The Speed field should contain one of the following communications speeds: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, or 19200 and should match the DSU/CSU COM port configuration.

5.Choose either a Local (for near-end DSU/CSU) or Remote (for far-end DSU/CSU) destination.

6.If you chose a Local destination, click on the Execute button. If you chose a Remote destination, enter the telephone number of the far-end DSU/CSU in the Phone Number field, then click on the Dial button.

Using the Async Terminal Feature

You can use an async terminal to manage the 3160/3164 DSU/CSU devices from either the COM port or MODEM port. You can perform device management and configuration operations as if using the device's front panel without the limitation of the 2-line, 16-character LCD. An entire menu, submenu, test result, or all configuration selections for a configuration option appear on a single screen display.

This section is provided as a supplement to all the procedures described throughout this manual for using the front panel. Therefore, all the procedures, tables and descriptions of fields and input values provided in all chapters and appendices apply to the information displayed on the async terminal screens. There are differences in menu selections made from the front panel/PC interface and the async terminal interface when performing a task. Refer to the Differences Using the Async Terminal Interface heading within each procedure description to note the differences between interfaces. This section is limited to describing how the async terminal feature is configured, how it is accessed and how to navigate among the menus and screens.

Setting Interface Options

Certain user interface options must be set to enable async terminal operation. Using the front panel, use the Configuration (Cnfig) branch of the front panel menu hierarchy to edit the User Interface (User) options for async terminal operation. Table 3-13 shows the configuration options and appropriate settings for the Async Terminal feature. Basically, the change depends on the port supplying the connection. The other configuration options use their defaults but they should be verified.
