DSU Operations
4-7 3610-A2-GB91-90 July 1999
Remote Branch Menu
The Remote (Remot) branch of the top-level menu
controls operation, configuration, and diagnostics for one
remote DSU, DBM, and TDM or MCMP at a time. The
DBM-V, DBM-S, or DBM-D, and SNA Diagnostic
Interface options are also supported. This branch is
available to a control or a point-to-point tributary. For a
control DSU, the remote DSU is a tributary; for a
tributary DSU, the remote DSU is a control.
NOTE
The DSU operates in Remote
mode once the Remote (Remot)
branch of the menu tree is
selected.
When selecting the Remote branch, an address must be
entered. The range for a DSU address is 1 to 255 (with
some exceptions); the DBM address is based on the
attached DSU address (DSU address plus 1). To assign
DSU and DBM addresses, refer to the section entitled
Addressing in Chapter 1.
The address on the following display is for a remote
DSU with a network address 3. Pressing the F1 key
advances the address to 4; pressing the F2 key decreases
the address to 2.

Local/Remote Menu Subbranches
The Local branch menu has five subbranches and the
Remote branch menu has four:
•
The Status (Stat) branch provides reports on health
and status of the DSU and DBM, the DTE’s
EIA-232-D and V.35 interfaces, the identity of the
DSU (model number, serial number, etc.), identifies
the terminal’s power (checks the presence of
voltage on the DTE’s request-to-send lead), and if
there is a dialed PSTN connection, the quality of
the PSTN circuit.
•
The Backup (Bckup) branch controls the operation
of the dial backup feature. This branch is available
if a DBM is installed or Aggregate Switch
(AggrSwitch) is enabled, but only from the Local
branch.
•
The Test branch provides extensive testing
capabilities for the DSU; the DDS circuit; the
DBM, if installed; and the backup circuit, if there is
a backup call established.
NOTE
If the Test branch does not
appear, the DSU is in Display
mode; you can read the values
but not change them. Only
authorized persons can change
values for the DSU. Contact your
System Administrator for further
information.
•
The Configuration (Confg) branch provides the
ability to customize the DSU, DBM, and TDM or
MCMP software configuration options, to enter and
change telephone numbers (if a DBM is installed),
to select the DSU network address, and to specify
the protocol used by a connected NMS.
•
The Control (Ctrl) branch provides the ability to
display and change external leads and enable or
disable the DSU/DBM. For a DSU with TDM or
MCMP, this branch allows you to enable or disable
individual ports and to choose which of the six
ports the LEDS are to monitor. The circuit
designation status indicators (TXD, RXD, etc.)
reflect the status of the selected port.
