The CSU/DSU MS DBU has an 8-position modular jack labeled CONTROL.
The control port provides connection to a VT100 EIA-232 compatible interface,
a device running SLIP protocol, or a device running Async PPP protocol. An 8-foot
adapter connector and cable provide a standard DB25 EIA-232 interface. See
Appendix A for the control port’s pin assignments. A description of the operation
of this port is in Chapter 3.
The control port also functions as the SLIP or async PPP port when configured
for SNMP management. The pinouts are identical when operating in an SNMP
management mode.
