Operation

Initiating an Asynchronous Terminal Session

You can configure and manage the DSU/CSU from an asynchronous terminal that is configured for 9.6 kbps, 8 characters, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

You can connect the asynchronous terminal directly to the COM port of the DSU/CSU, or you can establish a remote connection using dial-in or Telnet access.

Once the appropriate access is established, the Main Menu screen (Figure 3-2) appears (unless a password is required).

If a password is required, the Login screen displays the prompt for password input. (Refer to Entering a Password to Gain Access on page 3-10.)

To move between the Screen area and the Screen Function Keys area (Figure 3-2), press Ctrl-a (Control key and a).

From the Screen area, you may select the Status, Test, Configuration, or

Control branches.

Ending an Asynchronous Terminal Session

To end the asynchronous terminal session from any screen, press Ctrl-a to move from the Screen area to the Screen Function Keys area (Figure 3-2), and then select Exit.
