CHAPTER 6: Configuring Network Options
Figure 6-1. Network Options Menu Tree.
6.1 Loop Rate
The Loop Rate option sets the loop operating speed. The unit should be set
to the rate required by the DDS service. The CSU/DSU MS DBU also supports
subrate DTE data over a 56-kbps or 64-kbps loop. The loop rate must be set
independently of the DTE rate. Eight loop-rate selections are available
(shown in Figure 6-1).
The default factory setting is Auto. The various loop rates and format selections
are listed in Table 6-1 with the equivalent AT commands that perform the same
configuration functions.
6.2 Network Address
A two-digit decimal address can be assigned to each CSU/DSU MS DBU.
This addressing capability makes it possible to perform remote configuration
and testing in point-to-point and multi-drop networks. Figure 6-1 shows the
menu path used to change the network address. The factory default setting is 0.
