Overview

After the DSU has been installed and any necessary hardware switches or jumpers have been set, the software configuration options must be set. Configuration options are set via the DCP by accessing the Configuration (Confg) branch of the menu (refer to the menu in Appendix A).

There are eight configuration option areas within the DSU:

•The Active area (Activ) contains the DualFlow DSU configuration options currently being used.

•The Remote area (Remt) allows a selected DualFlow DSU's or DBM's configuration options to be retrieved so they can be displayed, edited, and/or saved back to the selected DSU or DBM, another DSU or DBM, or the local DSU or DBM. The remote configuration option sets that can be retrieved are Activ, Usr1, Usr2, and Usr3.

•The User 1 area (Usr1) is a customer-defined set of stored configuration options. By having these predetermined option sets stored, they can be loaded rapidly as operating requirements change.

•The User 2 area (Usr2) is functionally the same as Usr1, providing further flexibility when creating configurations for various applications.

•The User 3 area (Usr3) is another customer-defined option set.

NOTE

The next three option sets, SyBC, SyBT, and DiDg, are read-only storage areas; changes cannot be saved to these option sets.

•The factory-loaded configuration for the Synchronous Backup application for a control DSU is stored in the SyBC area.

•The factory-loaded configuration for the Synchronous Backup application for a tributary DSU is stored in the SyBT area.

•The factory-loaded configuration for the Dial Diagnostic application is stored in the DiDg area.

NOTE

A DualFlow DSU cannot configure a non-DualFlow DSU remotely.
