Control Port Operation

The NIU3 PM front panel DB-9 provides an RS-232 
craft interface for connection to a controlling terminal. 
The DB-9 pinout is shown in 

Figure 6

. A terminal 

session is initiated upon insertion of a DB-9 jack into 
the RS-232 craft interface. The terminal interface 
operates at data rates from 1.2 kbps to 19.2 kbps. The 
asynchronous data format is fixed at 8 data bits, no 
parity, and 1 stop bit. The supported terminal type is 
VT100 or compatible.

Terminal Session

The NIU3 PM synchronizes upon insertion in a 
powered-up shelf or housing. After synchronization, 
terminal sessions provide access to screen menus for 
provisioning, monitoring, testing, or obtaining perfor-
mance or event history. Terminal session screen access 

is available at any time during operation. The screens 
shown in this practice identify the main menu screens; 
subordinate screens are not depicted. Abbreviations 
used in screen diagrams are explained in 

Table 4 

on 

page 8.

NOTE

If using a personal computer with terminal 
emulation capability, disable all power saving 
programs. Otherwise, communication between 
the PC and the NIU3 PM may be disrupted, 
resulting in misplaced characters, or screen 
time outs.

NOTE

Not all option screens are shown in this 
document. Many screen options selected will 
advance to additional screens with additional 
options. Navigation through the complete 
option menu series is enhanced with on-screen 
instructions.

Pseudorandom Pattern

: This format designates the pattern used to simulate live T3 data.

AIS

Alarm Indication Signal

: An alarm indication signal is a framed, alternating 1s and 0s (1010...) signal 

sent down or up stream by a device when it detects an error condition or receives an error notification 
from another unit in the transmission path.

AISS-P

AIS Seconds-Path

: This condition is defined as a count of 1-second intervals containing one or more 

AIS defects.

BPV

Bipolar Violation

: This violation represents the occurrence of a pulse of the same polarity as the 

previous pulse. BPVs that are part of the zero substitution code are excluded.

C-Bit

DS3 C-Bit Parity

: This format is defined as a framed DS3 signal with an application identification 

channel signal set to 1. The C-Bit channel is available for carrying parity information, FEBE bits, far-
end alarm and control signals, etc.

CV-L

Code Violation Count

: This count represents the number of BPVs and EXZs occurring over the 

accumulation period.
