SDLC/HDLC

configuration. Supported speeds range from 9600 bps to T1
(1.544 Mbps). Line encoding of NRZ, NRZI, and inverted
NRZI are supported.
The
IP-DSU
is easy to manage, providing several easy ways to configure and access
status/diagnostic information. A telnet connection to the
IP-DSU
using the standard
telnet server port (port 23), gives access to a command-line-based configuration
application. In addition, a serial RS232-C connection offers the same configuration
capability. Finally, the
IP-DSU
is another network element that the StarKeeper® II NMS
can administer, manage and maintain.
The
IP-DSU
can field upgraded. Upgrades are accomplished through two different I/O
interfaces accessed via its I/O board: Telnet or RS-232C.
The
IP-DSU
houses an SNMP Version 1 agent and supports a large array of MIB
variables.
Trap
,
Set
and
Get
operations are available as well.
The
IP-DSU
supports up to two RADIUS servers for login authentication.
These are a primary, and a secondary, although each is individually enabled. The
support is for either encrypted, or clear authorization. Encryption keys may
contain spaces.
