ACCULINK 3163 DSU/CSU
1-2 March 1999 3163-A2-GB20-10
Alarm Message Capability
The DSU/CSU can be attached, either locally or
remotely, to an ASCII terminal or printer to display or
print alarm messages. Alarms can also be displayed on a
PC that is using a terminal emulation package.
Front Panel Emulation
The 3163 DSU/CSU offers functionality through Front
Panel Emulation software that is similar to that provided
by the DSU/CSU front panel. The functionality of the
front panel is available by clicking on the function keys
with the mouse rather than by pressing keys from the
actual front panel.
Integral Modem
The 3163 DSU/CSU contain an integral low-speed
(2400 bps), V.22bis dial modem that enables
communication with remote devices such as another 316x
DSU/CSU, an ASCII terminal or printer, or a PC running
the 3100 Series Front Panel Emulation software.
Asynchronous Terminal Interface Support
The 3163 DSU/CSU can be configured and managed
from an asynchronous (async) terminal. The async
terminal’s full screen display uses a menu hierarchy
similar to the DSU/CSU’s front panel. You can perform
device management and configuration operations as if you
are using the DSU/CSU’s front panel, but you do not have
the limitation of the 2-line, 16-character LCD.
Telnet Access
Remote async terminal operations can be performed
using Telnet access. Telnet is a Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) service that supports
a virtual terminal interface.
