User Interface Configuration Options
ComConnPrefix:
Next Edit Clear Prev
Carrier Communication Port Connect Prefix. Specifies the connect prefix to the dial directory phone number. When you
make a connection or the DSU/CSU automatically makes a connection (dial-out alarms or traps) through the
communication port, the connect prefix and the dial directory phone number are used to establish the connection. The
connect prefix is an ASCII text string and may be up to 20 characters in length. If the connect prefix is NULL, then no
connect prefix is used.
Edit – Allows you to edit and/or display the connect prefix using the generic text string entry screen.
Clear – Allows you to clear the connect prefix. The connect prefix is set to a null string.
NOTE: This configuration option is available on carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs only. Y
NOTE: This configuration option is not available if the ComExtDev configuration option is set to AT or the
communication port is disabled.
NOTE: If ComExtDev is configured for Other and the external device requires characters after the dial phone number,
you must append the characters to the phone number.
ComConnected:
Next Edit Clear Prev
Carrier Communication Port Connect Indication String. Specifies the communication port’s connect indication string.
When you make a connection or the DSU/CSU automatically makes a connection (dial-out alarms or traps) through the
communication port, this string determines that the connection has been established. The connect indication string is an
ASCII text string and may be up to 20 characters in length. If the connect indication string is not received within 1 minute,
it will time-out the connection. If the connect indication string is NULL, the communication port’s receive data stream is
not searched and a transition in the Carrier Detect (CD) lead is used to determine that a connection has been
established.
Edit – Allows you to edit and/or display the case-sensitive connect indication string using the generic text string entry
screen.
Clear – Allows you to clear the connect indication string. The connect indication string is set to a null string.
NOTE: This configuration option is available on carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs only. Y
NOTE: This configuration option is not available if the ComExtDev configuration option is set to AT or the communication
port is disabled.
ComEscapeSeq:
Next Edit Clear Prev
Carrier Communication Port Escape Sequence. Specifies the communication port’s escape sequence. Once the external
device connection has been established, either you or the DSU/CSU can command the external device to disconnect.
Before doing so, you may need to send the escape sequence out to switch the external device into command mode. The
escape sequence is an ASCII text string and may be up to 20 characters in length. If the escape sequence is NULL, no
escape sequence is sent out.
Edit – Allows you to edit and/or display the escape sequence using the generic text string entry screen.
Clear – Allows you to clear the escape sequence. The escape sequence is set to a null string.
NOTE: This configuration option is available on carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs only. Y
NOTE: This configuration option is not available if the ComExtDev configuration option is set to AT or the communication
port is disabled.
