3. Operation

Selecting the Port

The SNMP manager, Telnet device, or network device (e.g., a router) can be directly connected to the communications (COM) port. An external LAN Adapter can be connected to either the COM port or the auxiliary (AUX) port to provide Ethernet or Token Ring connectivity. Also, the DSU/CSU can be daisy chained together by connecting the COM port of one device to the AUX port of the other, providing SNMP or Telnet connectivity. Use the MODEM port when accessing the DSU/CSU through a dial-up connection.

The COM port can support either synchronous or asynchronous PPP, or asynchronous SLIP at data rates of up to 38,400 bps. The AUX port can support data rates up to 38,400 bps. The MODEM port can support either synchronous or asynchronous PPP, or asynchronous SLIP at data rates of up to 2400 bps.

The example shown below assumes that the COM port is being used as the link to the SNMP or Telnet system.

Procedure

To select the COM port as the SNMP or Telnet link:

1.From the top-level menu screen, select Cnfig.
