COMSPHERE 3550 Series Data Service Units

Continued from Page A-1.

Press a function key to select one of the following branches:

•Local branch

•Remote branch ± Only available to a DSU configured as a control or a point-to-point tributary.

•Messages branch ± Only appears when a message from the NMS is waiting. Once the message is cleared, this branch no longer appears.

Local/Remote Menu Subbranches

The Local branch menu has five subbranches; the Remote branch menu has four:

•The Status (Stat) branch provides reports on the health and status of the DSU and DBM, the DTE interface, the identity of the DSU and DBM, the status of the connected DTE's EIA-232 and V.35 interfaces, and if there is a dialed connection, the quality of the dial network circuit. If a TDM/Flex is installed, its status is integrated into the DSU's status.

•The Backup (Bckup) branch controls the operation of the dial backup feature. This branch is available if a DBM or an external dial backup unit (DBU) is installed. Only available from the Local branch.

•The Test branch provides extensive testing capabilities for the DSU; the DDS circuit; the DBM, if installed; and the backup circuit, if there is a backup call established. If a TDM/Flex is installed, testing is available on a per port basis.

NOTE

If the Test branch does not appear, the DSU is in Display mode (values can be read, but not changed).

Only authorized persons can change configuration option values for the DSU. Contact your System Administrator for further information.

•The Configuration (Confg) branch provides the ability to customize DSU software configuration options, to enter and change telephone numbers (if a DBM is installed), to change the DSU network address, and to specify the menu mode for displaying configuration options of the unit.

•The Control (Ctrl) branch provides the ability to display and change external leads and enable or disable the DSU or a DBM or TDM/Flex, when installed. When a TDM/Flex is installed, the circuit designation status indicators (TXD, RXD, etc.) reflect the status of a selected port.

Each selection leads to a functional subbranch of the menu.

Only three menu selections appear at a time, one over

each function (F1, F2, F3) key. Press the and keys to scroll backward or forward through menu selections.

•Press the key to go to the previous screen/menu display.
