DSU Operations

To enable Term, a valid password must be entered from
the DCP. Enabling Term establishes async terminal
access.
Disab is the factory-loaded setting; the Term feature is
available, but disabled. To establish async terminal access,
you must enable the Term feature. Once async terminal
control is established, select Disab to return control of the
DSU to the DCP.
Password security protects access to the DSU. A valid
password can have up to 8 characters. Valid password
characters include letters a through z (both upper- and
lowercase), numbers 0 through 9, and the characters #,
dash ( – ), period (. ), or a slash ( / ). Contact your System
Administrator for access assistance.
Once async terminal access is established, the
Password Access Menu appears on the async terminal and
the password must be re-entered. (The DSU’s DCP is
disabled and displays User I/F – Idle.)
•
If valid, the DSU’s top-level menu is displayed on
the async terminal.
•
If invalid, the Password Access Menu reappears.
To change an existing password during an async
terminal session, select Pswrd and Chang from the Term
submenu. Enter the new password, press < CR >, and then
select 2 - Save.
To enter or change the customer identification that
appears at the top of each async terminal screen (e.g., to
change from a unit identifier to a site identifier), select
CID. Valid ID characters include letters A through Z,
numbers 0 through 9, and the characters #, dash ( – ),
period (. ), slash ( / ), or a space ( ).
Refer to Async Terminal Operation , Appendix D, for
additional information on managing the DSU using this
feature.

to display or change the status of the general-purpose
external DTE leads.

for Remote mode selections, enter the tributary address as
