Introduction

Overview  
Features  
The DSU/CSU acts as an interface between the T1  
digital network and the customer premises equipment,  
converting signals received from the DTE (Data Terminal  
Equipment) to bipolar signals that can be transmitted over  
T1 lines. Typical applications include shared access to  
network-based services, Local Area Network (LAN)/Wide  
Area Network (WAN) interconnection, and fractional T1  
network applications.  
The DSU/CSU optimizes network performance with a  
wide range of features such as the following:  
Software configuration menu displayed via a liquid  
crystal display (LCD) to permit quick and easy  
operation, and elimination of complicated hardware  
strapping.  
Local or remote configuration and operation  
flexibility.  
In addition to the T1 network interface and the DTE  
Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface, the Model 3160 provides  
two synchronous data ports while the Model 3164  
provides four synchronous data ports. The Model 3165  
provides one synchronous data port, but does not provide  
the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface.  
Several loopback capabilities and test pattern  
generators.  
DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) capability.  
Alarm message display/print capability.  
The Model 3161 (carrier-mounted DSU/CSU) provides  
two ports in addition to the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1)  
interface and is designed to fit into the COMSPHERE  
3000 Series Carrier.  
Front panel emulation via Windows-based Front  
Panel Emulation software.  
Integral modem for standalone DSU/CSUs.  
For more information about the carrier-mounted  
DSU/CSU, refer to the ACCULINK 3151 CSU and 3161  
DSU/CSU General Information Guide and the  
Asynchronous (async) terminal interface support.  
Telnet access for remote async terminal operations.  
COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier Installation Manual.  
Network management provided through  
industry-standard Simple Network Management  
Protocol (SNMP).

ACCULINK 316x DSU/CSU  
DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) Interface  
Telnet Access  
The DTE Drop/Insert interface allows DTEs/PBXs that  
support the DS1 signal format to share the T1 network  
with other high-speed equipment. This is available on  
2-port and 4-port DSU/CSUs.  
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.  
Alarm Message Capability  
SNMP Management Support  
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.  
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.  
Front Panel Emulation  
The DSU/CSU offers functionality through Front Panel  
Emulation software that is similar to that provided by the  
DSU/CSU front panel. The functionality of the front panel  
is available by clicking on the function keys with the  
mouse rather than by pressing keys from the actual front  
panel.  
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.  
Integral Modem  
The standalone DSU/CSUs contain an integral  
low-speed (2400 bps), V.22bis dial modem that enables  
communication with remote devices such as another 316x  
DSU/CSU, an ASCII terminal or printer, or a PC running  
the 3100 Series Front Panel Emulation software.  
The SNMP management system can communicate to  
the DSU/CSU remotely through the Facility Data Link  
(FDL) or (for 2-port and 4-port DSU/CSUs) the  
Async Terminal Interface Support  
synchronous data port’s Embedded Data Link (EDL).  
The DSU/CSU can be configured and managed from  
an asynchronous (async) terminal. The async terminal’s  
full screen display uses a menu hierarchy similar to the  
DSU/CSU’s front panel. You can perform device  
management and configuration operations as if you are  
using the DSU/CSU’s front panel, but you do not have the  
limitation of the 2-line, 16-character LCD.

Important Instructions  
Optional Power Sources  
Read and follow all warning notices and instructions  
marked on the DSU/CSU or included in this guide.  
The DSU/CSU is typically powered by the ac power  
module. Use the following procedures only if you want  
to use an optional dc power source.  
For a complete listing of the safety instructions, see the  
this guide.  
Using the optional dc power cable, the DSU/CSU is  
capable of operating on either a +24 Vdc power source,  
48 Vdc single source battery, or 48 Vdc redundant  
source batteries (for power backup). To use dc power,  
choose one of the following power supply types.

Installation  
If the self-test fails, the Failed screen appears for  
five seconds. The Fail LED lights, and an  
Power-Up Self-Test  
eight-digit failure code (xxxxxxxx) is displayed for  
use by service personnel to determine the cause of  
the self-test failure. The DSU/CSU continues to  
try to operate. If you are in doubt about the results  
of the self-test, use the Self-Test Health command  
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  
The self-test includes a basic processor test, a limited  
memory test, a code checksum test, and basic verification  
tests of the internal components. The front panel LCD  
displays the progress and pass/fail status of these  
power-up tests.  
Self-Test:

Operation  
The configuration options are divided into functional  
options and defaults. These groups are:  
Changing Configuration  
Options  
DTE (DSX-1) Interface  
Port  
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,  
menus displayed for the Model 3160 (2 ports) and the  
Model 3164 (4 ports) differ due to the number of ports  
available. Also, if the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface  
selection is disabled, many of the menu choices do not  
appear. Be aware that although all options are shown in  
this guide, what you see on your DSU/CSU varies with  
your configuration.  
Network Interface

The DSU/CSU offers configuration options located in  
the following memory areas:  
The DSU/CSU arrives with two preset factory default  
configuration settings. These settings are based on the  
following:  
Active (Activ). This is the configuration option set  
currently active for the DSU/CSU. Before a  
configuration option set becomes active for the  
DSU/CSU, you must save the set to the Active area.  
When the DSU/CSU is shipped from the factory,  
the Active configuration option set is identical to  
the Factory set. This area can be written to and  
controls the current operation of the device.  
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.  
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.  
Customer 1 (Cust1). This is the first of two sets of  
customer-defined configuration options. This area  
can be written to.  
If neither of the factory default settings support your  
network’s configuration, you can customize the  
configuration options to better suit your application.  
Customer 2 (Cust2). This is the second of two sets  
of customer-defined configuration options. This  
area can be written to.  
Use the Configuration (Cnfig) branch of the front panel  
menu tree to display or change DSU/CSU configuration  
Factory 1 (Fact1). 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.  
Factory 1 options are read-only.  
Factory 2 (Fact2). 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. Factory 2 options are read-only.

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. Use the MODEM port when accessing the  
DSU/CSU through a dial-up connection.  
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 MODEM port can support either  
synchronous or asynchronous PPP, or asynchronous SLIP  
at data rates of up to 2400 bps.

Operation  
The example shown below assumes that the COM port  
is being used as the link to the SNMP or Telnet system.  
Setting the IP Address  
The IP address is the address used by the SNMP or  
Telnet system to access the DSU/CSU (see Appendix F,  
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).  
To select the COM port as the SNMP or Telnet link,  
1. From the top-level menu screen, select Cnfig.  
2. Select the configuration option set to be copied  
into the Edit area by using the appropriate  
Function key. Use the scroll keys, if necessary.  
The IP address is set for the MODEM port, 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 communication 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.

Function key. Use the scroll keys, if necessary.  
Block – 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. Only those initial DS0 channel numbers  
that provide enough bandwidth (based on the port’s data  
rate) are displayed on the screen. These channels are  
automatically assigned to the destination T1 interface  
(Network or DTE Drop/Insert) when the initial DS0

ACAMI (Alternate Channel Alternate Block

assigned by specifying a data port rate and an initial DS0  
channel (the first DS0 channel in a block of DS0  
channels). 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.

common clocking configurations. Two sample procedures  
for configuring timing are given in the following sections,  
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.  
NOTE  
The external clock source is only  
available for 2-port and 4-port  
DSU/CSUs. For carrier-mounted  
DSU/CSUs, the external clock  
provides timing for up to eight  
slots in the carrier. Each Auxiliary  
Backplane must have its own  
external clock input.  
The clock source configuration options enable you to  
select either the network interface, a synchronous data  
port, the internal clock, the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1)  
interface, or an external clock. If external clocking is  
selected, you must use the clock rate configuration option

Performance Reports  
When the network interface is configured for ESF  
operation, network performance is continuously  
monitored and maintained in two sets of aggregate  
registers: Carrier Network Interface Registers (Telco) and  
User Network Interface Registers (User). The User  
registers contain an extra status register (Status Event).  
Registers shown on the front panel LCD are listed in  
Table 4-3. These registers are status registers that collect  
performance data for the previous 24-hour period.  
Performance 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 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.

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

SNMP Traps  
Table 4-4  
Enterprise-Specific Trap Definitions  
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.  
Trap Value  
Event  
enterpriseClockFail(1)  
The currently configured  
master clock source has

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. For more

Operation.  
enterpriseSelfTestFail(2)  
A DSU/CSU hardware  
failure is detected at

generated after DSU/CSU  
initialization.  
enterpriseDeviceFail(3)  
enterpriseTestStart(5)  
An internal DSU/CSU  
failure is detected by the

A test is initiated.  
Trap types consist of the following:  
enterpriseConfigChange(6) A configuration option is  
changed.  
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 set by  
the Gen Trap configuration option.

Port (DTE) Initiated Loopbacks. Allows the initiation and termination of a local Data Terminal Loopback (DTLB) or remote  
Data Channel Loopback (DCLB) by the DTE connected to this port. (DTLB is equivalent to a V.54 loop 3, and DCLB is  
equivalent to a V.54 loop 2.) Control of these loopbacks is through the DTE interchange circuits as specified by the V.54  
standard.  
Disab – Disables control of local DTLBs and remote DCLBs by the DTE connected to this port.  
DTLB – Gives control of the local DTLBs for this port to the DTE attached to this port. This loopback is controlled by the  
Local Loopback interchange circuit LL (CCITT 141).  
DCLB – Gives control of the remote DCLBs for the far-end port connected to this port to the DTE attached to this port.  
This loopback is controlled by the Remote Loopback interchange circuit RL (CCITT 140). The far-end equipment must  
support in-band V.54 loopbacks.  
Both – Gives control of local DTLBs and remote DCLBs to the DTE connected to this port.  
All Ones: Both  
Next Disab DTR RTS Both Prev  
Send All Ones on Data Port Not Ready. Specifies the conditions on the data port that determine when valid data is not  
being sent from the DTE. When this condition is detected, all ones are sent to the network on the DS0 channels allocated  
to the port.  
Disab – Disables the monitoring of interchange circuits from the DTE connected to this port.  
DTR – Monitors the DTE Ready interchange circuit CD (CCITT 108/1/2). When DTR is interrupted, all ones are sent to  
the network.  
RTS – Monitors the Request-to-Send interchange circuit CA (CCITT 105). When RTS is interrupted, all ones are sent to  
the network.  
Both – Monitors both DTR and RTS. If either is interrupted, all ones are sent to the network.  
NOTE: If the Port Type configuration option is set to X.21, set this configuration option to RTS or Disab.  
Rcv Yellow: Halt  
Next None Halt Prev  
Action on Network Yellow Alarm. Specifies the action taken on this port when a Yellow Alarm is received on the network  
interface.  
None – Makes the data port unaffected by Yellow Alarms received on the network interface.  
Halt – Stops the transmission of data on the port and disables the data port when Yellow Alarms are received on the  
network interface. When Yellow Alarms are received, all ones are sent on the Received Data interchange circuit BB  
(CCITT 104). The Clear-to-Send interchange circuit CB (CCITT 106) is interrupted.  
Tx Clock: Int  
Next Int Ext Prev  
Data Port Transmit Clock. Specifies whether the transmitted data for the port is clocked using an internal clock provided  
by the DSU/CSU (synchronized to the clock source specified by the clock source configuration option in the General  
configuration option group) or an external clock provided by the DTE connected to the port. When an external clock is  
used, it must be synchronized to the same clock source as the DSU/CSU.  
Int – Indicates the clock is provided internally by the DSU/CSU on the TXC interchange circuit DB (CCITT 114).  
Ext – Indicates the clock is provided externally by the DTE on the XTXC interchange circuit DA (CCITT 113). Use this  
selection when the clock source is set to this data port.

Invert Transmit Clock. 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.  
Enab – Indicates TXC supplied by the DSU/CSU on this port is phase inverted.  
Disab – Indicates TXC supplied by the DSU/CSU on this port is not phase inverted.  
InvrtData: Disab  
Next Enab Disab Prev  
Invert Transmitted and Received Data. 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.  
Enab – Indicates the transmitted data and received data for this port are inverted.  
Disab – Indicates the transmitted data and received data for this port are not inverted.  
EDL: Disab  
Next Enab Disab Prev  
Embedded Data Link. 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

Next NET DTE Prtn Prtn Prtn Prev  
Data Port Channel Allocation Destination. Allows you to assign this port to DS0 channels on either the network interface,  
the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface, or another port.  
NET – 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.  
Prtn – Assigns this port to another port, where n is the port number of all available ports except the port selected from the  
Channel Config screen. For example, if you select Prt1 from the Channel Config screen, Prt2, Prt3, and Prt4 appear for  
4-port DSU/CSUs. Use this feature to designate a port as a backup port. You can attach an external backup device to  
Prtn 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. Selecting Prtn and Next takes you directly to the Port Rate  
configuration option, bypassing the Assign By configuration option. EDL (for 2-port and 4-port DSU/CSUs) 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 (NET or DTE) deallocates all DS0 channels  
assigned to the previous interface.  
Assign By: Block  
Next Block ACAMI Chan Prev  
Data Port Channel Allocation Method. If NET or DTE is selected 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.  
Chan – Allocates DS0 channels to this port by the individual channel method.  
NOTE: Changing this configuration option from one method to another (Block, ACAMI, or Chan) deallocates all DS0  
channels assigned to either the network interface or the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface.

Data Port Rate (appears when using the block or ACAMI channel allocation method, or when a synchronous data port is  
assigned to another synchronous data port). Designates the data rate for the port. Available selections depend on the  
current base rate configured for the port. The factory default for Nx64 is 384 kbps, and Nx56 is 336 kbps.  
NOTE: This configuration option does not appear if the individual channel allocation method (Chan) is selected using the  
Assign By configuration option.  
NOTE: Changing this configuration option from one rate to another deallocates all DS0 channels assigned to either the  
network interface or the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface.  
NOTE: When you enable EDL (for 2-port and 4-port DSU/CSUs), 8 kbps of the total bandwidth allocated for this port is  
not available to the synchronous data port. For example, if you select 256 kbps and EDL is enabled, only  
248 kbps are available.  
NOTE: When you enable EDL (for 2-port and 4-port DSU/CSUs) on a synchronous data port and the clock source is set  
to that synchronous data port, the external device must provide a clock of 8 kbps less than the expected data  
port rate. For example, if you select 64 kbps, the external clock source must supply a 56 kbps clock signal.  
NOTE: For the 3164 DSU/CSU there is a hardware limitation that limits the combined bandwidth used by Port 1 and  
Port 3 to a total of 2048 kbps and the combined bandwidth used by Port 2 and Port 4 to 2048 kbps. Thus, when  
entering this menu, the rate choices are limited due to this constraint. This limitation only occurs in configurations  
mapping a port to a port or when mapping ports to the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface and to the network.

AUX Port Interface  
NOTE  
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  
For daisy-chaining an AUX port  
to a COM port, a 25-pin-to-8-pin,  
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.

Therefore, set this object to 15 (the sum  
of 1 + 2 + 4 + 8).  
Net T1  
DTE T1  
Interface Group, MIB II  
COM port  
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, 2, or 4  
depending on the model), the COM port, the AUX port,  
and the MODEM port, if they apply. 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.  
Modem port  
Auxiliary RS-232 port  
DCE port 1  
DCE port 2  
The supported ifIndexes for the 3164 DSU/CSU are:  
Net T1

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.  
The supported ifIndexes for the 3165 DSU/CSU are:  
Interface Group – “ifIndex” Object (ifEntry 1)  
Net T1  
This object provides the index into the ifTable and  
typically into tables in other MIBs also. The values of the  
ifIndex object do not vary between models even though  
not all indexes are supported for a particular model. When  
an unsupported index is accessed, “noSuchName” is  
returned.

This object provides information about the interface.  
Each interface displays a text string as shown below:  
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.  
Network T1:  
DTE T1:  
COM:  
“Network T1. [Company Name]  
T1 DSU/CSU, Hardware Version:  
[CCA number for the CSU  
board]”.  
Interface Group – “ifSpeed” Object (ifEntry 5)  
“DTE T1. [Company Name] T1  
DSU/CSU, Hardware Version:  
[CCA number for the CSU  
board]”.  
This object provides the interface’s current bandwidth  
in bits per second. The value of this object for each  
interface is specified as follows:  
“COM port. [Company Name] T1  
DSU/CSU, Hardware Version:  
[CCA number for the CSU board  
for the standalone, or the CCA  
number for the DSU board for the  
carrier]”.  
T1 Interfaces:  
COM, AUX,  
1,544,000 bps.  
The currently configured data rate  
and MODEM: 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.  
Modem:  
AUX:  
“MODEM port. [Company Name]  
T1 DSU/CSU, Hardware Version:  
[CCA number for the CSU  
board]”.  
“AUX port. [Company Name] T1  
DSU/CSU, Hardware Version:  
[CCA number for the CSU  
board]”.  
Interface Group – “ifAdminStatus” Object  
(ifEntry 7)  
Data Ports:  
“Data Port n. [Company Name] T1  
DSU/CSU, Hardware Version:  
[CCA number for the DSU board]”  
(where n is 1 to 4).  
This object specifies the desired state (configuration)  
of the interface. This object is supported only for the  
COM and MODEM ports. 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 or MODEM port. Only  
the following values are supported by the DSU/CSU:  
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:  
up(1) – The SNMP management link is active on  
the COM or MODEM port.  
testing(3) – The SNMP management link is inactive  
on the COM or MODEM port. These ports can be  
used for proprietary ASCII functions.  
ds1 – Used for the network and DTE Drop/Insert  
(DSX-1) interfaces.

SNMP MIB Objects  
Interface Group – “ifOperStatus” Object  
(ifEntry 8)  
Data Ports:  
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.  
This object specifies the current operational state of the  
interface. The value of this object for each interface is  
defined as follows:  
The interface is down(2) when the  
port is unassigned, or either CTS  
or DSR is OFF.  
Network T1:  
The interface is up(1) when no  
alarm conditions exist.  
The interface is testing(3) when a  
test is active on the interface.  
The interface is down(2) when an  
alarm condition is active.  
The interface is testing(3) when a  
test is active on the interface.  
Interface Group – “ifLastChange” Object  
(ifEntry 9)  
DTE T1:  
The interface is up(1) when no  
alarm conditions exist and the  
interface is enabled.  
This object contains the value of “sysUpTime” at the  
time the interface entered its current operational state.  
The interface is down(2) when an  
alarm condition is active and the  
interface is disabled.  
Interface Group – Input Counters  
(objects ifEntry 10 to ifEntry 15)  
The interface is testing(3) when a  
test is active on the interface.  
These objects collect statistics on the data received by  
the COM port, the AUX port, and the MODEM port when  
these ports are configured as SNMP management links.  
For interfaces that are not configured as an SNMP  
management link, these statistics are not provided and an  
error status is returned if access is attempted. The objects  
used to collect input statistics are listed below:  
COM Port:  
AUX Port:  
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.  
ifInOctets (ifEntry 10)  
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).  
ifInUcastPkts (ifEntry 11)  
ifInNUcastPkts (ifEntry 12)  
ifInDiscards (ifEntry 13)  
ifInErrors (ifEntry 14)  
The interface is never in the  
testing(3) state.  
MODEM Port: When configured as an SNMP  
management link, up and down are  
based on the current state of the  
ifInUnknownProtos (ifEntry 15)  
link layer protocol. Otherwise, the

Interface Group – Output Counters  
(objects ifEntry 16 to ifEntry 21)  
IP Group – “ipAdEntAddr” Object  
(ipAddrEntry 1)  
These objects collect statistics on the data received by  
the COM port, the AUX port, and the MODEM port when  
these ports are configured as SNMP management links.  
For interfaces that are not configured as an SNMP  
management link, these statistics are not provided and an  
error status is returned if access is attempted. The objects  
used to collect output statistics are listed below:  
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, MIB II  
IP Group – “ipRouteTable” Object (ip 21)  
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 MODEM,  
COM, AUX, carrier SNMP bus, 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.  
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  
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.  
(“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:  
forwarding(1) – The unit is acting as a gateway.

SNMP MIB Objects  
The following objects are defaulted if not specified in  
the set PDU used to add a route.  
IP Group – “ipRouteIfIndex” Object  
(ipRouteEntry 1)  
ipRouteMetric1 – Defaulted to 1 hop.  
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.  
ipRouteMetric2 – Defaulted to current slot for  
carrier devices and –1 for standalone devices.  
ipRouteType – Defaulted to indirect.  
ipRouteMask – Defaulted as specified in the MIB  
description.  
When setting this object via SNMP, the ipRouteIfIndex  
value can only assume an appropriate value of ifIndex  
defined for the particular device type.  
The following objects are unused in the DSU/CSU and  
setting them will have no effect on the operation of the IP  
implementation.  
IP Group – “ipRouteMetric2” Object  
(ipRouteEntry 4)  
ipRouteMetric3, ipRouteMetric4, ipRouteMetric5 –  
Defaulted to –1 as specified in the MIB.  
The following values are displayed for the  
ipRouteNextHop – Defaulted to 0.0.0.0.  
ipRouteMetric2 object. For a carrier device designated as  
the IP Bus Master, ipRouteMetric2 is used to designate  
the slot number of the next hop associated with this route  
if the destination is not connected to the device. For  
carrier devices not designated as the IP Bus Master or IP  
Bus Master devices in which the destination is connected  
to the device, ipRouteMetric2 contains the slot number  
(0–15) of the carrier device. For standalone devices,  
ipRouteMetric2 is not used and contains –1.  
The following read-only objects must not be specified  
in the set PDU used to add a route.  
ipRouteProto – Set to netmgmt(3) by software.  
ipRouteAge – Defaulted to 999.  
ipRouteInfo – Set to OBJECT IDENTIFIER {0, 0}  
since it is unused.  
When adding a route to the routing table using SNMP,  
do not specify a value for ipRouteMetric2.  
IP Group – “ipRouteDest” Object  
(ipRouteEntry 1)  
IP Group – “ipRouteProto” Object  
(ipRouteEntry 9)  
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):  
This object is a read-only object and may have the  
following values in the DSU/CSU.  
other(1) – Temporary route added by IP.  
local(2) – Route added or modified as a result of  
user configuration via the front panel.  
“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

IP Group – “ipRouteAge” Object  
(ipRouteEntry 10)  
SNMP Group, MIB II  
The SNMP Group objects that apply to a management  
agent are fully supported by the DSU/CSU. The following  
objects apply only to an NMS and return a zero value if  
accessed.  
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.

UDP Group, MIB II  
The “ds1” object defined by RFC 1406 is supported for  
both the network and DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1)  
interfaces. The DS1 Near End Group and DS1 Fractional  
Group are supported for both interfaces. The DS1 Far End  
Group is not supported.  
The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Group objects are  
fully supported by the DSU/CSU.  
Transmission Group, MIB II  
Objects in the transmission group are supported on the  
network and DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interfaces, the  
COM port, the MODEM port, the AUX port, and the  
synchronous data ports. The objects in the transmission  
group are not defined within MIB II, but rather through  
other Internet standard MIB definitions. The following  
two transmission group objects are supported by the  
DSU/CSU.  
Near End Group, DS1/E1 MIB  
The DS1 Near End Group consists of the following  
four tables:  
DS1 Configuration  
DS1 Current  
DS1 Interval  
DS1 Total  
ds1 (transmission 18) – The transmission object  
supported on the T1 interfaces.  
rs232 (transmission 33) – The transmission object  
supported on the synchronous data ports, COM

SNMP MIB Objects  
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.

DS1 Fractional Group, DS1/E1 MIB  
dsx1IntervalESs – Errored Seconds for the interval.  
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

ACCULINK 316x DSU/CSU  
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.  
General Port Table, RS-232-like MIB  
The general port table contains general configuration  
objects for the RS-232-like interfaces.  
General Port Table – “rs232PortIndex” Object  
(rs232PortEntry 1)  
This object contains a unique value for each port and is  
used as an index into the general port table  
(rs232PortTable). The values of the rs232PortIndex object  
vary between models and are listed below.  
The values of rs232PortIndex for the 3160 DSU/CSU  
are:

2 – Modem port  
3 – Auxiliary RS-232 port  
4 – DCE port 1  
RS-232-like MIB (RFC 1317)  
The “rs232” object defined by RFC 1317 is supported  
for all of the synchronous data ports, the MODEM port,  
the COM port, and the AUX port. The RS-232-like MIB  
consists of one object and five tables, as follows:

SNMP MIB Objects  
General Port Table – “rs232PortType” Object  
(rs232PortEntry 2)  
General Port Table – “rs232PortOutSpeed”  
Object (rs232PortEntry 6)  
This object is used to identify the port’s hardware type.  
Only the following values are supported by the  
DSU/CSU.  
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 MODEM,  
AUX, or COM port is the currently configured speed.  
Setting of this value for the MODEM, AUX, or COM port  
causes the configured port speed to be changed.  
rs232(2) – Used to identify the MODEM, AUX,  
and COM ports.  
rs422(3) – Used to identify synchronous data ports  
that are configured as EIA-530A or RS-449.  
V35(5) – Used to identify synchronous data ports  
that are configured as V.35.  
Asynchronous Port Table, RS-232-like MIB  
General Port Table – “rs232PortInSigNumber”  
Object (rs232PortEntry 3)  
The asynchronous port table contains an entry for the  
MODEM, AUX, or COM port when the port is configured  
for asynchronous operation. For the DSU/CSU, the entries  
in the table that are counters (rs232AsyncPortEntry 6–8)  
are used to collect statistics and are not supported.  
This object contains the number of input signals  
contained in the input signal table. This is the number of  
signals that can be detected. This number is 2 for the  
synchronous data ports and 0 for the MODEM, AUX, and  
COM ports.  
Asynchronous Port Table, “rs232AsyncPortBits”  
(rs232AsyncPortEntry 2)  
General Port Table – “rs232PortOutSigNumber”  
Object (rs232PortEntry 4)  
This object specifies the number of bits in a character.  
Only the following values are supported by the  
DSU/CSU.  
This object contains the number of output signals  
contained in the output signal table. This is the number of  
signals that can be asserted. This number is 2 for the  
synchronous data ports and 0 for the MODEM, AUX,  
and COM ports.  
7 – 7-bit characters. Supported on the COM and  
MODEM ports only.  
8 – 8-bit characters.  
General Port Table – “rs232PortInSpeed”  
Object (rs232PortEntry 5)  
Asynchronous Port Table,  
“rs232AsyncPortStopBits”  
(rs232AsyncPortEntry 3)  
This object contains the port’s input 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 MODEM,  
AUX, or COM port is the currently configured speed.  
Setting of this value for the MODEM, AUX, or COM port  
causes the configured port speed to be changed.

IP Network Addressing Scenarios  
F
Although routing table entries are maintained  
Overview  
automatically by 31xx Series devices, without the  
need for user configuration, only a maximum of  
100 routes is supported for a given device.  
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 typical customer  
network management system (NMS) scenarios. 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.  
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.  
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.  
The following notes apply to these scenarios:  
Connections to remote devices may be via EDL  
(for 2-port and 4-port DSU/CSUs) 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.

Scenario 1  
31xx 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.

communicating with standalone remotes. This scenario is  
similar to the previous one, treating the carrier devices as  
the daisy-chained devices. All devices are still on the  
same subnet, and the subnet mask is FF.FF.FF.00. A static  
route still must be set in the NMS host to subnet

Scenario 3  
This third scenario (Figure F-3) shows a local carrier  
connected to remote carriers that have remote standalones.  
Each carrier must be on a separate subnet but, as in the  
previous scenario, the carrier-remote combination can  
share a common subnet. Once again, the subnet mask is  
FF.FF.FF.00 for all devices. A static route must be set up  
in the NMS host for each subnet: 135.18.4.0, 135.18.6.0,  
135.18.20.0.

Scenario 4  
An alternative addressing scheme, for the network is  
FF.FF.00.00 for the COM port in the central-site carrier  
(only), with all of the remaining subnet masks set to  
FF.FF.FF.00. The advantage to this scheme is that only  
one route must be added to the NMS host (135.18.0.0).

carrier connected to different NMSs. This might be used  
in service-provider applications, where some of the  
carrier’s circuit cards (and their remotes) are managed by  
one NMS and other cards are managed by a different  
NMS. In this example, each card and remote is on a  
separate subnet. Also, note that each LAN Adapter  
connection is on a different subnet. The subnet mask is  
FF.FF.FF.00. The NMS hosts would only need routes  
added for the subnets that they are to manage.

Overview  
Installing Front Panel  
Emulation Software  
The Front Panel Emulation software is supplied on a  
3.5-inch, 1.44 MB, double-sided, high-density,  
write-protected diskette, with 15 sectors per track,  
80 tracks per side, and 96 tracks per inch.  
The DSU/CSU offers functionality through Front Panel  
Emulation software that is similar to that provided by the  
DSU/CSU front panel. The DSU/CSU can either be  
locally or remotely attached to a 386 or higher PC that has  
at least 4 MB of RAM. A copy of the DSU/CSU front  
panel appears on the PC. The functionality of the front  
panel is available by clicking on the Function keys with  
the mouse rather than by pressing keys from the actual  
front panel.  
This software must be installed on a 386 or higher PC  
with Microsoft Windows Release 3.1 or higher, MS-DOS  
3.3 or higher, and at least 4 MB of RAM. A VGA color  
monitor with VGA adapter (or higher resolution) is  
required. A mouse is also required. The following  
procedures must be performed in the Windows  
environment.  
For carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs, a single PC is used to  
access all of the slots in the carrier. The PC is connected  
locally to a single slot containing either a 3151 CSU or  
3161 DSU/CSU that has been configured to enable a  
shared COM port on the Auxiliary Backplane. The  
attached PC can access any 3151/3161 device attached to  
the Auxiliary Backplane. For more information about  
using the COM port on the carrier, refer to the  
ACCULINK 3151 CSU and 3161 DSU/CSU General  
Information Guide.  
To install Front Panel Emulation software,  
1. Insert the diskette into the appropriate drive.  
2. Select File from Program Manager.  
3. Choose Run.  
4. Type A:INSTALLand click OK.  
5. An Information screen appears. Choose Continue  
to continue the installation.

6. Type the letter of the destination drive, followed  
by a colon (default is C:), then the appropriate  
directory name (default is C:\FRONTPAN).  
3. Double click on the Front Panel icon that appears  
in the Front Panel window. The Front Panel  
Emulation screen appears.  
If the selected directory already exists, the  
following message appears: The specified  
directory already exists. Do you want to  
overwrite the directory?  
4. Enter the Com Port and Speed from the  
drop-down selection list boxes.  
If the selected directory is new, the following  
message appears: The specified directory does  
not exist. Do you want to create the directory?  
7. Select Yes. A confirmation screen appears. Select  
Install to continue the installation.  
8. A Setup Completed screen appears. Select  
Continue. The Program Manager screen appears  
with the Front Panel icon.  
The Com Port field needs to contain the actual  
communications port name as recorded in the  
Windows information file (INI).  
Starting Front Panel  
Emulation  
If the DSU/CSU selected is not locally attached to the  
PC, you must first dial to the remote DSU/CSU before  
starting front panel emulation. The modem attached to the  
PC must support AT commands for the Front Panel  
Emulation software to successfully place the call.  
The Speed field needs to contain one of the  
following communications speeds: 1200, 2400,  
4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, or 38400 and should  
match the DSU/CSU’s COM port configuration.  
5. Choose either a Local (for near-end DSU/CSU) or  
Remote (for far-end DSU/CSU) destination.  
To start front panel emulation,  
6. If you chose a Local destination, click on the  
Execute button. If you chose a Remote  
destination, enter the telephone number of the  
far-end DSU/CSU in the Phone Number field,  
then click on the Dial button.  
1. From the PC, open Program Manager from  
Windows.  
2. Double click on the Front Panel icon that appears  
after the Front Panel Emulation program is  
installed on the PC. The Front Panel window  
opens.  
7. The front panel of the selected DSU/CSU appears  
on the PC.  
NOTE  
When using Front Panel  
Emulation, no LEDs are shown on  
the PC’s screen; you must use  
the Stat command procedure to  
get LED information (see the  
Displaying LED Conditions  
section in Chapter 3, Operation).

Before using the async terminal, you may use the  
DSU/CSU’s front panel to set certain configuration  
options for async terminal operation. Use the  
Configuration (Cnfig) branch of the front panel menu and  
edit the User Interface (User) configuration options for  
Overview  
You can configure and manage the DSU/CSU from an  
asynchronous (async) terminal that is configured for  
9.6 kbps, 8 characters, no parity, and 1 stop bit.  
This appendix provides operational examples to help  
you become familiar with the use of the async terminal for  
DSU/CSU control.  
To connect the async terminal to the DSU/CSU using  
By convention throughout this appendix, examples of  
screens are shown as they appear with the standalone  
4-port DSU/CSU.  
If the DSU/CSU is misconfigured, leaving it in a state  
that does not support async terminal operation, the  
recovery procedure consists of power cycling the  
DSU/CSU, waiting for the completion of the power-up  
self-test, and then pressing the async terminal’s Return  
key five times in succession. (Begin pressing the Return  
key within two seconds after the completion of power-up  
self-test, and do not wait longer than one second between  
each successive key press.) This procedure allows you to  
use the System Paused screen to reset the COM port  
configuration options or to reload all factory default  
configuration options.  
Before Using the Async  
Terminal  
You can connect the async terminal directly to the  
COM port of the DSU/CSU, or you can establish a remote  
connection using dial-in (via the integral modem) or  
Telnet access.
