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 3-32.)
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.
