Introduction
DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) Interface
The DTE Drop/Insert interface allows DTEs/PBXs that support the DS1 signal
format to share the T1 network with other high-speed equipment.
Asynchronous Terminal Interface Support
The DSU/CSU can be configured and managed from an asynchronous (async)
terminal. The asynchronous terminal’s full screen display uses a menu hierarchy
to perform device-control operations.
with the use of the asynchronous terminal for DSU/CSU control.
Alarm Message Capability
The DSU/CSU can be attached, either locally or remotely, to an ASCII terminal or
printer to display or print alarm messages. Alarms can also be displayed on a PC
that is using a terminal emulation package.
Telnet Access
Remote async terminal operations can be performed using Telnet access. Telnet
is a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) service that
supports a virtual terminal interface.
SNMP Management Support
SNMP is a network management protocol that is used to monitor network
performance and status, and to report alarms (i.e., traps). To function, SNMP
requires a manager consisting of a software program housed within a workstation
or PC; an agent consisting of a software program housed within a device (e.g.,
the DSU/CSU); and a Management Information Base (MIB) consisting of a
database of managed objects. The DSU/CSU can be managed by any
industry-standard SNMP manager.
Two link layer protocols, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and Serial Line Internet
Protocol (SLIP), are supported for connection to an external SNMP manager or
network device (e.g., a router).
The SNMP manager or network device can be directly connected to the
communications (COM) port. An external LAN Adapter can be connected to
either the COM port or the auxiliary (AUX) port to provide Ethernet connectivity.
Also, the DSU/CSU can be daisy chained together by connecting the COM port of
one device to the AUX port of the other, providing SNMP connectivity.
The SNMP management system can communicate to the DSU/CSU remotely
through the Facility Data Link (FDL) or the synchronous data port’s Embedded
Data Link (EDL).

Power-Up Self-Test
After you connect the DSU/CSU to a power source, the unit performs the
power-up self-test to ensure that it is in good working order. The DSU/CSU
performs this test on itself upon power-up or after a device reset, unless it has
been disabled by the Self-Test configuration option (see Appendix C,
The self-test includes a basic processor test, a limited memory test, a code
checksum test, and basic verification tests of the internal components.
" Procedure
The power-up self-test consists of the following steps:
1. Once the DSU/CSU is plugged in, the Fail LED blinks ON and Off
continuously.
2. All the LEDs then start to flash simultaneously in the pattern twice ON, then
Off.
3. If the self-test is successful, the Fail LED turns Off and the OK LED lights.
If the self-test fails, the Fail LED lights. The DSU/CSU continues to try to
operate. If you are in doubt about the results of the self-test, use the System
Results in Chapter 4, Maintenance).

Operation
Changing Configuration Options
The DSU/CSU is an intelligent device that displays only valid options for the
current configuration. Therefore, you are only presented with menu choices that
are consistent with the current configuration and operational state of the
DSU/CSU; invalid combinations of configuration options do not appear. For
example, if the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface selection is disabled, many of
the menu choices do not appear.
The DSU/CSU offers configuration options located in the following memory areas:
H
Current. This is the configuration option set currently active for the DSU/CSU
is stored here. Before a configuration option set becomes active for the
DSU/CSU, you must save the set to the Current area. When the DSU/CSU is
shipped from the factory, the Current configuration option set is identical to
the Default Factory set. This area can be written to and controls the current
operation of the device.
H

Customer 1. This is the first of two sets of customer-defined configuration
options. This area can be written to.
Customer 2. This is the second of two sets of customer-defined configuration
options. This area can be written to.
Default Factory 1. This is a set of configuration options preset at the factory.
This set is determined by what is considered to be the most common
configuration used in the DSU/CSU market. Default Factory 1 options are
read-only.

Default Factory 2. This is a set of configuration options preset at the factory.
This set is determined by what is considered to be the second most common
configuration used in the DSU/CSU market. Default Factory 2 options are
read-only.
a list of the configuration options and defaults.
The DSU/CSU arrives with two preset factory default configuration settings.
These settings are based on the following:
H
Default Factory 1 – ESF framing format with B8ZS line coding format for
both the network and the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interfaces. Data ports are
unassigned.
H
Default Factory 2 – D4 framing format with AMI line coding format for both
the network and the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interfaces. Data ports are
unassigned.
If neither of the factory default settings support your network’s configuration, you
can customize the configuration options to better suit your application.

Operation
Selecting the Port
The SNMP manager, Telnet device, or network device (e.g., a router) can be
directly connected to the COM port. An external LAN Adapter can be connected
to either the COM port or the auxiliary (AUX) port to provide Ethernet or Token
Ring connectivity. Also, the DSU/CSU can be daisy chained together by
connecting the COM port of one device to the AUX port of the other, providing
SNMP or Telnet connectivity.
The COM port can support either synchronous or asynchronous PPP, or
asynchronous SLIP at data rates of up to 38,400 bps. The AUX port can support
data rates up to 38,400 bps.
The following procedure is an example only. It assumes that the COM port is
being used as the link to the SNMP or Telnet system.
" Procedure
To select the COM port as the SNMP or Telnet link:
1. From the Main Menu screen, select Configuration.
2. From the Load Configuration From screen, select Current.
3. From the Configuration Edit/Display screen, select User Interface.
4. From the User Interface screen, select Communication Port.
5. In the Port Use field, enter Mgmt (Figure 3-9).

Operation
Setting the IP Address
The IP address is the address used by the SNMP or Telnet system to access the
using PPP, the IP address can be negotiated if the network device (e.g., router or
SNMP manager) supports such negotiation. The IP address is composed of four
fields with three digits per field (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
The IP address is set for the COM port or the AUX port (with LAN Adapter or
daisy chain), depending on which one has been chosen as the SNMP or Telnet
communications link. The example below assumes that an IP address of
010.155.111.222 is being set for the COM port. You can use the same principles
to assign any value (between 000 and 255 for each digit field) to other ports.
" Procedure
To assign an IP address to the COM port:
1. From the Main Menu screen, select Configuration.
2. From the Load Configuration From screen, select Current.
3. From the Configuration Edit/Display screen, select Management and
Communication.
4. From the Management and Communication screen, select Communication

Operation
Allocating Data Ports Using the Block or ACAMI Assignment Method
By using the block or ACAMI (Alternate Channel Alternate Block Inversion)
assignment method, you can assign a data port to a block of contiguous DS0
channels on either the network interface or the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1)
interface.
The block assignment method allows a block of contiguous channels to be
assigned by specifying a data port rate and an initial DS0 channel (the first DS0
channel in a block of DS0 channels). The number of channels assigned is
determined by the port rate. These channels are automatically assigned to the
destination T1 interface (Network or DTE Drop/Insert) when the initial DS0
channel is selected.
The ACAMI assignment method also allows a block of contiguous channels to be
assigned, however, with ACAMI, the number of channels assigned is twice the
number needed for the port rate. This is because with ACAMI, every alternate
DS0 channel (starting with the n+1 DS0 channel), does not carry data from the
port, but instead always transmits and receives all ones.
" Procedure
To assign data ports by the block or ACAMI method:
1. From the Main Menu screen, select Configuration.
2. From the Load Configuration From screen, select Current.
3. From the Configuration Edit/Display screen, select Cross Connect.
4. From the Cross Connect screen, select Sync Data Port Assignments.
5. Use the Assign To field to specify the destination T1 interface (Network or
DTE).
6. Use the Assign By field to specify the assignment method (Block or ACAMI).
7. After filling in the Port Rate field, specify a port assignment for the initial DS0
channel in a block of contiguous, available DS0 channels.
8. Select Save or, if you want to return to the Cross Connect screen, press your
Esc key and then save your changes from that screen.

Allocating Data Ports Using the Individual Channel Assignment
Method
By using the individual channel assignment method, you can assign a data port to
individual DS0 channels on either the network interface or the DTE Drop/Insert
(DSX-1) interface.
This method individually selects the DS0 channels to allocate to the data port.
The data port rate is automatically determined based on the number of channels
selected.
" Procedure

1. From the Main Menu screen, select Configuration.
2. From the Load Configuration From screen, select Current.
3. From the Configuration Edit/Display screen, select Cross Connect.
4. From the Cross Connect screen, select Sync Data Port Assignments.
5. Use the Assign To field to specify the destination T1 interface (Network or
DTE).
6. Use the Assign By field to specify the assignment method (Channel).
7. Specify the port assignments for the individual DS0 channels. The DS0
channels do not need to be contiguous.
The port rate increases as the port is assigned to additional DS0 channel. For
two DS0 channels (at 64 kbps each), a port rate of 128 kbps is required.
8. Select Save or, if you want to return to the Cross Connect screen, press your
Esc key and then save your changes from that screen.
Clearing DS0 Channel Allocation
You can clear (deallocate) all the DS0 channels currently allocated to either the
network interface, the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface, or the synchronous

Operation
Selecting the Timing Source
The DSU/CSU provides the ability to select a master clock (timing) source that is
used to synchronize all of the T1 and data port interfaces on the DSU/CSU. The
clock for each interface is at the appropriate rate for that interface (e.g.,
1.544 Mbps for the T1 interfaces, the configured port rate for the data ports), and
it is independent of the master clock rate. This means that the master clock rate
and the DSU/CSU interface rates may be different.
The clock source configuration options enable you to select either the network
interface, a synchronous data port, the internal clock, the DTE Drop/Insert

Operation
Providing Backup Capability
If the T1 network fails, the DSU/CSU provides the ability to reconfigure the unit
and restore (at least partially) priority data circuits through an external backup
device.
You can store backup configuration options in the Customer 2 set of
customer-defined configuration options. The Enterprise MIB variable
devConfigAreaCopy allows the entire contents of one configuration area to be
copied into another configuration area via SNMP.
By cross-connecting two synchronous data ports to each other, one port can
provide a backup path for the other. As soon as the ports are configured to be
mapped to each other, Data Set Ready (DSR) for the ports is turned on. The
external backup device can be configured to initiate dialing when it detects the
off-to-on transition of DSR.

in 15-minute intervals. After 15 minutes, the current interval is rolled over into a
set of accumulator registers that represent the previous 96 15-minute intervals for
the register. An interval total of how many of the 96 registers contain valid data is
also kept, as well as a 24-hour total for each accumulator register.
Port performance is continuously monitored and maintained in memory registers
when the port is configured to use EDL. The DSU/CSU maintains two sets of port
registers for each synchronous data port: far-end port registers and near-end port
registers. These registers are status registers that collect performance data for
the previous 8-hour period. Port data is updated in 15-minute intervals. After
15 minutes, the current interval is rolled over into a set of accumulator registers
that represent the previous 32 15-minute intervals for the register. An interval
total of how many of the 32 registers contain valid data is also kept, as well as a
8-hour total for each accumulator register.

Alarms
To display or print alarm messages, you can attach the DSU/CSU, either locally
or remotely, to an ASCII terminal or printer. Alarms can also be displayed on a PC
that is using a terminal emulation package.
You can route these alarms to the COM port or dial them out using an external
device.
Each alarm message contains a customer identification to indicate which remote
refer to Setting Customer Identification in Chapter 3, Operation.

Monitoring and Testing
If two alarm conditions are detected at once, the higher priority alarm is reported.
However, if an even higher priority alarm is detected before the first alarm is
cleared, the later alarm is not reported. (The alarms listed above are in priority
order with the highest priority listed first.)
Alarms remain active until the alarm condition is cleared. Also, an alarm clear
message is only sent when there are no other alarms active.
Configuration Options in Appendix C, Configuration Options.
SNMP Traps
SNMP traps are unsolicited messages that are sent from the DSU/CSU to an
SNMP manager when the DSU/CSU detects certain pre-specified conditions.
These traps enable the SNMP manager to monitor the state of the network.
The SNMP Trap configuration option must be enabled for trap messages to be
sent over the communications link. You must specify the number of SNMP
managers that are to receive traps from this DSU/CSU, an IP address for each
SNMP manager specified, and the type of traps to be sent from this DSU/CSU.
Trap types consist of the following:
H
General traps – Include warmStart and authenticationFailure. The DSU/CSU
sends a warmStart trap after it has been reset to indicate that it has just
reinitialized itself. The DSU/CSU sends an authenticationFailure trap when it
has received an SNMP protocol message that has not been properly
authenticated. These traps are enabled by the General Traps configuration
option.
H
H
Enterprise Specific traps – Signify that the DSU/CSU has recognized an
traps are enabled by the Enterprise Specific Traps configuration option.
Link Traps – Identify the condition of the communications interface, either
linkDown (one of the communications interfaces has failed) or linkUp (one of
the communications interfaces has just come up). These traps are enabled
by the Link Traps configuration option. The communications interfaces for
which these traps can be generated are specified by the Link Trap Interfaces

H
QRSS – A quasi-random signal source approximating live data that can be
monitored for logic errors (on the network and the data ports).
1-in-8 – A test pattern consisting of a one (1) followed by seven zeros (on the
network only).
511 – A pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS) that is 511 bits long (on the

Configuration Options
Table C-3. Sync Data Port Configuration Options (2 of 5)
Embedded Data Link: Disable
Enable Disable
Specifies whether Embedded Data Link (EDL) is enabled for a particular port. If EDL is
enabled, then 8 kbps of the total bandwidth allocated for this port is not available to the
synchronous data port. For example, if the port rate is 256 kbps (4 DS0 channels
allocated) and EDL is enabled, then only 248 kbps is available to the port. EDL provides
the following: detection of frame synchronization, CRC of the data stream (excluding the
8 kbps EDL), and an in-band data link (4 kbps) between the local and remote units. The
4 kbps in-band data link can be used for performance report messages and as an IP
link for SNMP or Telnet sessions.
Enable – Indicates the port’s EDL is enabled.
Disable – Indicates the port’s EDL is disabled.
NOTES: – If the local DSU/CSU’s EDL is enabled, then the remote DSU/CSU’s
EDL must also be enabled.
– EDL is not recommended for networks in which data is examined for
routing purposes (e.g., frame relay, x.25).
EDL Management Link: Disable
Enable Disable
Specifies whether the EDL management link is enabled for a particular port. Selecting
Enable allows SNMP or Telnet traffic to flow over the 4 kbps in-band data link provided
by EDL.

Disable – Disables the port’s EDL management link.
NOTES: – This configuration option is not available if EDL is disabled or FDL is
enabled.
– If the local DSU/CSU’s EDL is enabled, then the remote device’s EDL
must also be enabled.
Invert Transmit Clock: Disable
Enable Disable
Specifies whether the clock supplied by the DSU/CSU on the TXC interchange circuit
DB (CCITT 114) is phase inverted with respect to the Transmitted Data interchange
circuit BA (CCITT 103). This configuration option is useful when long cable lengths
between the DSU/CSU and the DTE are causing data errors.
Enable – Indicates TXC supplied by the DSU/CSU on this port is phase inverted.
Disable – Indicates TXC supplied by the DSU/CSU on this port is not phase inverted.
Invert Transmit and Received Data: Disable
Enable Disable
Specifies whether the port’s transmitted data and received data are logically inverted
before being transmitted or received. This configuration option is useful for applications
where HDLC data is being transported. Inverting the data ensures that the density
requirements for the network interface are met.
Enable – Indicates the transmitted data and received data for this port are inverted.
Disable – Indicates the transmitted data and received data for this port are not inverted.

Sync Data Port Assignments
Assign To: Network
Network DTE Port
Allows you to assign a synchronous data port to DS0 channels on either the network
interface, the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface, or another port.
Network – Assigns this port to DS0 channels on the network interface.
DTE – Assigns this port to DS0 channels on the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface. If
the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface is disabled, this selection does not appear.
Port – Assigns this port to another port. Use this feature to designate a port as a
backup port. You can attach an external backup device to a backup port and manually
assign the selected port to the backup port (i.e., route data from the selected port to the
backup port). When a port is assigned to another port, DSR is turned on. EDL does not
operate when a synchronous data port is assigned to another synchronous data port.
Therefore, if EDL is enabled, it is ignored.
NOTE: Changing this configuration option from one T1 interface to the other
(Network or DTE) deallocates all DS0 channels assigned to the previous
interface.
Sync Data Port Assignments
Assign By: Block
Block ACAMI Channel
If you select NET or DTE using the Assign To configuration option, this configuration
option designates the method for assigning DS0 channels to the destination T1
interface.
Block – Allocates DS0 channels to this port by the block method.
ACAMI – Allocates DS0 channels to this port by the Alternate Channel Alternate Mark
Inversion method. The difference between block and ACAMI is that the number of
channels allocated with ACAMI is double the number needed for the port rate. With
ACAMI, every alternate DS0 channel does not carry data from the port but always
transmits and receives all ones.
Channel – Allocates DS0 channels to this port by the individual channel method.
NOTE: Changing this configuration option from one method to another (Block,
ACAMI, or Channel) deallocates all DS0 channels assigned to either the
network interface or the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface.

DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interfaces.
NOTE: This configuration option is not available if the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1)
Interface is disabled. If the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface is disabled,
the DSU/CSU always generates the Yellow Alarm signal on the network
interface.
Enable – Generates the Yellow Alarm signal for both the network and DTE Drop/Insert
(DSX-1) interfaces.
Disable – Disables the Yellow Alarm signal. When this configuration option is disabled,
Yellow Alarm conditions on the network interface cause an AIS signal to be transmitted
on the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface.
NOTE: When this configuration option is disabled, the DTE equipment connected
to the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface is responsible for generation of
the Yellow Alarm signal on the network interface. In this case, the interface
port marked DTE must only be connected to an FCC Part 68 Registered
(for USA) and Canadian DOC Certified (for Canada) Digital Service Unit or
System, such as PBX, with a DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface. Failure to
do so is a violation of FCC Rules or DOC Regulations.

Overview
The DSU/CSU is shipped with a power module. Various other interconnecting
List. This appendix describes connector pin assignments and cables.
T1 Network Interface
The T1 network interface connector is an RJ48C, 8-position, unkeyed modular
jack (Table D-1).
The T1 line interface cable is a 20-foot, 24 AWG solid, 2-twisted-pair cable that is

DTE Drop/Insert Interface
The DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface connector is a DB15-type socket
connector (Table D-2). For information about using Relay Contact Sense for
external DTE loopback, refer to the DTE LB on Contact configuration option in
The DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) cable (Figure D-3) is typically supplied by a DTE
vendor. It is made of shielded twisted-pair wires (22 AWG). The cable connector
is a DB15-type plug connector. Be sure to connect the shield ground only at the
DSU/CSU end to prevent ground loops.

AUX Port Interface
The Auxiliary (AUX) port connects to the LAN Adapter for SNMP or Telnet
applications, or to another DSU/CSU’s COM port for daisy chain connectivity.
(The SNMP LAN Adapter includes the cable that is needed to attach it to the
DSU/CSU.) The AUX port connector is an 8-pin modular connector (Table D-3).
NOTE:
For daisy-chaining an AUX port to a COM port, a customer-supplied
8-pin-to-8-pin, straight-through cable is required and the appropriate
configuration options (Com Use and Aux Use) must be set to Daisy.
Whenever the cable is connected or disconnected, you should change the
Daisy selection to ensure that the correct parameters have been negotiated
for the link layer.

COM Port Interface
The COM port connects to a PC for front panel emulation, to an ASCII terminal or
printer for alarms, to an async terminal, to a network device (e.g., a router) for
SNMP or Telnet applications, to the LAN Adapter for SNMP or Telnet
applications, or to another DSU/CSU’s AUX port for daisy chain connectivity.
(The SNMP LAN Adapter includes the cable that is needed to attach it to the
DSU/CSU.) The COM port connector is an 8-position keyed modular connector
(Table D-4). The data signals on this port are referenced to a DTE interface.
NOTE:
For daisy-chaining an AUX port to a COM port, a customer-supplied,
8-pin-to-8-pin, straight-through cable is required and the appropriate
configuration options (Com Use and Aux Use) must be set to Daisy.
Whenever the cable is connected or disconnected, you should change the
Daisy selection to ensure that the correct parameters have been negotiated
for the link layer.

Overview
This appendix describes the Management Information Base (MIB) objects that
are supported by the DSU/CSU.
The DSU/CSU supports the following MIBs:
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) internets and provides general
information about the DSU/CSU.
network and DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interfaces on the DSU/CSU.
supports synchronous data ports (PORTs 1– 2) and management
communication ports (AUX and COM ports) on the DSU/CSU.
additional objects for control of generic interfaces in MIB II. It supports control
of tests on the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) and synchronous data interfaces
that are not supported by other MIBs.
Enterprise MIB – Defines objects unique to devices like the Model 3162.
MIB II (RFC 1213)
The objects defined by MIB II are organized into 10 different groups. The
DSU/CSU implements only those groups where the semantics of the group are
applicable to the implementation of a DSU/CSU. The MIB II object groups
supported or not supported by the 3100 Series devices are as follows:
System
Group
Supported.
Interface
Group
Supported for the network interface, the DTE Drop/Insert
(DSX-1) interface, the synchronous data ports, the COM
port, and the AUX port. Interface statistics (counters) apply
to any port (COM or AUX), whichever is defined as the
SNMP management link.

System Group, MIB II
The System Group objects are fully supported by the DSU/CSU. The following
sections provide clarification for objects contained in the System Group where it
is not otherwise clear how the object definition in MIB II is related to the
DSU/CSU. Objects not mentioned are supported as stated in the MIB.
System Group – “sysDescr” Object (system 1)
This object provides the full name and version identification for the system
hardware and software. This object displays the following string:
[Company Name] T1 DSU/CSU; model xxxx-xx-xxx; S/W Release: yy.yy.yy; H/W
CCA: zzzz-zzz; Serial number: ssssssss.
Where:
xxxx-xx-xxx represents the full model number of the unit.
yy.yy.yy represents the software revision number of the unit.
zzzz-zzz represents the hardware revision number of the unit.
ssssssss represents the serial number of the unit.
System Group – “sysObjectID” Object (system 2)
This object provides the authoritative identification of the network management
subsystem contained in the unit.
This object displays the following object identifier:
3162
[Company OID].1.14.2.2.7
System group –”sysContact” Object (system 4)
This object provides a textual identification of the contact person for this
managed node.

SNMP MIB Objects
System Group – “sysName” Object (system 5)
This object provides an administratively-assigned name for this managed node.
System Group – “sysLocation” Object (system 6)
This object provides the physical location of this node.
System Group – “sysServices” Object (system 7)
This object provides a value which indicates the set of services that are
potentially offered by the DSU/CSU. Only the following values are supported.
H
H
physical(1) – Layer 1 functionality for all interfaces.
datalink/subnetwork(2) – Layer 2 functionality (SLIP, PPP) for the COM and
AUX ports.
H
H
internet(4) – Layer 3 functionality (IP) for all management links.
end-to-end(8) – Layer 4 functionality (UDP) for all management links.
Therefore, set this object to 15 (the sum of 1 + 2 + 4 + 8).
Interface Group, MIB II
The Interfaces Group consists of an object indicating the number of interfaces
supported by the unit and an interface table containing an entry for each
interface. The DSU/CSU provides an entry in the interface table for the network
interface, the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface, each of the synchronous data
ports (1 or 2), the COM port and the AUX port. The following sections provide
clarification for objects contained in the Interface Group where it is not clear how
the object definition in MIB II is related to the DSU/CSU.
Interface Group – “ifNumber” Object (interfaces 1)
This variable contains the maximum number of MIB II supported interfaces
possible across the 31xx Series product line (9). This is different from the MIB
description, which is defined as the number of interfaces on the particular device.
This change allows the use of the same ifIndexes across all 31xx Series models.

SNMP MIB Objects
Interface Group – “ifType” Object (ifEntry 3)
This object identifies the type of the interface based on the physical/link
protocol(s) immediately below the network layer. Only the following values are
supported by the DSU/CSU:
H
H
ds1 – Used for the network and DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interfaces.
propPointToPointSerial(22) – Used for the synchronous data ports. Used for
the COM port when the port is not configured as the SNMP management
interface.
H
H
ppp(23) – Used for the AUX or COM port when the port is configured for PPP.
slip(28) – Used for the COM port when the port is configured for SLIP.
Interface Group – “ifMtu” Object (ifEntry 4)
This object identifies the largest datagram that can be sent or received on the
interface. It is applicable only to the interface configured as the SNMP
management link. This object is zero for all other interfaces.
Interface Group – “ifSpeed” Object (ifEntry 5)
This object provides the interface’s current bandwidth in bits per second. The
value of this object for each interface is specified as follows:
T1 Interfaces: 1,544,000 bps.
COM and
AUX:
The currently configured data rate for the port.
Data Ports:
The currently configured data rate for the port when the port
is allocated to one of the T1 interfaces. If the port is not
allocated the data rate is defined as zero.
Interface Group – “ifAdminStatus” Object (ifEntry 7)
This object specifies the desired state (configuration) of the interface. This object
is supported only for the COM port. It provides the ability to switch between using
the port for SNMP or ASCII operations (dial-out, front panel emulation). The value
of this object will not affect the state of any of the interfaces on the DSU/CSU
other than the COM port. Only the following values are supported by the
DSU/CSU:
H
H
up(1) – The SNMP management link is active on the COM port.
testing(3) – The SNMP management link is inactive on the COM port; the
COM port can be used for proprietary ASCII functions.

SNMP MIB Objects
Interface Group – “ifOperStatus” Object (ifEntry 8)
This object specifies the current operational state of the interface. The value of
this object for each interface is defined as follows:
Network T1:
DTE T1:
The interface is up(1) when no alarm conditions exist.
The interface is down(2) when an alarm condition is active.
The interface is testing(3) when a test is active on the
interface.
The interface is up(1) when no alarm conditions exist and
the interface is enabled.
The interface is down(2) when an alarm condition is active
and the interface is disabled.
The interface is testing(3) when a test is active on the
interface.
COM Port:
AUX Port:
Data Ports:
When configured as an SNMP management link, up and
down are based on the current state of the link layer
protocol. Otherwise, the interface is always up(1).
The interface is never in the testing(3) state.
When configured as an SNMP management link, up and
down are based on the current state of the link layer
protocol. Otherwise, the interface is always down(2).
The interface is never in the testing(3) state.
The interface is up(1) when the port is assigned to a T1
interface or another data port as a backup, and both CTS
and DSR are ON.
The interface is down(2) when the port is unassigned, or
either CTS or DSR is OFF.
The interface is testing(3) when a test is active on the
interface.

IP Group, MIB II
The IP Group objects are supported by the DSU/CSU for all data paths which
currently are configured to carry IP data to or from the DSU/CSU, including the
COM, AUX, EDL, and FDL. All of the objects in the IP Group other than the IP
Address Translation table are fully supported. The IP Address Translation table
(ipNetToMediaTable) does not apply to the DSU/CSU and will be empty (i.e.,
have zero entries). The following sections provide clarification for objects
contained in the IP Group when it is not clear how the object definition in MIB II is
related to the DSU/CSU.

SNMP MIB Objects
IP Group – “ipForwarding” Object (ip 1)
This object specifies whether the unit is acting as an IP gateway in respect to the
forwarding of a datagram received by, but not addressed to, this unit. Only the
following value is supported by the DSU/CSU.
H
forwarding(1) – The unit is acting as a gateway.
IP Group – “ipAddrTable” Object (ip 20)
The address table is supported by the DSU/CSU.
IP Group – “ipAdEntAddr” Object (ipAddrEntry 1)
The ipAdEntAddr object is an IP address supported by the device and serves as
the index to the address table. Since indexes for tables must be unique, only one
ifIndex may be displayed for each IP address supported by the device. If you
have configured the same IP address for multiple interfaces or for default IP
addresses, you will not see all interfaces that support a particular IP address
upon display of the ipAddrTable.
IP Group – “ipAdEntIfIndex” Object (ipAddrEntry 2)
For some address table entries, the ipAdEntIfIndex object may have a value
greater than ifNumber. In these cases, the ipAdEntIfIndex refers to a proprietary
interface which is not currently implemented by the interface group of MIB II.
IP Group – “ipRouteTable” Object (ip 21)
The routing table used by the DSU/CSU is supported as a read/write table.
Entries in this table may be added, deleted, or changed. You should exercise
great caution when adding or modifying routes in the ipRoutingTable. In general,
it should not be necessary to add or modify routes in the DSU/CSU. In those
cases where it is deemed necessary, the routes should only be added to the
connected device (i.e., the device closest to the destination). Internal routing
mechanisms will propagate the route to the other devices.
An existing route may be effectively deleted by setting the ipRouteType object to
“invalid” for the entry to be deleted. An existing route may be modified by
changing fields in the desired entry (indexed by ipRouteDest) of the routing table.
A new route may be added by specifying values for a table entry for which the
index (“ipRouteDest”) does not already exist.
To add a route using an SNMP set, you must specify a group of minimal objects.
These variable bindings must be contained in a single Protocol Data Unit (PDU).
The objects are described in more detail in the following sections. The minimal
set consists of:
H

ipRouteDest
ipRouteIfIndex

SNMP MIB Objects
The following objects are defaulted if not specified in the set PDU used to add a
route.
H
H
H
H
ipRouteMetric1 – Defaulted to 1 hop.
ipRouteMetric2 – Defaulted to –1 for standalone devices.
ipRouteType – Defaulted to indirect.
ipRouteMask – Defaulted as specified in the MIB description.
The following objects are unused in the DSU/CSU and setting them will have no
effect on the operation of the IP implementation.
H
H
ipRouteMetric3, ipRouteMetric4, ipRouteMetric5 – Defaulted to –1 as
specified in the MIB.
ipRouteNextHop – Defaulted to 0.0.0.0.
The following read-only objects must not be specified in the set PDU used to add
a route.
H
H
H
ipRouteProto – Set to netmgmt(3) by software.
ipRouteAge – Defaulted to 999.
ipRouteInfo – Set to OBJECT IDENTIFIER {0, 0} since it is unused.
IP Group – “ipRouteDest” Object (ipRouteEntry 1)
The ipRouteDest object serves as the index to the routing table. Since indexes for
tables must be unique, only one route per destination may appear in the table. To
ensure that no duplicate destinations appear in the routing table, the ipRouteDest
object of the ipRouteTable will be treated as described in RFC 1354 (IP
Forwarding Table MIB):
“The destination IP address of this route. An entry with a value of 0.0.0.0 is
considered a default route. This object may not take a Multicast (Class D)
address value. Any assignment (implicit or otherwise) of an instance of this object
to a value x must be rejected if the bitwise logical–AND of x with the value of the
corresponding instance of the ipForwardMask object is not equal to x.”
IP Group – “ipRouteIfIndex” Object (ipRouteEntry 1)
When the routing table is displayed, the ipRouteIfIndex object for some entries
may have a value greater than ifNumber. In these cases, the ipRouteIfIndex
refers to a proprietary interface which is not currently implemented by the
interface group of MIB II. Route entries with an unrecognized ipRouteIfIndex
value should not be deleted.
When setting this object via SNMP, the ipRouteIfIndex value can only assume an
appropriate value of ifIndex defined for the particular device type.

SNMP MIB Objects
IP Group – “ipRouteMetric2” Object (ipRouteEntry 4)
For standalone devices, ipRouteMetric2 is not used and contains –1.
When adding a route to the routing table using SNMP, do not specify a value for
ipRouteMetric2.
IP Group – “ipRouteProto” Object (ipRouteEntry 9)
This object is a read-only object and may have the following values in the
DSU/CSU.
H
H
other(1) – Temporary route added by IP.
local(2) – Route added or modified as a result of user configuration via the
front panel.
H
H
netmgmt(3) – Route added or modified by means of an SNMP set.
icmp(4) – Route added or modified by Internet Control Management Protocol
(ICMP).
H
rip(8) – Route added or modified by Routing Information Protocol (RIP) or
similar proprietary protocol.
IP Group – “ipRouteAge” Object (ipRouteEntry 10)
This object is implemented as a read-only object in the DSU/CSU. In the
DSU/CSU, it reflects the value of the route’s time-to-live (in seconds). When
displays, a value of 999 represents a route that is retained permanently. For
temporary routes, the ipRouteAge object decrements over time. All routes added
via an SNMP set of the ipRouteTable are considered permanent routes. These
routes do not age, but will remain unless deleted via SNMP.
ICMP Group, MIB II
The ICMP Group objects are fully supported by the DSU/CSU.
TCP Group, MIB II
The TCP Group objects are fully supported by the DSU/CSU, with the exception
of the tcpConnState object, which will be read-only.
UDP Group, MIB II
The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Group objects are fully supported by the
DSU/CSU.

The DS1 Near End Group consists of the following four tables:
H
H
H
H
DS1 Configuration
DS1 Current
DS1 Interval

All four tables are fully supported for the network interface. Since statistics are not
kept for the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface, only the DS1 Configuration table
is fully supported. The “statistic” objects for the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface
entry in the DS1 Current, DS1 Interval, and DS1 Total tables are always zero
(null). The following sections provide clarification for objects contained in the Near
End Group when it is not clear how the object definition in the DS1/E1 MIB is
related to the DSU/CSU.
Near End Group – “dsx1TimeElapsed” Object (dsx1ConfigEntry 3)
Applies to the network interface only. An error status is returned if access is
attempted for the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface.
Near End Group – “dsx1ValidIntervals” Object (dsx1ConfigEntry 4)

These tables are not supported for either the network or DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1)
interface.
DS1 Fractional Group, DS1/E1 MIB
The DS1 Fractional Group consists of the DS1 fractional table. This table
(dsx1FracTable) is fully supported by the DSU/CSU and allows channel (time
slots) to be mapped between the T1 interfaces and data ports. If an invalid
channel map (e.g., two interfaces mapped to a single time slot, one interface
mapped to two T1s, etc.) is received, an error will be returned to the SNMP
manager. The DSU/CSU will validate all channel configurations before applying
them.
Operational Note: The fractional T1 group only allows specification of an entire
interface to a particular time slot on another interface (i.e., a time slot on one
interface cannot be mapped to a time slot on another interface). This prevents
complete mapping of time slots on the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface to time
slots on the network interface. For mapping time slots between the network and
DTE T1 interfaces, the following convention is used: Time slots on the T1
interface that are mapped to another T1 interface (i.e., not a data port) are
connected in ascending order. For example, if the fractional table for the network
interface maps time slots 1, 3 and 5 to the DTE T1 interface and the DTE T1
interface maps time slots 10, 11 and 15 to the network the following time slots will
be connected: N1 to D10, N3 to D11 and N5 to D15.

the rs232PortInSpeed object has the same value as the rs232PortOutSpeed
object. The input speed of a synchronous data port is determined by the channel
configuration and cannot be changed through this object. Thus, for the
synchronous data ports, this object is read-only. The input speed of the AUX or
COM port is the currently configured speed. Setting of this value for the AUX or
COM port causes the configured port speed to be changed.
General Port Table – “rs232PortOutSpeed” Object (rs232PortEntry 6)
This object contains the port’s output speed in bits per second. For the
DSU/CSU, the rs232PortInSpeed object has the same value as the
rs232PortOutSpeed object. The input speed of a synchronous data port is
determined by the channel configuration and cannot be changed through this
object. Thus, for the synchronous data ports, this object is read-only. The input
speed of the AUX or COM port is the currently configured speed. Setting of this

IP Network Addressing Scenario
F
Overview
This appendix describes a means of configuring 31xx Series devices in an
Internet Protocol (IP) network to provide SNMP or Telnet connectivity. Since there
are many possible network addressing schemes, this appendix describes an
addressing scheme for a typical customer network management system (NMS)
scenario. This appendix is not intended to be an IP addressing or routing tutorial,
and a basic understanding of IP and 31xx Series devices is assumed.
IP Network Addressing
Series devices daisy chained together, with remotes connected via the FDL. In
this scenario, all 31xx Series devices are on the same subnet (135.18.1.0). The
subnet mask for each device is FF.FF.FF.00. A static route is set in the NMS host
to subnet 135.18.1.0.
The following notes apply to this scenario:
H
H
Connections to remote devices may be via EDL or FDL; however, the FDL is
only available on full T1 links (not fractional T1s). Check with the service
provider to be sure that the FDL is end-to-end (i.e., not terminated at an
intermediate point within the network).
Interconnected 31xx Series devices automatically pass routing information
between them; however, a static route to the subnet(s) must be set in the
routing table of the NMS host. This route uses the 31xx Series device
connected to the LAN (via the LAN Adapter), or the NMS (via a direct PPP or
SLIP connection) as a gateway to the subnet(s). In all instances, the
addressing scheme presented works for both the LAN and the direct
connections.
H
H
Although routing table entries are maintained automatically by 31xx Series
devices, without the need for user configuration, only a maximum of 100
routes is supported for a given device.
The choice of a host address within a given subnet is completely arbitrary.
Choose any legal host address for a given subnet, without regard to the local
or remote devices.

IP Network Addressing Scenario
H
Although the default route (to the NMS) is configurable for all devices, only
devices that have a direct external connection to an NMS (via the COM or
AUX ports) need a default route set. In the following examples, the default
port (COM or AUX) is set in the device connected to the LAN Adapter.
