Overview
This appendix provides assistance in using appropriate
cables when connecting the DSU to its network
management system. Reference these diagrams when
ordering cables, or when verifying the cables that are
required.
There are three sets of connectivity diagrams: control
channel ( Figure E-1 ), extended control channel
( Figure E-2 ), and diagnostic channel ( Figure E-3 ). Each
set shows a different combination of devices that can be
connected (e.g., the control channel diagram shows five
possible combinations – from a 6700 or 6800 Series NMS
to a Model 3610 DSU, from a 6700 or 6800 Series NMS
to a Model 3611 DSU, from a Model 3611 DSU to
another 3600 Series DSU, etc.).
Both the feature and part numbers are provided on
these diagrams for easier ordering and verification.
Instructions
To use the diagrams, follow this procedure:
1. Select the type of connection being installed:
control, extended control, or diagnostic channel.
2. Select the appropriate from–to configuration
within the selected set of diagrams.
3. Verify the cables, or other devices (e.g., hubbing
device), that are required.
As an example, suppose you are installing a diagnostic
connection between two Model 3610 DSUs. Go to
Figure E-3 , search the diagnostic channel diagrams for the
configuration from a Model 3610 DSU to another Model
3610 DSU (it is the third diagram in the figure). You now
know that you need two 3600 Hubbing Devices and an
M6BJ cable, which can be ordered in lengths of 3-, 10-,
and 25-foot lengths.
