CSU/DSU MS DBU
5. Configuration Overview
The CSU/DSU MS DBU contains four different user profiles (sets of configuration
options) stored in read-only memory; see Appendix D. The unit is shipped from
the factory with profile number 1 (default configuration) loaded into the current
(nonvolatile configuration) memory. If profile 1 matches requirements for the
system, then no additional configuration is required to put the unit into service.
If profile 1 does not match system requirements, it can be modified or one of the
other profiles that more closely matches the system requirements can be loaded
into current memory. When a different profile is loaded or the existing profile
is modified, it is stored in the current (nonvolatile configuration) memory.
The CSU/DSU MS DBU is then configured with that profile every time
power is turned on or the unit is reset.
Configuration Methods
The CSU/DSU MS DBU responds to the following methods of configuration:
• AT commands
• V.25 commands
• Front-panel commands
• A VT100 compatible terminal
• SNMP/TELNET through a device running SLIP/PPP protocol
• SNMP/TELNET through a LAN running Ethernet protocol (available when
the SNMP Ethernet Module is installed)
AT and V.25 commands have limited access to configuration parameters. The
commands are detailed in the following sections of this chapter. See Chapters 2
and 3 for more information on all other configuration methods. For an example
application using the SLIP/PPP or Ethernet interface, see Chapter 4.
Descriptions of each Configuration menu item are given in Chapters 6 through 10.
A complete Configuration menu for the front panel is shown in Figure 5-1. The
VT100 menu tree is shown in Appendix C.
