Antistream - SW 3

The Antistream option is used to select the antistream time out. The antistream time out is the maximum time the DSU 56/64 is allowed to transmit data from the DTE into the network. This feature prevents one DTE device on a multi-drop network from continuously tying up the transmit circuit from a remote DSU back to the master DSU.

The antistream timer is reset to zero when RS transitions to the active state and is updated every second while RS is active. When the antistream time out expires, the DSU 56/64 stops transmitting DTE data into the network. It does, however, continue to accept data. CS is maintained in the active state until the DTE deactivates the RS input.

Down - Off

The Antistream timer is disabled.

Up - On

The Antistream timer is enabled and set for 45 +/- 0.5 seconds.

Carrier Detect (CD) - SE 4

Down - Normal

CD is on any time customer data is being received and off when the receive circuit is idle, not carrying customer data.

Up - On

CD is forced on all the time.

Data Set Ready (SR) - SW 5

Down - On

SR is forced on all the time.

Up - Normal

SR is only turned off when the network is out of service or a test is in progress.
