CHAPTER 1: Introduction
MIB
Index to the organized data within a network device. It defines the operation
parameters that can be controlled or monitored.
The CSU/DSU MS DBU supports the MIB-II standard, RFC 1213, and Black Box
Enterprise Specific MIB. MIB files are available from Black Box in the support
section of the Black Box Web page at www.blackbox.com.
The CSU/DSU MS DBU’s embedded SNMP feature allows the unit to be accessed
and controlled by a network manager either through a device running SLIP or
async PPP protocol (connected to the CONTROL port of the DSU) or through
a LAN. LAN connection requires the SNMP Ethernet Module (part number
MT140C). This card provides a 10BASE-T Ethernet interface to the LAN.
1.5 TELNET
TELNET provides a password-protected remote login facility for the CSU/DSU MS
DBU. TELNET allows a user on a network manager to control the CSU/DSU MS
DBU through the terminal menus. See Chapter 4 and Appendix C for more
information.
1.6 Dial-Backup Operation
The CSU/DSU MS DBU’s unique DBU cards are field-installable. See Chapter 2
for information on installing DBU cards. The three backup options are described
in the following sections. Contact the local telco provider to determine which
services are available in your area. See Chapter 4 for more information, including
an example of a dial-backup application.

This dial-up 4-wire SW56 card allows customers to pay for data connection only for
the time the unit is active. The regional operating companies provide the 4-wire
local loop service to SW56 customers. This card supports DTE rates of 2.4, 4.8, 9.6,
19.2, 38.4 (asynchronous or synchronous), and 56 kbps (synchronous). An
additional DTE rate of 57.6 kbps is available in async modes.
