Front Panel Emulation

Overview

The DSU/CSU offers functionality through Front Panel Emulation software that is similar to that provided by the DSU/CSU front panel. The DSU/CSU can either be locally or remotely attached to a 386 or higher PC that has at least 4 MB of RAM. A copy of the DSU/CSU front panel appears on the PC. The functionality of the front panel is available by clicking on the Function keys with the mouse rather than by pressing keys from the actual front panel.

For carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs, a single PC is used to access all of the slots in the carrier. The PC is connected locally to a single slot containing either a

3151 CSU or 3161 DSU/CSU that has been configured to enable a shared COM port on the Auxiliary Backplane. The attached PC can access any

3151/3161 device attached to the Auxiliary Backplane. For more information about using the COM port on the carrier, refer to the ACCULINK 3151 CSU and 3161 DSU/CSU General Information Guide.
