Operation

Using the Integral Modem in Standalone DSU/CSUs

The standalone DSU/CSU's integral modem enables your DSU/CSU to communicate with remote devices to display alarm messages or to function as the user interface. The carrier-mounted DSU/CSU does not have an integral modem.

The Call command, available from the Control branch of the menu tree, provides the following functions to initiate and terminate modem connections:

•Pass ± Initiates a call through the integral modem to access a far-end DSU/CSU's front panel from your DSU/CSU's front panel (or PC attached to the COM port).

•Dial ± Initiates a call through the integral modem to a printer, ASCII terminal, or PC. Sets up a semipermanent connection to route alarm messages to the specified destination.

•Disconnect ± Disconnects an active modem connection.

•Change Directory ± Allows entry of phone numbers into the internal phone directories.

For additional information, refer to the User Interface Configuration Options section in Appendix C.

Entering Numbers in the Phone Directories

The DSU/CSU has five general directories

(1 through 5) and one alarm directory (A). Use the general directories to store phone numbers for remote devices such as standalone DSU/CSUs and ASCII printers. Use the alarm directory to store the phone number of the primary ASCII terminal or printer you use to display or print alarms. This function is not available for carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs because the integral modem is not available for carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs.

2.Select Ctrl.

3.From the Control screen, select Call.
