User Interface Configuration Options

Self-Test: Enab

Next Enab Disab Prev

Initial Self-Test. Specifies whether the E1 DSU/CSU performs a device self-test at power-up and after a device reset.

Enab ± Enables a self-test.

Disab ± Disables the self-test.

Com Use: ASCII

Next SNMP ASCII Daisy Prev

Communication Port Use. Specifies how the communication port is used. The communication port can be configured for only one use (each use is mutually exclusive): it can be configured as the management link to an external SNMP manager, it can be configured as a proprietary ASCII port, or it can be configured as an SNMP management link daisy chained to another 31xx Series device.

SNMP ± Specifies that the communication port is used as the management link to an external SNMP manager.

ASCII ± Specifies that the communication port is used as a proprietary ASCII port supporting Front Panel Emulation software and ASCII alarm messages.

Daisy ± Specifies that the communication port is used as an SNMP management port that is daisy chained to the auxiliary port of an another 31xx Series device.

NOTE: SNMP and ASCII selections can be made using the ifAdminStatus MIB object (up = SNMP, testing = ASCII).

NOTE: The Daisy selection requires the use of a customer-supplied, 8-pin-to-8-pin, straight-through cable. Whenever the cable is connected or disconnected, you should change the Daisy selection (as appropriate) to ensure that the correct parameters have been negotiated for the link layer.

Com Type: Async

Next Async Sync Prev

Communication Port Type. Specifies whether the communication port uses synchronous or asynchronous operation when it is configured as the SNMP management link.

Async ± Configures the communication port for asynchronous operation.

Sync ± Configures the communication port for synchronous operation.

NOTE: This configuration option is not available if the Com Use configuration option is set to ASCII or Daisy. In these cases, the communication port is always asynchronous.

Com Clk: Int

Next Int Ext Prev

Communication Port Synchronous Clock. Specifies whether the communication port uses internal or external clocking when it is configured for synchronous operation.

Int ± Configures the communication port for internal clocking.

Ext ± Configures the communication port for external clocking.

NOTE: This configuration option is not available if the Com Type configuration option is set to Async.
