About the DSU
SNMP Management Capabilities
The DSU supports SNMP Version 1, and can be managed by any
industry-standard SNMP manager and accessed using SNMP by external SNMP
managers.
Management Information Base (MIB) Support
The following MIBs are supported:
H
MIB II (RFC 1213 and RFC 1573) – Defines the general objects for use with
a network management protocol in TCP/IP internets and provides general
information about the DSU. MIB II is backward-compatible with MIB I.
H
RS-232-Like MIB (RFC 1659) – Defines objects for managing RS-232-type
interfaces (e.g., V.35, RS-422, RS-423, etc.) and supports the synchronous
data port on the DSU.
H
H
Ethernet-like MIB (RFC 1643) – Defines objects for managing Ethernet-like
interfaces (e.g., 10BaseT).
Enterprise MIB – Supports configuration, status, statistics, and tests.
Rear Panel Interface Connections
The following illustration shows the physical interfaces of the DSU. Information
about the installation of the DSU is contained in the Model 7612 SNMP DSU with

Controlling SNMP Access
There are three methods for limiting SNMP access.
H
H
Disable the SNMP management option. Refer to Table A-7, General SNMP
Management Options.
Assign SNMP community names and access types. The DSU supports
SNMP Version 1, which provides limited security through the use of
community names.
H
Limit SNMP access through validation of the IP address of each allowed
SNMP manager.
Assigning SNMP Community Names and Access Types
The DSU can be managed by an SNMP manager supporting SNMP. The
community name must be supplied by an external SNMP manager accessing an
object in the MIB.
To define SNMP community names, follow this menu selection sequence:
Main Menu → Configuration → Load Configuration From → Edit →
SNMP → General SNMP Management
Refer to Table A-7, General SNMP Management Options, to:
H
H
Enable SNMP Management.
Assign the SNMP community names of the SNMP Managers that are allowed
to access the DSU’s Management Information Base (MIB).
H
Specify Read or Read/Write access for each SNMP community name.
Limiting SNMP Access through the IP Addresses of the Managers
The DSU provides an additional level of security through validation of the
IP addresses.
The SNMP Management option must be enabled. To control SNMP access with
IP addresses, follow this menu selection sequence:
Main Menu → Configuration → Load Configuration From → Edit →
SNMP → SNMP NMS Security Options
Refer to Table A-8, SNMP NMS Security Options. The SNMP access can be
limited by:
H
H
Enabling NMS IP address validation to perform validation checks on the
IP address of an SNMP management system attempting to access the DSU.

Selecting an IP Addressing Scheme
You can select from many IP (Internet Protocol) addressing schemes to provide
SNMP NMS connectivity. Review the following information in preparation for
selecting an IP addressing scheme.
H
H
You can assign IP addresses to the:
— 10BaseT port
— IMC
When the IMC Routing Information Protocol option is set to Proprietary,
IP routing information is automatically passed between interconnected DSUs
from the network side.
A static route to the DSU that is managed over the IMC must be set in the
routing table of the NMS host or local router.
H
H
H
Each DSU’s internal routing table supports a maximum of 20 routes, even
though a single route is all that is needed to reach every device on a subnet.
Any legal host address is allowed for a given subnet; the address choice

IP Addressing
IP Addressing Scheme Examples
Management of IP addressing is based upon individual IP addresses assigned to
each interface. The IP interfaces for the unit are the:
H
H
Ethernet port: See Table A-4, Ethernet Port Options.
IMC: Set the In-Band Management Channel Rate (bps) to 1600, 4000, or
8000 bps; see Table A-2, Network Interface Options.
NOTE:
Do not assign IP addresses without the assistance of the parties who
determine the IP addressing scheme used for your organization.
The following illustrations and examples apply to IP management traffic only.
The subnet mask for each device in these examples is 255.255.255.000.
IMC Connection – Same Subnet
In this example, the DSU with the IMC IP address of 135.18.2.1 is connected to:
H
H
The NMS at the central site, via the 10BaseT port
A remote DSU through the proprietary IMC
The IMC is enabled (the rate is set to 1600, 4000, or 8000). See Table A-2,
Network Interface Options.
The Default Gateway Address is 000.000.000.000. See Table A-4, Ethernet Port
Options.
NOTE:
Interconnected DSUs will automatically pass routing information between
each other using a proprietary protocol. However, a static route to
subnet 135.18.2.0 must be set in the routing table of the NMS Host.

IP Addressing
Using Routers to Route DSU Management Data
In this example, the DSUs:
H
H
Receive their management data through the 10BaseT port connection to a
hub.
Do not route the data between themselves. (The IMC is disabled. See
Table A-2, Network Interface Options.) Routers route management data for
the connected DSUs using the management data path between the routers.
The NMS or Telnet host can be on the same subnet as the DSU, or it can connect
to the subnet the DSU is on through a router. If it uses a router, the DSU needs to
have a gateway router defined. The Default Gateway Address in the example is
135.18.4.1. See Table A-4, Ethernet Port Options.

A Test Timeout option is available to automatically terminate a user-initiated
Loopback or Pattern test (as opposed to manually terminating a test) after it
has been running a specified period of time. Refer to Table A-1, System
Options.
Test Timeout does not pertain to tests commanded by the:
— Network, such as the network-initiated CSU and DSU Loopbacks.
— DTE, such as the DTE-initiated Local Loopback.

Device Reset
The DSU can be reset locally or remotely. From the Control menu, select Reset
Device and press Return, then answer Yes to the verification message. The DSU
reinitializes itself, performing a Device Self-Test. Refer to Table 6-2, Self-Test
Results Messages, in Chapter 6.
Configuring the DSU improperly could make the user interface inaccessible,
leaving it in a state where an ATI session cannot be started through the Terminal
port or via a Telnet session. If this occurs, DSU connectivity can be restored with
a terminal that is directly connected and set for Terminal Port option defaults.
Two methods can be used to restore access to the ATI. Both methods cause a
device reset.
H
Reset Terminal Port – Allows you to only reset the configuration options
related to Terminal port usage. No security-related configuration options are
changed. Refer to Table A-5, Terminal Port Options, for defaults.
H
Reload Factory Defaults – Allows you to reload the Default Factory
Configuration, resetting all of the configuration areas and control settings for
security reasons. This method is useful when the user’s passwords have
been forgotten.
" Procedure
To reset Terminal port settings:
1. At the asynchronous terminal connected to the Terminal port, verify that the
terminal’s options are set to the default settings:
— Data Rate(Kbps) to 9.6
— Character Length to 8
— Stop Bits to 1
— Parity to None
2. Power the DSU Off and back On. The DSU performs a power-up routine.
3. Immediately after the OK and TEST LEDs light up, press the Return key
5 times quickly in succession. The System Paused screen appears.

LADS Timing
Possible Settings: Internal, External, Receive
Default Setting: Internal
Determines the timing source for the unit.
H LADS Timing option appears when Operating Mode is set to LADS.
Internal – Timing derived from the unit’s local clock. Use this setting for the LADS
primary timing unit that establishes the timing for both point-to-point units.
External – Timing is derived from the external clock provided by the DTE connected to
the V.35 interface on circuit CT113 (pins U, W).
NOTE: The valid rate generated by the DTE must be equal to the LADS line rate
minus the configured rate of 1600, 4000, or 8000 bps for the IMC, if
enabled. Refer to the In-Band Management Channel Rate (bps) option in
Table A-2.
Receive – Timing is derived from the line receive signal unless the unit is running
diagnostic tests. During the tests, the timing source is the internal clock. This setting
should be used for a LADS secondary timing unit.
LADS Line Rate (Kbps)
Possible Settings: 56, 64
Default Setting: 64
Line operating rate for LADS operation.
H LADS Line Rate (Kbps) option appears when Operating Mode is set to LADS.

MIB Descriptions
Interfaces Group
The Interfaces Group as defined in RFC 1573 consists of an object indicating the
number of interfaces supported by the unit and an interface table containing an
entry for each interface. Since RFC 1573 is an SNMPv2 MIB, it is converted to
SNMPv1 for support by the unit. Table C-2 provides clarification for objects
contained in the Interfaces group when it is not clear how the object definition in
RFC 1573 is supported by the unit.
