1. Introduction

Asynchronous (async) terminal interface support.

TTelnet access for remote async terminal operations.

Network management provided through industry-standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) Interface

The DTE Drop/Insert interface allows DTEs/PBXs that support the DS1 signal format to share the T1 network with other high-speed equipment. This is available on 2-port and 4-port DSU/CSUs.

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 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 standalone DSU/CSUs 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.

Async Terminal Interface Support

The 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.
