Change Protocol Mode
For a 3600 Series DSU, the network management
protocol can be selected from the DCP using the Change
Protocol Mode (ChgMd) feature. The selections available
are:
•
Advanced Diagnostic protocol (ADp), which is
used by the COMSPHERE 6700 or 6800 Series
NMS.
•
DATAPHONE II protocol (DPII), which is used by
the COMSPHERE 6800 Series NMS and by the
DATAPHONE II System Controller, Diagnostic
Console, and Network Controller.
•
Diagnostic MicroComputer protocol (DMC), which
is used by the ANALYSIS 6510 NMS. This
protocol is set on the SDU in a COMSPHERE
3000 Series Carrier if a Model 3611 DSU is used or
from the DCP if a Model 3611 DSU is used.
ChgMd is not available to a tributary DSU or DBM
that is configured for disruptive or no diagnostics (Diag
Type is set to Disr or None), or a single-port multipoint
tributary DSU.
NOTE
DMC protocol is always disruptive
to data. Therefore, you will not be
able to Save (changes) to DMC
protocol if the DSU is configured
for nondisruptive or mixed
diagnostics.
Both the control and tributary DSUs must be
configured for the same protocol, and in a carrier-mounted
configuration, the SDU must be configured for the same
protocol (ADp/DPII or DMC) as the DSU.
To access the ChgMd selections from the top-level
menu, make the following selections:
•
Local (F1), or Remot (F2) and Address
•
Confg

Async Terminal
The Async Terminal (Term) feature, available only to
a Model 3610 (standalone) DSU with firmware version
(DSU SW ver) 6.3x or greater, allows you to manage the
DSU through menus displayed using any async terminal.
This feature is enabled or disabled from this subbranch.
Once enabled, the async terminal operates exactly as the
DCP, but without the limitation of the 2-line, 16-character
LCD. An entire menu (or submenu), test result, or range
of configuration option selections appears on a single
screen.
