General Configuration Options

Table C-6. General Configuration Options (1 of 2)Generate Yellow Alarm Signals: Enable

Enable Disable

Determines whether the DSU/CSU generates Yellow Alarm signals on the network and

DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interfaces.

NOTE: This configuration option is not available if the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) Interface is disabled. If the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface is disabled, the DSU/CSU always generates the Yellow Alarm signal on the network interface.

Enable – Generates the Yellow Alarm signal for both the network and DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interfaces.

Disable – Disables the Yellow Alarm signal. When this configuration option is disabled, Yellow Alarm conditions on the network interface cause an AIS signal to be transmitted on the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface.

NOTE: When this configuration option is disabled, the DTE equipment connected to the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface is responsible for generation of the Yellow Alarm signal on the network interface. In this case, the interface port marked DTE must only be connected to an FCC Part 68 Registered (for USA) and Canadian DOC Certified (for Canada) Digital Service Unit or System, such as PBX, with a DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface. Failure to do so is a violation of FCC Rules or DOC Regulations.

Self Test: Enable

Enable Disable

Specifies whether the DSU/CSU performs a device self-test at power-up and after a device reset.

Enable – Enables a self-test.

Disable – Disables the self-test.

Test Timeout: Enable

Enable Disable

Specifies whether user-initiated loopback and pattern tests have durations that are specified by the Test Duration configuration option.

Enable – Loopback and pattern tests initiated on the DSU/CSU have specified durations.

Disable – Disables test timeout. The tests are terminated manually.

NOTE: For DSU/CSUs that are remotely managed through an inband data stream such as EDL or FDL, the recommended setting is Enable. If tests are inadvertently left in the active state, the Enable setting will allow the test to timeout (terminate) after a specified time.

Test Duration: 10 1 to 120 minutes

Specifies the duration (1 to 120 minutes) of user-initiated loopback and pattern tests. (The Test Timeout configuration option must be set to Enable.)
