2. Installation

Installation Steps

Installation of the DSU/CSU consists of the following steps.

Procedure

1.Attach the power cord to the rear of the DSU/CSU and the other end to a grounded 115 Vac power outlet. If you are using a DC power source, see Optional Power Sources (Model 3164 Only) on page 2-6.

2.Attach the DSU/CSU network connection to the T1 network using the appropriate cable.

3.Attach the DSU/CSU to the customer premises equipment via the DTE (DSX-1) and/or port connectors.

4.Power on the DSU/CSU to perform the power-on self-test.

5.If you intend to use front panel emulation, connect the cable from the PC to the COM port on the rear panel of the DSU/CSU.

6.If you intend to manage the DSU/CSU with SNMP, cable the 10BaseT port, COM port, or MODEM port (as appropriate for your configuration). Then, configure the SNMP management link.

7.If you do not intend to use the DTE Drop/Insert T1 port, disable it using the configuration procedures in Chapter 4, Configuration, and Appendix C, Configuration Options. (The default setting for this port is Enabled.)

8.The Factory 1 configuration for ESF framing format and B8ZS line coding format is the default configuration and is appropriate for most networks. If this configuration does not work for you, try the Factory 2 configuration for D4 framing format and AMI line coding format. To further customize configuration options, refer to Changing Configuration Options in Chapter 4, Configuration, and to Appendix C, Configuration Options.

9.During the power-on self-test, the FAIL LED flashes, then all LEDs blink twice. When the test is complete, verify that the DSU/CSU is functional by observing that the OK, NETWORK SIG, and DTE SIG LEDs are lit.

10.Configure the ports and channels you intend to use and assign channels to the network interface.
