode you can use.

See the “System Mode Worksheet” on page 108 for the system mode that you recorded.

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) over ATM is connection-oriented where the session has to be established between the modem and the service provider before data transmission begins.

Bridge/Router RFC 1483 does not establish a session. This mode switches packets based on the data link-layer address for bridging or on the network-layer address for routing.

A unique descriptive identifier of the session that also displays in the connection field.

Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) identifies the virtual path that transports ATM cells in a virtual Channel. The range of values is 0 to 15.

Virtual Channel Idenifier (VCI) identifies a virtual channel for each session (each session is a virtual channel). Can be a number from 32 up to a maximum of 253 (on

VPI 0, VCIs 254 and 255 are reserved), with the first 32 (0 through 31) reserved.

Each session requires a Logon Name that is supplied by the service provider.

Each session requires a Logon Password that is supplied by the service provider.

IP address of Domain Name Service device that translates names into numeric IP addresses. This is the device at the service provider that the modem will translate requests.

IP address of a secondary Domain Name System device that translates names into numeric IP addresses.

Enables/disables the use of Network Address Translation (NAT) protocol to translate private IP addresses to public IP addresses assigned to each session.

IP address of the designated NAT default user for inbound traffic. When the NAT engine does not have enough information to do the inbound translation, it forwards the inbound packet to the NAT default user.

Enables/disables the Continuous Retry function of the PPP session establishment process. When Continuous Retry is enabled, the PPP engine continuously retries establishing the PPP session until one of the following is true:

• The PPP session is established successfully. The session status then goes to the

UP state.

• Authentication fails during the handshaking. The session status then goes to the

LogInErr state.

• The PPP session is disconnected. The session status then goes to the DOWN state.

When enabled, the PPP engine establishes/maintains the session even when there are no users assigned to it. When disabled, the PPP engine will not establish or will terminate the session when there are no users assigned to it.

If enabled, the session is active and is ready to establish the PPP link. If disabled, the session is not active.

Determines whether the session IP address is assigned by the service provider

(Dynamic) or entered by the user (Fixed).

You can update software by specifying a device on your LAN where you will place new software for the update (see “Defining TFTP Parameters” on page 36 ). Then, use the procedure

“Updating Software” on page 77 to download new software from the TFTP device to the

Megabit Modem 400F, 500L, 600F, and 700F.

Through the RS-232 MGMT port on the Megabit Modem 600F and 700F, you can change the modem LAN port IP address and network mask, the default gateway IP address, and the IP address for the device on the LAN that can administer the modem (see page 80 ).

Updating Software

Updating software images in binary format require the use of a TFTP server. The TFTP server stores the files which will be downloaded to your modem. This guide assumes that you have correctly set up your TFTP server on the same subnet as the modem and that the appropriate files are available to download.

When updating software remotely, file corruption is a major concern. For example, if an image file altered during the TFTP process the modem may not restore its connections after a system reset. To eliminate such possibilities, the modem software performs a CRC check for the integrity of each file after it has been downloaded.

The following is an example of how to set up the PC using Microsoft ® Windows ® 98. If you use an operating system other than Windows 98, refer to the appropriate operating system user documentation.

1 Open the Control Panel window by clicking Start , Settings , Control Panel .

2 Double-click the Network icon.

3 From the Configuration tab, double-click TCP/IP .

4 Select Obtain an IP address automatically .

5 Click OK to close the TCP/IP Properties window.

6 Click OK to close the Network window.

7 Click OK to restart the computer.

Troubleshooting

T

ROUBLESHOOTING

If this occurs: Try this:

PC or hub not communicating with the modem

• Check the LINK LED. If it is off, check the cabling to the 10/100BASE port and to the hub or the NIC card in the PC to ensure it is secure.

• Check the position of the MDI/MDI-X switch. Set the switch to MDI when connecting to a PC. Set the switch to MDI-X when connecting to a hub or router.

• Check that you are using a Web browser (Netscape or Internet Explorer) Version 4.0 or newer.

• Check that you have a TCP/IP protocol stack installed on your PC.

• If this is the initial installation, check that you set the IP address on your PC to obtain an

IP address automatically. Make sure you have configured the LAN IP address of the modem to an address that is on the correct subnet. See “Setting Up the PC To Configure the Modem” on page 18 .

• You configured the LAN IP address of the modem to an address that is not on the same subnet.

• Check the NIC card installation for correct IRQ, drivers, and adapter setup. See appropriate documentation for the NIC card.

If none of the above corrects your problem, contact your service provider.

SYNC ADSL LED Contact the service provider when the LED remains off indicating that the modem is not detecting a transceiver at the far end. Flashing green indicates that the modem is attempting to bring up the link. Solid green indicates that the loop is up.

The modem synchronizes at a minimum transmission rate of 64 kbps. The modem rate adapts in increments of 32 kbps.

ETWORK

ATM over DMT ADSL is the technology that provides the high-speed transmission between the modem and the service provider. This transmission occurs over a single-pair telephone line.

The following sections describe these technologies.

ADSL

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is the technology used to transmit data between the modem and service provider at the physical layer. It provides data at asymmetric rates so that downstream traffic from a service provider to you is faster than upstream traffic from you to the service provider. The downstream transmission rate is up to 7.552 Mbps, while the upstream rate is up to 928 Kbps. Included in the ADSL bandwidth is analog POTS.

Discrete Multitone (DMT) is the line coding used for ADSL. Basically, it divides the bandwidth into subchannels. Some of the subchannels are reserved for analog POTS. The other subchannels are allocated to upstream and downstream traffic. Within the upstream and downstream subchannels, some subchannels are used for management and performance functions.

DMT ADSL provides rate-adaptive transmission that allows the service provider to deliver you the best transmission rate determined by distance and line conditions.

Transmission on the Wide Area Network

ATM

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a technology that can simultaneously transmit voice, data, and video over ADSL. ATM uses fixed-size cells that transmit over a preestablished connection called a Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC). Quality of Service provides UBR.

ATM cells are 53 bytes that comprise a 5-byte header and 48-byte payload. The header includes the Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) that you entered when you configured each session. The VPI and VCI provide the virtual connection between the modem and the service provider. The VPI identifies the Virtual Path (VP) that transports ATM cells in a Virtual Channel (VC). The Megabit Modem 400F, 500L, 600F, and 700F has 32 VCs in the

VP, which provides the 32 sessions.

Mapping an ATM Session

Your service provider will give you a VCI and VPI address for each session. The VCI address for each session (each session is a VC) can be a number from 32 up to a maximum of 255, with the first 32 numbers (0 through 31) reserved. The VCI value for each VC must be unique for each of the 32 sessions. The VPI value must always be 0.

NCAPSULATION

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) over ATM or RFC 1483 Bridging/Routing are the two protocols you can use to encapsulate data for transport across the ADSL WAN. The following sections describe these protocols.

PPP

PPP runs over ATM virtual circuits. PPP exists between the hardware layer and the network-layer interface protocols. It is a widely used protocol for establishing connections on the WAN. PPP provides the set up and release of connections for each session. PAP/CHAP provide the authentication for the PPP sessions.

In PPP over ATM mode, you can map private IP address LAN users to PPP sessions using RFC

1631 Network Address Translation protocol.

PAP/CHAP Authentication Security

Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) and Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol

(CHAP) are two ways to authenticate PPP sessions. PAP and CHAP are both offered since some systems support only PAP. With PAP, the modem sends authentication requests to the service provider and authentication occurs only once during the life of the link.

With CHAP, the service provider returns an authentication challenge to the modem during authentication. CHAP can be renegotiated during the life of the link. Also, both the modem and the service provider must support clear text versions of the password. The CHAP host field must be the same on both ends of the session.

NAT

RFC 3022 Network Address Translation (NAT) includes two operations. They are Basic NAT and Network Address Port Translation (NAPT).

Basic NAT only deals with IP addresses. Therefore, it is a one-to-one private IP address to public IP address (proxy address) mapping. Basic NAT allows you to hide your private addresses behind the public IP addresses assigned to a session. Corporations that need flexibility using different IP address ranges can benefit from this operation, as the private IP addresses will remain the same when the public IP addresses are reassigned.

Megabit Modem 400F, 500L, 600F, and 700F User Manual 87

System Mode Encapsulation

NAPT does not have the limitation of using only the IP address in the translation. It also uses

TCP/UDP ports. It is a method that allows multiple IP addresses and their TCP/UDP ports to be translated into one IP address and its ports. A good candidate for NAPT is a small office with multiple hosts but one public IP address. In this case, NAPT allows the entire office to use the public IP address to communicate out of the private network.

An example of NAPT in this small office envionment is the RealPlayer™ application. The

RealPlayer (client at the office) initiates a TCP connection to the RealServer™ on the Internet, which then initiates a UDP connection back to RealPlayer. RealPlayer can then tell the server to use a specific UDP port for the UDP connection. The user should set up a static NAT entry for the UDP connection for RealPlayer to work properly through NAPT.

Bridging

You can configure the Megabit Modem 400F and 700F as a bridge to forward Ethernet data based on MAC addresses.

MAC Layer Bridging

A bridge moves information across a network from a source to a destination at the data link layer

(of an OSI reference model). The information is sent to a physical address known as a Media

Access Control (MAC) address. The Megabit Modem 400F and 700F provide transparent

Ethernet MAC-layer bridging.

The bridge learns up to 1024 addresses. Additionally, when you configure the modem, you can add 32 static addresses through the static MAC address configuration page.

Spanning Tree Protocol

The Megabit Modem 400F and 700F support 802.1d Spanning Tree protocol which eliminates loops in a LAN topology by partitioning out redundant links between LAN segments. This ensures that there is only one path, or link, between any two nodes on the network. If this link goes down, Spanning Tree re-enables partitioned links to create a new loop-free topology if possible.

An example of the active topology is shown on page 89 . In the example, the spanning tree algorithm partitions out the bridge from LAN A to LAN B, and creates the link from ENET2 to Bridge 5.

System Mode Encapsulation

Routing

You can configure the Megabit Modem 400F and 700F router to route Ethernet-encapsulated

IP datagrams based on IP addresses. Use Routing Information Protocol (RIP) to automatically identify the route from the session on the Megabit Modem 400F and 700F to the destination.

You can specify the direction and version of RIP that allows other routers to update their routing tables automatically (for example, information on how many hops between destinations). The version of RIP you select for the session must match the version supported by the service provider. Versions RIP1 and RIP-1 compatible are used for broadcast. RIP Version 2 is used for multicast.

The router also learns addresses. In addition to the addresses it learns, you can add 32 static route entries on the LAN Brouter configuration page. Through the static IP routing feature, you can configure the Megabit Modem 400F and 700F as an IP router with statically programmed route entries. You can enable this function to provide broadcast filtering and to prevent eavesdropping by specifying multiple destination gateways. When static IP routing is enabled, you can access only specific remote IP subnets or hosts.

Since IP routers make forward or filter decisions based on the network-layer IP address instead of the MAC hardware address, MAC-level broadcast frames are prevented from reaching unwanted destinations in the network.

When setting parameters for an external router, configure a Static Route entry in any of the external routers that may have been specified as a Default Router or as a Gateway. This implementation prevents other parties from discovering routes through eavesdropping. The format of this entry varies among the various router vendors, but is typically in the form of

"Destination," "Mask," and "Gateway," where the "Destination" is the remote IP Subnet or host address, and "Gateway" is the IP address of the modem on the same subnet as the external router.

Encapsulation for RFC 1483 Bridging/Routing

Most users select LLC, which allows you to run multiple protocols over the VC. An encapsulation header identifies the types of protocol being carried in the transmission (for example, IP). VC-MUX allows only one protocol to run over the VC. The type of protocol must be negotiated between the modem and the service provider prior to the transmission. Because there is only one protocol allowed, the header is not required.

ROTOCOLS

SNMP is used to configure system and bridge parameters, to monitor statistics, and to perform advanced management tasks.

SNMP

This management protocol specifies how to send information between a network management system (NMS) and managed devices on a network. Managed devices run a program called an agent. The agent interprets SNMP requests and responds to them. The NMS communicates with the agents in the managed devices to:

• set configuration

• get configuration

• get status

A Management Information Base (MIB) defines the configuration and status parameters.

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) specifies standard MIBs for certain types of devices, ensuring any NMS can manage them. Additionally, vendors can issue proprietary

MIBs for their devices to fit specific needs.

Megabit Modem 400F, 500L, 600F, and 700F User Manual 91

Management Protocols

MIB and Trap Support

Each managed device has configuration, status, and statistical information that defines its functionality and operational capabilities. These elements make up the MIB for the device being managed. The MIB defines the kind of information an NMS can retrieve from a managed device, and the settings an NMS can control in a managed device.

Model Number supports the following MIBs:

• RFC 1213: "Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-Based

Internet: MIB-II" Supported groups: system, interfaces, IP, ICMP, UDP, and SNMP groups.

• RFC 1215: "A Convention for Defining Traps for Use with the SNMP" Supported groups:

ColdStart, linkUp, linkDown, and authenticationFailure traps. Link status traps are sent for events related to Ethernet.

• RFC 1493: "Definition of Managed Objects for Bridges" Supported groups: Base,

Spanning Tree, and transparent bridging groups. The Spanning Tree MIB can only be accessed if the Spanning Tree protocol is enabled.

• ADSL MIB

• ATM MIB

• ADC Agent MIB

DNS R

ESOLUTION

If you want Domain Name System (DNS) resolution, you need to specify the IP address for a device to be the DNS resolver. You can also specify another IP address to designate a second device for a secondary DNS resolver. The DNS device maps human-readable addresses to IP addresses. A human-readable address is one such as maggie.copro.company.com

that contains a host name and domain. The DNS resolver maps that name to the IP address that is a numeric (four octet) value such as 192.168.30.25.

In previous versions of code, the provisioning of more than one PPP over ATM session required the manual configuration of DNS server addresses on the host computers. Changing from one session to another session also required manual configuration. This is because different sessions required different DNS server addresses, and the modem did not have a way to handle the DNS server address on a session by session basis.

DNS Relay solves this problem. With DNS Relay, the DNS server addresses are configured on a per session basis and all the hosts on the LAN have their DNS server addresses configured to the same address, the LAN IP address of the modem. Therefore, multiple hosts in different sessions configured for DHCP can receive the modem’s LAN IP address as the DNS server address. When a host sends out a DNS message to the modem, the modem looks up the source

IP address in the User Assignment Table to determine the host’s session and the DNS server for that session. The modem replaces the destination IP address of the frame with the DNS server address configured for that session and sends the frame on its way.

TFTP S

ERVER

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is the TCP/IP standard for file transfer. It provides the service with minimal capability and minimal overhead. TFTP uses UDP for connectionless delivery.

A TFTP Server is a device on the network which stores files that other IP devices can access for file transfer using the TFTP protocol. The Megabit Modem is one of these IP devices and uses theTFTP server to download updated software in binary format.

Typical TFTP servers are not dedicated only for file transfer. Frequently, Microsoft Windows desktops are used to store the binary files. To create a TFTP server, several shareware programs are available through the Internet. Once you have selected and installed the TFTP server software, configure it to share a directory containing the binary files. To configure the Megabit

Modem to access the TFTP server, see Chapter 9 on page 77 .

The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 specification for

Ethernet over thin coaxial cable.

ATM Adaptation Layer 5.

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line is a technology in which data is transferred from the service provider to the subscriber at up to 7.552 Mbps, and transferred from subscriber to service provider at up to 928 Kbps. ADSL is the implementation of the physical layer for transmission of data.

Asynchronous Transfer Mode is a high bandwidth, low delay, connection-oriented, packet-like switching and multiplexing technique that uses 53-byte fixed-size cells to transmit voice, video and data over a network. ATM layers define how cells are formatted and provides the transport of the fixed length cells between the modem and the service provider (or endpoints of the virtual connection).

The dissipation of the power of a transmitted signal as it travels over copper wire, measured in decibels (dB).

Security feature offered through PAP and CHAP with PPP sessions.

Bit Error Rate is a measure of transmission quality. The ratio of error bits to the total number of bits transmitted.

bit-per-second is the number of bits transferred during each second of data transmission.

Constant Bit Rate is a Service Class for the modem. It provides constant bit rate data with a timing relationship between the source and the destination. Also, a traffic class that carries a guaranteed constant bandwidth. Best suited for applications that require fixed bandwidth, such as uncompressed voice, video and circuit emulation. CBR is a

Quality of Service class defined by the ATM Forum for ATM networks.

A fixed-length packet. Also, the unit of data transmission used in ATM. Each ATM cell contains a fixed-size frame (53 bytes) consisting of a five-byte header and a 48-byte payload.

Cyclic Redundancy Check is a method used to verify the accuracy of data transmission.

Discrete Multi-Tone is a modulation coding for an ADSL line. DMT is the modulation technology used for the Megabit Modem 400F, 500L, 600F, and 700F ADSL.

Communications from a service provider to a user.

The inclusion of data in a protocol header prior to transmission, which enables successful data transmission between different protocol networks.

Errored Seconds is the seconds during which errors occur that prevent the payload from being corrected.

A protocol used for LAN traffic, which has a transfer rate of 10 or 100 Mbps.

Non-volatile memory that can be erased and reprogrammed.

A device (generally a router) that provides translation services to allow communication between two dissimilar networks.

Internet Protocol is a TCP/IP protocol that controls packet transmission.

A 32-bit address used in IP routing. The address consists of four octets separated by decimals. The octets comprise a network section, a subnet section (optional) and a host section.

Local Area Network is a physically connected group of devices between which data transmission occurs at high speeds over relatively short distances.

Logical Link Control is an encapsulation protocol for data that you transmit from the modem over the WAN in 1483 Bridging/Routing mode.

Loss Of Frame is an error indicating that the receiving equipment has lost a frame.

Loss Of Signal is an error indicating that the receiving equipment has lost the signal.

Media Access Control is a physical address associated with a device such as a NIC.

For modem configuration, the MAC is used to map inbound traffic (from a remote IP address) to an internal (LAN) IP address. Used with 1483 Bridging/Routing Mode.

The noise margin in decibels that the modem must achieve with a BER of 10 -7 or better to successfully complete initialization.

PAP/CHAP

PDU

POTS

PPP

Management Information Base is a set of variables that define the configuration and status parameters for network management. Network management stations can retrieve information from and write information to an MIB. The Internet Engineering

Task Force (IETF) specifies standard MIBS for certain types of devices, ensuring any

NMS can manage the devices. Vendors can specify proprietary MIBs for their devices to fit specific needs.

Network Address and Port Translation provides the means to map private IP addresses and TCP/UDP ports to the public IP addresses (proxy addresses) and

TCP/UDP ports that are set up for the PPP sessions. Used with PPP Mode.

Non-Volatile Random Access Memory is a medium for storing system configuration information, so the information is not lost when the system is reset.

A TCP/IP term indicating eight bits.

Password Authentication Protocol and Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol are two ways to authenticate PPP sessions. With PAP, the modem sends authentication requests to the service provider and authentication occurs only once during the life of the link.

In CHAP, the service provider returns an authentication challenge to the modem during authentication. CHAP can be renegotiated during the life of the link. Also, both the modem and the service provider must support clear text versions of the password. The CHAP host field must be the same on both ends of the session.

Protocol Data Unit is data as it appears at the interface between a particular sublayer and the sublayer immediately below.

Plain Old Telephone Service.

Point-to-Point Protocol exists between the hardware layer and the network-layer interface protocols. It is a widely used protocol for establishing connections on the

Internet. PPP provides the set up and release of connections for each session.

PAP/CHAP provide the authentication for the PPP sessions.

proxy IP address The proxy IP address is the WAN IP address for one of the 32 sessions. The proxy

IP address is used to enter static NAT entries. See IP address.

PVC Permanent Virtual Circuit is a logical connection comprised of a predefined static route across a packet-switched network that is always in place and always available.

QoS

RFC

Quality of Service is the configured traffic parameters that are assigned to a virtual circuit, which specifies how quickly and how accurately data is transferred from the sender to the receiver.

Request For Comment is a series of notes that contain surveys, measurements, ideas, techniques, and observations, as well as proposed and accepted TCP/IP protocol standards. RFCs are available on the Internet.

Routing Information Protocol allows routers to update the routing tables automatically (for example with information such as how many hops between destinations). The version of RIP you select for the session must match the version supported by the service provider. Versions RIP1 and RIP-1 compatible are used for broadcast. Version RIP 2 is used for multicast.

Severely Errored Frames is the incoming signal has at least four consecutive errored framing patterns.

Severely Errored Seconds is the seconds during which more than 2,500 bipolar errors are detected on the line.

The time during which two computers maintain a communication connection. An example is a connection configured between the Megabit Modem 400F, 500L, 600F, and 700F and the service provider.

Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol that specifies how to send information between a NMS and managed devices on a network. The managed devices run a program called an agent. The agent interprets SNMP request and responds to them. SNMP is used to set device configurations, read device configurations or read the device status.

A bridging protocol that detects and prevents loops from occurring in a system containing multiple bridges.

A type of IP address that allows a site to use a single IP address for multiple physical networks.

Transmission Control Protocol is a transport protocol used to map inbound traffic

(from a remote IP address) to an internal (LAN) IP address. Establishes connection with remote user before data transmission.

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is a protocol used for communications between computers over networks and the internet.

Trivial File Transfer Protocol is a protocol used to download card images or other files from an external TFTP server to the NVRAM of any installed cards, or to upload files from an installed card to an external TFTP server.

PCs configured to receive SNMP traps (messages).

Autonomous, interrupt-driven, SNMP messages sent from a managed node to a network management station to indicate that an event has occurred.

UnAvailable Seconds is the number of seconds during which the line is unavailable.

Unspecified Bit Rate is an ATM traffic type used for LAN traffic. When network congestion occurs, the data is stored in a buffer until it can be sent.
