Front Panel Emulation G
Overview
The 3166 DSU/CSU offers functionality through Front Panel Emulation software
that is similar to that provided by the SDCP or the front panel of standalone 31xx
DSU/CSUs. The 3166 DSU/CSU can either be locally or remotely attached to a
386 or higher PC that has at least 4 MB of RAM. A copy of the 31xx DSU/CSU
front panel appears on the PC. 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.
