User Interface Configuration Options

Com Rate: 9.6

Next 1.2 2.4 4.8 9.6 14.4 19.2 Prev

Communication Port Rate. Configures the bit rate used for the COM port. Changes take effect when they are saved to the Active configuration.

1.2± Sets the bit rate to 1200 bps (for asynchronous operation only).

2.4± Sets the bit rate to 2400 bps.

4.8± Sets the bit rate to 4800 bps.

9.6± Sets the bit rate to 9600 bps.

14.4± Sets the bit rate to 14,400 bps.

19.2± Sets the bit rate to 19,200 bps.

CAUTION: Saving changes to the configuration while communicating with the PC can result in a loss of communication.

NOTE: This configuration option is not displayed for Model 3161 DSU/CSUs unless the DSU/CSU has been selected as the Master Communication Unit for the carrier by the MasterCom configuration option. This configuration option is not available and is not displayed if the COM port is configured for synchronous operation and the clock source is external.

Char Length: 8

Next 7 8 Prev

Communication Port Character Length. Configures the character length for the COM port. Select 7 or 8 (factory default) bits.

NOTE: This configuration option is not displayed for Model 3161 DSU/CSUs unless the DSU/CSU has been selected as the Master Communication Unit for the carrier by the MasterCom configuration option.

NOTE: This configuration option must be set to 8 to perform PC emulation or pass-through operations, or SNMP management, or for the async terminal interface. This configuration option is not available and is not displayed if the COM port is configured for synchronous operation.

CParity: None

Next None Even Odd Prev

Communication Port Parity. Configures the parity for the COM port. None is the factory default.

NOTE: This configuration option is not displayed for Model 3161 DSU/CSUs unless the DSU/CSU has been selected as the Master Communication Unit for the carrier by the MasterCom configuration option.

CStop Bits: 1

Next 1 1.5 2 Prev

Communication Port Stop Bits. Configures the number of stop bits for the COM port; 1 is the factory default.

NOTE: This configuration option is not displayed for Model 3161 DSU/CSUs unless the DSU/CSU has been selected as the Master Communication Unit for the carrier by the MasterCom configuration option.

Modem Use: ASCII

Next SNMP ASCII Term Prev

Modem Port Use. Specifies how the modem is used.

SNMP ± Configures the modem as the management link to an external SNMP manager.

ASCII ± Configures the modem as a proprietary ASCII port. This selection supports dial-out ASCII alarm messages, dial-out front panel pass-through, and/or dial-in access from a remote PC or DSU/CSU.

Term ± Specifies that the modem port will be used as an async terminal interface. This selection supports configuration and device management from a terminal.

NOTE: Only one port (communication or modem) can be configured as the SNMP management link at a time. If the Com Use configuration option is set to SNMP, only ASCII or Term is available for this configuration option.
