Diagnostic (General) Configuration Options

TribTimOut: 0:10

Next Chang Prev

Tributary Time-out, specified in minutes and seconds (only displayed when any Diag Type is set to NonD or Mixed, LinkConfig is set to M-Pt, and Full Mode is enabled). This configuration option specifies the amount of time that the control DSU or DBM waits before it generates a Tributary Time-out alarm when a tributary does not return a health and status message when RTS is raised (only applies to a MPTC configuration).

Chang	Ð	Determine the amount of time it takes for the control DSU to complete its polling cycle, then multiply that
		time by the response period entered above (Resp Period). The range that can be entered is from 5
		seconds up to 10 minutes.
Link Delay: 0s
Next	0s	1s	2s	5s	10s	20s	50s	Prev

Link Delay, specified in seconds (only displayed when any Diag Type is set to NonD, LinkConfig is set to Pt-Pt, and Full Mode is enabled). Used only in point-to-point configurations, this configuration option controls the amount of additional time that a DSU or DBM will wait for a response from a device downstream (only applies to a PTPC configuration).

NOTE: If diagnostic time-outs are occurring during polling, increase the link delay to the next higher setting.

0s to 50s Ð Set the number of seconds the DSU or DBM will wait for a response from the downstream device. The range that can be entered is from 0 seconds up to 50 seconds.

Packet Delay: 0s

Next 0s 1s 2s 5s Prev

Packet Delay, specified in seconds (only displayed when Position is set to Cntrl and Full Mode is enabled). Used only for a control DSU or DBM, this configuration option controls the amount of time that a DSU or DBM will wait for a packet to complete from an NMS.

NOTE: Must be used when the DSU's diagnostic channel operates over packet switch, satellite communications, or other facilities that provide extended throughput delays.

0s to 5s	Ð Set the amount of time the DSU or DBM will wait for the NMS. The range that can be entered is from
	0 seconds up to 5 seconds.

M-PtSymPrt:Enab

Next Enab Disab Prev

Multipoint Symmetrical Port (only displayed when LinkConfig is set to M-Pt and Full Mode is enabled). Used only in a multipoint configuration, This configuration option enables rate adaption in the tributary DSU to control direction on a multipoint circuit. An example of multipoint rate adaption would be when the port speed is less than the line speed (only applies to MPTC and MPTT configurations).

Use this configuration option when using multipoint rate adaption, or when the transmit data rate must match the received data rate, or the tributary DSU is configured as a digital-sharing device (DSD).

Enab	Ð	Select when multipoint rate adaption is enabled, and when a multipoint network is configured for
		nondisruptive diagnostics (Diag Type is set to NonD) and a symmetrical port speed is required for proper
		DTE operation.
Disab	Ð	When disabled, the receive port rate on the control will be the DDS rate, and the transmitter will be the
		port rate, minus the diagnostics.
