Safety Instructions  
Important Safety Instructions  
1. Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or  
included in the manual.  
2. This product is intended to be used with a three-wire grounding type plug - a plug  
which has a grounding pin. This is a safety feature. Equipment grounding is vital to  
ensure safe operation. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding type plug by  
modifying the plug or using an adaptor.  
Prior to installation, use an outlet tester or a voltmeter to check the ac receptacle for  
the presence of earth ground. If the receptacle is not properly grounded, the  
installation must not continue until a qualified electrician has corrected the problem.  
If a three-wire grounding type power source is not available, consult a qualified  
electrician to determine another method of grounding the equipment.  
3. Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable  
operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings  
must not be blocked or covered.  
4. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord and do not locate the product where  
persons will walk on the power cord.  
5. Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may  
expose you to dangerous high voltage points or other risks. Refer all servicing to  
qualified service personnel.  
6. General purpose cables are provided with this product. Special cables, which may be  
required by the regulatory inspection authority for the installation site, are the  
responsibility of the customer.  
7. When installed in the final configuration, the product must comply with the applicable  
Safety Standards and regulatory requirements of the country in which it is installed. If  
necessary, consult with the appropriate regulatory agencies and inspection  
authorities to ensure compliance.  
8. A rare phenomenon can create a voltage potential between the earth grounds of two  
or more buildings. If products installed in separate buildings are interconnected, the  
voltage potential may cause a hazardous condition. Consult a qualified electrical  
consultant to determine whether or not this phenomenon exists and, if necessary,  
implement corrective action prior to interconnecting the products.

Government Requirements  
Government Requirements and Equipment Return  
Certain governments require that instructions pertaining to DSU/CSU and modem connection to  
the telephone network be included in the installation and operation manual. Specific instructions  
are listed in the following sections.  
United States  
NOTICE TO USERS OF THE UNITED STATES TELEPHONE NETWORK  
1. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the equipment is a label that  
contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence  
number (REN) for this equipment. The label is located on the bottom of the 3160/3164  
DSU/CSU, and on the 3161 DSU/CSU circuit card. If requested, this information must be  
provided to the telephone company.  
2. There are two types of telephone lines associated with the standalone equipment. The T1  
network connection should be made using a Universal Service Order Code (USOC) type  
RJ48C jack. The Service Order Code 6.0F should be specified to the telephone company  
when ordering the T1 line. In addition, the proper Facility Interface Code must be specified  
to the Telephone Company. The DSU/CSU can be configured to support any of the  
following framing format and line signaling techniques. The DSU/CSU configuration must  
correspond to the T1 line’s parameters. The 3160/3164 DSU/CSU internal modem  
connects to the Public Switched Telephone Network using a USOC Type RJ11C jack. The  
Facility Interface Code 02LS2 along with the RJ11C jack should be specified to the  
telephone company when ordering a dial line for the modem. The 3161 DSU/CSU  
connects to the T1 network using the multi-line USOC-type RJ48H jack and does not have  
a PSTN interface.

3. The ringer equivalence number (REN) is used to determine the quantity of devices which  
may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result  
in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the  
sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that  
may be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone  
company to determine the maximum RENs for the calling area.  
4. If the 316x DSU/CSU causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will  
notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if  
advance notice is not practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as  
possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you  
believe it is necessary

The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This  
certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective,  
operational and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will  
operate to the user’s satisfaction.  
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the  
facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an  
acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a  
single line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly  
(telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above  
conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.  
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility  
designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or  
equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request to disconnect  
the equipment.

The 316x DSU/CSU optimizes network performance  
with a wide range of benefits such as the following:  
Overview  
The ACCULINKr 316x Series ESF T1 Data Service  
Unit (DSU)/Channel Service Unit (CSU) acts as an  
interface between the T1 digital network and the  
Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), converting signals  
received from the DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) to  
bipolar signals that can be transmitted over T1 and  
Fractional T1 lines. Typical applications include Local  
Area Network (LAN)/Wide Area Network (WAN)  
interconnection, channel extension, and video  
teleconferencing.  
Software configuration menu displayed via an LCD  
to permit quick and easy operation and elimination  
of complicated hardware strapping.  
Flash memory software download capability to  
ensure investment protection.  
Trouble-free installation facilitated by two factory  
installed settings which anticipate the most  
common applications: either D4 or ESF framing  
standards, and B8ZS or AMI line coding standards.  
In addition to the T1 Drop/Insert port, the ACCULINK  
Model 3160 provides two DTE ports while the  
ACCULINK Model 3164 provides four DTE ports.  
Security features to ensure network integrity.  
Network management for 3160/3164 DSU/CSUs  
provided through industry-standard SNMP.  
The ACCULINK Model 3161 provides two ports in  
addition to the T1 Drop/Insert port and is designed to fit  
into the COMSPHEREr 3000 Series Carrier.  
Differences between these models are discussed where  
applicable throughout this manual.  
Multipower source acceptance.  
Local or remote configuration and operation  
flexibility.  
Several loopback capabilities, test pattern  
generators and external contact closure for DTE  
loopback support.

ACCULINK 316x DSU/CSU  
Independently selectable DTE interfaces (V.35,  
EIA-530A, V.11, and/or RS449/422).  
User Interface  
There are three ways of accessing the user interface:  
Flexible timing source, available from the  
T1 network interface, the DSX-1 T1 interface, at  
least one of the synchronous DCE data ports, an  
internal clock, or an external clock.  
Front panel – provides an LCD and a keypad  
which enable you to display information about and  
interact with the DSU/CSU. A menu tree is  
available which enables control of the DSU/CSU in  
the network (see Appendix A, Front Panel Menu).  
Flexible, user-friendly channel allocation.  
The 3160/3164 DSU/CSUs are available in a compact  
standalone case (Figure 1-1) that can be mounted on a  
desktop, shelf, or wall. The 3161 DSU/CSU is available  
as a circuit card that is installed into a COMSPHERE  
3000 Series Carrier.  
COM Port – used for 3100 Series Front Panel  
Emulation software which displays the DSU/CSU  
front panel on a PC and provides the same  
functions as the actual front panel. It is also used  
for the async terminal connection (3160/3164 only).  
For Model 3161 DSU/CSUs, only one slot in the  
carrier can be configured as the COM port; all slots  
share the PC.  
Features  
MODEM Port – provides 3160/3164 DSU/CSU  
functionality from a PC attached either remotely or  
by using pass-through via another DSU/CSU  
(3160/3164 only). It is also used for the async  
terminal connection. This port is located only on  
3160/3164 DSU/CSUs.  
The 316x DSU/CSU offers a wide variety of features:  
Integral modem for 3160/3164 DSU/CSUs only  
which enables remote operation to enhance  
serviceability and increases uptime.  
User interfaces for access to configuration and  
alarm information.  
Alarm Interface  
Front Panel Emulation via Windowst-based front  
panel emulation software.  
The 3160/3164 DSU/CSU can be attached, either  
locally or remotely, to an ASCII terminal or printer to  
display/print alarm messages. The COM and MODEM  
ports can be used as destinations for Alarm Set and Alarm  
Clear messages. This enables an ASCII terminal/printer or  
async terminal to be used to monitor the DSU/CSU for  
alarm conditions, but provides a potential conflict if the  
COM or MODEM port is also the current active physical  
interface. If this occurs, the user interface functions have  
priority over any alarm messages that are sent to the  
currently active physical interface.  
Front panel pass-through to access a remote  
3160/3164 DSU/CSU.  
Async terminal interface support.  
DSX-1 Drop/Insert port.  
Front Panel Access Control feature.  
SNMP Management Support.  
Alarms can also be displayed on a PC that is using a  
terminal emulation package.  
Integral Modem  
The 3160/3164 DSU/CSUs contain an integral modem  
that enables communication with remote devices such as  
another 316x DSU/CSU, or an ASCII terminal or printer.  
This is a low-speed (2400 bps), V.22bis dial modem that  
provides remote dial-up capability to support  
Model 3160/3164 DSU/CSUs can be configured to  
generate traps on alarms which can be sent to an SNMP  
manager via either the MODEM or COM port.  
downloading, pass-through, alarm reporting, and remote  
configuration and diagnostics. The integral modem can  
also communicate with a PC running the 3100 Series  
Front Panel Emulation software accompanying the 316x  
DSU/CSU.

Introduction  
Procedures throughout this manual are described  
Front Panel Emulation  
specifically for a front panel user. Look for the subhead  
Differences Using the Async Terminal within each  
procedure section for the user interface information on the  
Async Terminal feature.  
The 3160/3164 DSU/CSU offers the same functionality  
through Front Panel Emulation software as that provided  
by the DSU/CSU front panel. The DSU/CSU can either be  
locally attached to a 286 or higher PC, or remotely  
through a local 3160/3164 DSU/CSU’s integral modem. A  
copy of the DSU/CSU front panel appears on the PC; full  
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.  
DSX-1 Drop/Insert Port  
The DSX-1 Drop/Insert port allows DTEs/PBXs that  
support the DS1 signal format to share the  
T1 network with other high-speed equipment.  
For 3161 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 as the Master  
Communication Unit. The Master Communication Unit  
provides the shared COM port on the Auxiliary  
Front Panel Access Control Feature  
Using the Front Panel Access Control feature, you can  
disable the front panel so that users cannot manipulate  
device configuration options from the front panel. This  
feature is especially useful in conjunction with the async  
terminal interface or front panel emulation on the PC.  
Backplane, so that an attached PC can access any  
3151/3161 device attached to the Auxiliary Backplane.  
The 3161 DSU/CSU is capable of activating the shared  
alarm relay on the 3000 Series Carrier, if so configured.  
The alarm relay is deactivated when the condition causing  
the alarm is corrected, or an Alarm Cut-Off (ACO)  
command is issued from the SDCP or the optional Front  
Panel Emulation software.  
SNMP Management Capabilities  
The Model 3160/3164 DSU/CSU supports the Simple  
Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Version 1, and  
therefore has the capability of being managed by any  
industry-standard SNMP manager. The company provides  
an SNMP application tailored for 3100 Series devices that  
runs on a Hewlett-Packardr HP OpenView network  
management platform. This application enhances your  
ability to manage the 3100 Series devices by presenting  
the Management Information Base (MIB) information  
relevant to these devices in an easy-to-read format. The  
functionality provided by the SNMP application is a  
subset of the functionality available through the  
DSU/CSU’s front panel. The 3100 Series SNMP  
application is used to manage and control general device  
functions, the Network T1 interface, the DSX-1 (DTE)  
interface, the Communications (COM) interface, the  
MODEM interface, and the individual DCE ports. For  
more information about SNMP management of  
3100 Series devices, refer to the ACCULINK 3100 Series  
Open Management Application for HP OpenView Users  
Guide.  
Front Panel Pass-Through  
Pass-through (passthrough) mode enables the user at  
the local DSU/CSU to access the front panel of a remote  
316x DSU/CSU using the integral modem. In addition,  
front panel pass-through can be used from a PC connected  
to the COM port of the local  
Model 3160/3164 DSU/CSU. By using Pass-through  
mode, the user can operate the remote 316x DSU/CSU  
through the front panel of the local DSU/CSU or via the  
PC using the Front Panel Emulation software.  
Async Terminal Interface Support  
A Model 3160/3164 DSU/CSU can be configured and  
managed from an async (asynchronous) terminal. When  
the Async Terminal feature is enabled, the DSU/CSU is  
managed from the async terminal’s full screen display  
using a menu hierarchy similar to, and the same option  
selections available from, the DSU/CSU front panel. The  
async terminal can be connected locally via the COM port  
for direct access or connected via the modem port for  
dial-in access.

ACCULINK 316x DSU/CSU  
SNMP is an industry-standard network management  
system that is used to monitor network performance and  
status, and to report alarms (i.e., traps). To function,  
SNMP requires a manager consisting of a software  
program housed within a workstation; an agent consisting  
of a software program housed within a device (e.g.,  
3160/3164 DSU/CSU); and a MIB consisting of a  
database of managed objects, accessible to agents and  
controlled via SNMP, to provide network management  
information.  
ACCULINK 316x DSU/CSU  
Physical Description  
The ACCULINK 316x DSU/CSU series of products  
consists of a standalone 2-port Model 3160 DSU/CSU, a  
standalone 4-port Model 3164 DSU/CSU and a 2-port  
carrier-mounted Model 3161 DSU/CSU.  
Standalone Model 3160/3164 DSU/CSUs  
The 3160/3164 DSU/CSU supports a MIB that can be  
accessed using SNMP protocol by external SNMP  
managers. The following MIBs are supported:  
The 3160/3164 DSU/CSUs are housed in a compact,  
standalone unit containing a front panel for control and  
monitoring of the DSU/CSU and a rear panel for  
connections. This standalone unit can be mounted on a  
wall, an equipment shelf, or an RS-310-C equipment  
cabinet with the optional wall-mount kit.  
MIB II – Defines the general objects for use with a  
network management protocol in TCP/IP internets  
and provides general information about the  
DSU/CSU. MIB II is backward-compatible with  
MIB I.  
3160/3164 DSU/CSU Front Panel  
DS1/E1 MIB – Defines objects for managing DS1  
interfaces and supports the network and DTE  
drop/insert T1 interfaces.  
The 3160/3164 DSU/CSU front panel contains,  
One 2-line, 16-alphanumeric character per line  
liquid crystal display (LCD)  
RS-232-like MIB – Defines objects for managing  
RS-232 type interfaces (e.g., RS-422, RS-423, etc.)  
and supports synchronous data ports and  
management communication ports on the  
DSU/CSU.  
One 7-button keypad (three Function and four  
directional keys)  
Twelve light-emitting diodes (LEDs), five of which  
are shared between the DSX-1 (DTE) Drop/Insert  
T1 interface and the data ports.  
Generic-Interface MIB Extensions – An extension  
to MIB II that defines additional objects for control  
of generic interfaces in MIB II. It supports control  
of tests on the DSU/CSU’s T1 and synchronous  
data interfaces that are not supported by other  
MIBs.  
Six test jacks  
The front panel is shown in Figure 1-1.  
Two link layer protocols are supported for connection  
to an external SNMP manager or network device,  
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and Serial Line Internet  
Protocol (SLIP). The protocol type is configurable using  
the configuration options (see Appendix C, Configuration  
Options).  
3160/3164 DSU/CSU Rear Panel  
The 3160/3164 DSU/CSU rear panel contains the  
connectors required for the operation of the DSU/CSU  
(Figures 1-3 and 1-4). The connectors and their functions  
are listed in Table 1-1.  
Communication with the external SNMP management  
system can be through a serial connection on either the  
COM port or the MODEM port. Only one port can be  
configured as the management link at one time. However,  
the 3160/3164 DSU/CSU can be accessed simultaneously  
by either the front panel or front panel emulation software  
on one port, and an SNMP management system on the  
other port. Users on the external SNMP manager can issue  
“Get” and “Set” SNMP commands to an object in the  
SNMP database maintained by the DSU/CSU. The  
DSU/CSU can be configured to issue SNMP traps to the  
SNMP manager under various alarm conditions.

appears for one second, the Fail LED is turned Off  
and the OK LED lights.  
After you connect the 3160/3164 DSU/CSU to a power  
outlet, the power-up self-test is performed to ensure that  
the unit is in good working order. The DSU/CSU  
performs this test on itself upon power-up or after a device  
reset unless it has been disabled by the Self-Test  
configuration option (see Appendix C, Configuration  
Options).

The 3161 DSU/CSU performs the same power-up  
self-test except that progress is not reported on the SDCP  
during the test. However, you can use the Self-Test Health  
command to display the status of the test (see Self-Test  
Health section in Chapter 3, Operation).  
The self-test includes a basic CPU test, a limited RAM  
test, a code checksum test, and basic verification tests of  
its internal components. The front panel LCD displays the  
progress and pass/fail status of these power-up tests.  
If the self-test fails, the Failed screen appears for  
five seconds. The Fail LED lights. The DSU/CSU  
continues to try to operate. If you are in doubt  
about the results of the self-test, use the Self-Test  
Health command to display the status of this test  
(see Self-Test Health section in Chapter 3,  
Operation).  
The power-up self-test consists of the following steps:  
1. Once the DSU/CSU is plugged in, the In Progress

using front panel emulation, async terminal, or the modem  
interface.  
The procedure for changing user interface access  
security levels appears on the following tear-out page.  
Level 1 (Lvl1) access security allows access to all  
functions available through the menu tree. This is the  
default setting.  
Level 2 (Lvl2) access security restricts access to only  
those functions that cannot affect the operation of the  
DSU/CSU in any way. At this level,  
None of the functions in the Test or Ctrl branches

Operation  
Operating the Front Panel  
NOTE  
The 3160 DSU/CSU front panel (Figure 3-1) consists  
of an LCD that displays messages, a keypad, 12 LEDs,  
and six test jacks. The Model 3161 CSU faceplate  
contains these same 12 LEDs and six test jacks (see  
Figure 3-2), however, the LCD and keypad are located on  
the SDCP of the 3000 Series Carrier (see Figure 3-3). A  
description of the front panel is contained in Chapter 1,  
Introduction. Instructions for operating the front panel for  
the 3160/3164 DSU/CSU are listed below. The 3161  
DSU/CSU faceplate and the carrier’s SDCP operate in the  
same manner, except where noted.  
You can display a graphical  
representation of the 316x  
DSU/CSU front panel on an  
attached PC. You can also use  
the Async Terminal feature which  
provides full screen displays for  
managing and configuring 316x  
DSU/CSUs from an attached  
async terminal. Differences in  
operation between the front panel  
and async terminal are noted  
where applicable. Front Panel  
Emulation is further described in  
the Front Panel Emulation on a  
PC section later in this chapter.  
The Async Terminal feature is  
described in the section, Using  
the Async Terminal Feature, also  
later in this chapter.

Operation  
LCD  
Context-Sensitive Menu  
The LCD displays messages and the front panel menu  
in an easy-to-read English format, including easily  
recognizable abbreviations and symbols (Figure 3-4).  
This DSU/CSU is an intelligent device that displays  
only valid options for the current configuration.  
Therefore, you are only presented with menu choices that  
are consistent with the current configuration and  
operational state of the DSU/CSU; invalid combinations  
of configuration options do not appear. For example,  
menus displayed for the Model 3160 (2 ports) and the  
Model 3164 (4 ports) differ due to the number of ports  
available. Also, if the DSX-1 Drop/Insert T1 interface  
selection is disabled, many of the menu choices do not  
appear. Be aware that although all options are shown in  
this manual, what you see on your DSU/CSU varies with  
your configuration.

Device Health and Status Messages  
The 316x DSU/CSU features status messages that  
appear on the front panel LCD. You can request device  
health and status via the Device Health and Status branch  
of the front panel menu (see the Device Health and Status  
section later in this chapter). In addition, the highest level  
status message appears on the front panel automatically if  
no front panel action has occurred at the DSU/CSU for the  
past five minutes.

Other Displays  
The LCD also lists commands, configuration options,  
and test results. In most cases, the top line shows the  
command or option name and default value, while the  
second line displays options and responses. When a  
response is required, select from the options displayed  
directly above the Function keys (F1, F2, F3); make your  
choice by pressing the corresponding Function key.  
Use the  
key to exit any part of the menu in which  
you may be operating. You immediately return to the  
top-level menu screen shown on the front panel menu (see

from the choices presented on the second line of the LCD.  
When this line presents choices, it is generally divided  
into three sections, each displayed directly above one of  
the Function keys. When your choice appears above one  
of the Function keys, press that key to select that choice.  
The Function keys are repeating.  
LEDs  
There are twelve LEDs on the 3160/3164 DSU/CSU  
front panel (Figure 3-6) as well as on the 3161 DSU/CSU  
faceplate. The five LEDs on the right are shared between  
the DSX-1 Drop/Insert port and the data ports. Refer to  
the Selecting the DSX-1 or a Port for LED Display section  
later in this chapter to choose which ports status the  
LEDs display.  
LCD  
A green LED indicates normal operation. A yellow  
LED indicates a warning (for the DSX-1 Drop/Insert port)  
or activity (for the data ports). Conditions are sampled  
every tenth of a second.

Front Panel Emulation on a PC  
The 316x DSU/CSU front panel can be mimicked on  
an attached PC. This front panel emulation capability  
allows you to access the 3160/3164 DSU/CSU (local or  
remote) through a PC connected to the COM or MODEM  
port. For 3161 DSU/CSUs, only one slot in the carrier can  
be configured as the COM port to provide access for a PC.  
This slot provides access to all of the circuit cards in the  
carrier.

Model 3161 DSU/CSU  
Use the front panel display (Figure 3-9) to control the  
DSU/CSU from a PC just as though you are operating  
from the DSU/CSU’s own front panel. The PC window is  
updated every five seconds to show the current state of the  
DSU/CSU.

Factory 1 (Fact1). This is a set of configuration  
options preset at the company. This set is  
determined by what is considered to be the most  
common configuration used in the DSU/CSU  
market. Factory 1 options are read-only.  
Configuring the DSU/CSU  
You have the option of customizing your 316x  
DSU/CSU for optimum performance in your network. To  
do so, use the DSU/CSU configuration options.  
Appendix G contains a set of blank worksheets to use  
when configuring your 316x DSU/CSU in the network.  
Factory 2 (Fact2). This is a set of configuration  
options preset at the company. This set is  
determined by what is considered to be the second  
most common configuration used in the DSU/CSU  
market. Factory 2 options are read-only.  
Configuration Option Areas  
The 316x DSU/CSU offers four sets of configuration  
options located in the following areas:  
Configuration Options  
Active (Activ). The configuration option set active  
for the DSU/CSU is stored here. Before a set of  
configuration options become active for the  
DSU/CSU, you must save the set to the Active area.  
When the DSU/CSU is shipped from the factory,  
the Active configuration option set is identical to  
both the Customer and the Factory 1 sets. This area  
can be written to and controls the current operation  
of the device.  
The configuration options are divided into seven  
functional groups. Appendix C contains a list of the  
configuration options and defaults. These groups are:  
DTE (DSX-1) Interface (see Table C-1)  
Port (see Table C-2)  
Network Interface (see Table C-3)  
Channel (see Tables C-4 and C-5)  
General (see Table C-6)  
Customer (Cust). This is the set of  
customer-defined configuration options. Customer  
set is identical to the Factory 1 set when the  
DSU/CSU is shipped from the factory. This area  
can be written to.

Selecting the Port  
Differences Using the Async Terminal: When SNMP is  
selected from the main/configuration/edit menu, the menu  
selection structure changes slightly from the front panel.  
Specifically, the Gen selection (from the front panel) is  
split into two logical groups: System Options and  
Modem and Communication Port Options. Trap (from  
the front panel) appears as Trap Options on the async  
terminal interface. (See Figures 3-14 and 3-15)  
The 3160/3164 DSU/CSU supports a communications  
link between the DSU/CSU and an external SNMP  
management system or network device (e.g., router) on  
either the COM port or the MODEM port. Use the  
MODEM port when configuring devices through a dial-up  
modem. Use the COM port for direct connections. Either  
the COM or the MODEM port can be configured as the  
communications link, but only one port at a time can be  
configured as the link. The MODEM port can support  
either synchronous or asynchronous PPP, or asynchronous  
SLIP at data rates of up to 2400 bps. The COM port can  
support either synchronous or asynchronous PPP, or  
asynchronous SLIP at data rates of up to 19,200 bps.  
In the SNMP System Options screen as shown in  
Figure 3-20, a maximum of 40 characters can be entered  
per field. If more than 40 characters are required, then  
scrolling on the line is supported. To scroll, move the  
cursor to the end of the line. To clear a field, select Clear.  
This action sets the field to a null string, A message  
appears requiring you to verify that a clear is intended.  
After executing Clear, the cursor is located at the  
beginning of the cleared field.

The IP address is the address used by the SNMP  
manager to access the device. For devices using PPP, the  
IP address can be negotiated, if the network device, e.g.,  
router or SNMP manager, supports such negotiation. The  
IP address is composed of four fields with three digits per  
field (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).

SNMP Traps  
A
trap is an unsolicited message that is sent from the  
DSU/CSU to an SNMP manager when the device detects  
certain, prespecified conditions. These traps enable the  
SNMP manager to gauge the state of the network. The  
SNMP Trap Enable configuration option must be enabled  
for trap messages to be sent over the communications  
link. You must specify the number of SNMP managers  
that are to receive traps from this device, an IP address for  
each SNMP manager specified, and the type of traps to be  
sent from this device. See Appendix C, Configuration  
Options for more information about how to set these traps.

Trap types consist of the following:  
General traps – include “warmStart” and  
“authenticationFailure”. The device sends a  
warmStart trap after it has been reset to indicate  
that it has just reinitialized itself. The device sends  
an authenticationFailure trap when it has received  
an SNMP protocol message that has not been  
properly authenticated. These traps are set by the  
Gen Trap configuration option.

Enterprise Specific traps – signify that the device  
has recognized an enterprise-specific event. See  
Table 3-7 for enterprise-specific traps. These traps  
are set by the Entp Trap configuration option.  
Link Traps – identify the condition of the

Allocating Data Ports  
NOTE  
You have the capability of assigning a specific port  
(Prt1...Prt2 for Models 3160/3161, Prt1...Prt4 for  
Model 3164) to DS0 channels on either the Network  
interface or the DSX-1 Drop/Insert T1 interface using the  
configuration options. Three methods are available to  
assign DS0 channels to the port:  
For the 3164 DSU/CSU, there is a  
hardware limitation that limits the  
combined bandwidth used by  
Port1 and Port3 to a total of  
2048 kbps, and the combined  
bandwidth used by Port2 and  
Port4 to 2048 kbps. Thus, the rate  
choices shall be limited  
Block – Allows a block of contiguous channels to be  
assigned by specifying a data port rate and a starting DS0  
channel. The number of channels assigned is determined  
by the port rate. Only those DS0 channel numbers that  
provide enough bandwidth (based on the ports data rate)  
to be used as a starting channel number are displayed on  
the screen. These channels are automatically assigned to  
the destination T1 interface when the block method is  
used and the starting channel is selected.  
appropriately due to this  
constraint. This limitation should  
only occur in configurations  
mapping a port to a port or when  
mapping ports to the DSX-1 and  
to the network.  
ACAMI – Allows a block of contiguous channels to be  
assigned by specifying a data port rate and a starting DS0  
channel. However, with ACAMI, the number of channels  
assigned is twice the number needed for the port rate. This  
is because with ACAMI, every alternate DS0 channel  
(starting with the n+1 DS0 channel), does not carry data  
from the port, but instead always transmits and receives  
all ones.  
Select the specific channels if the allocation method  
is individual channel  
These configuration options are explained in detail in  
Appendix C.

Operation  
Timing  
NOTE  
The 316x DSU/CSU provides the ability to select a  
master clock (timing) source that is used to synchronize  
all of the T1 and data port interfaces on the DSU/CSU.  
When a master clock source is selected, the DSU/CSU  
will synchronize to the master clock and derive clocking  
for all of the interfaces on the DSU/CSU. The clock for  
each interface will be at the appropriate rate for that  
interface (e.g., 1.544 Mbps for the T1 interfaces, the  
configured port rate for the data ports) and independent of  
the master clock rate. This means that the master clock  
rate and the DSU/CSU interface rates may be different.  
The DSU/CSU will automatically fall back to the internal  
master clock when a failure of the selected master clock is  
detected.  
For Model 3161 DSU/CSUs, the  
external clock provides timing for  
up to eight slots in the carrier.  
Each Auxiliary Backplane must  
have its own external clock input.  
The DSU/CSU clock source configuration option  
enables you to select one of five sources for the master  
clock, either the Network T1 interface, the DSX-1  
Drop/Insert T1 interface, Port 1, internal clock, or external  
clock. If external clocking is selected, you must use the  
clock rate configuration option to specify the clock rate.  
Two examples for configuring timing are given below. For  
more information on the configuration options, refer to  
Appendix C. Figure 3-32 shows some common clocking  
configurations.

Selecting the Shared  
Communication Port  
function key. Use the scroll keys, if necessary  
.
Communication between the Model 3161 DSU/CSUs  
in the 3000 Series Carrier and an external PC (attached  
either locally or through an external modem) occurs  
through a shared communication (COM) port (refer to the  
COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier Installation Manual  
for cabling information). Unlike standalone Models  
3160/3164 DSU/CSUs, the Model 3161 DSU/CSUs do  
not have a dedicated COM port for external access.  
Therefore, one circuit card in the carrier must be selected  
as the Master Communication Unit, which provides the  
COM port for all circuit cards in the carrier. Once  
configured as such, the Master Communication Unit  
differs from circuit cards in the carrier because it now has  
COM port configuration options that can be selected.  
These options are used to configure Port 2 on the  
Auxiliary Backplane as the COM port for the carrier.

Device Health and Status  
Use the Device Health and Status branch to view  
current health and status information of the DSU/CSU.  
When you access this branch, one or more status messages  
display in priority order (highest to lowest) on Line 2 of  
the LCD. On the front panel, use the scroll keys to view  
any additional messages. Table 3-9 lists these messages in  
priority order.  
The DSU/CSU is polled for current status every ten  
seconds. If the status has changed from the last poll, the  
Health and Status screen is updated and the highest  
priority message is redisplayed. The message DSU/CSU  
Operational appears when there are no other messages.  
Differences Using the Async Terminal: The menu  
structure for the Status branch changes slightly from the

Operation  
Registers shown on the front panel LCD are listed in  
Performance Report  
Table 3-11. This data is updated in 15-minute intervals.  
After 15 minutes, the current interval is rolled over into a  
set of registers that represent the previous 96 15-minute  
intervals for the register.  
Network performance is continuously monitored and  
maintained in internal memory registers when the network  
interface is configured for ESF operation. The DSU/CSU  
maintains two sets of registers: Carrier Network Interface  
Registers (Telco) and User Network Interface Registers  
(User). The User registers contain an extra status register  
(Status Event).  
An interval total of how many of the 96 registers  
contain valid data is also kept, as well as a 24-hour total  
for each accumulator register. The relationship of the  
registers is shown in Figure 3-35.  
These registers are accumulators or status registers that  
collect performance data for the previous 24-hour period.

You can access a user interface from either the front  
panel, the SDCP (for 3161 DSU/CSUs only), the  
MODEM port (for 3160/3164 DSU/CSUs only), or the  
COM port. The 316x DSU/CSU allows only one physical  
interface to be active at a time. The front panel is the  
default user interface at power-up, after a reset, during a  
software download, and after a failure at either the local or  
remote PC, or async terminal.

The inactive interface displays the following message  
after control has been released from the previously active  
interface and another interface has not become active.  
Possible active interfaces are Ft. Panel (front panel),  
Com (local PC or async terminal, connected to COM

Releasing the Active Physical Interface  
To release the current active physical interface, either  
allow five minutes to elapse without pressing any key or  
use the Release command. To use the Release command,  
The active physical interface has been released with  
the Release command.  
The active interface connection is broken. This

Starting Front Panel  
Emulation  
The front panel emulation function enables you to  
display the front panel of a specified near-end or far-end  
316x DSU/CSU on a PC. If the DSU/CSU selected is not  
locally attached to the PC, you must first dial to the  
remote DSU/CSU before starting front panel emulation.  
The Alarm Cut-off command forces a deactivation of  
the alarm relay on the 3000 Series Carrier during an alarm  
condition. Since this function only affects the 3000 Series  
Carrier, it is only available for Model 3161 DSU/CSUs.  
The alarm relay function must first be enabled by the  
Alarm Relay configuration option (see Appendix C,  
Configuration Options).  
To start front panel emulation,  
To deactivate the alarm relay,

Using the Async Terminal  
Feature  
You can use an async terminal to manage the  
3160/3164 DSU/CSU devices from either the COM port  
or MODEM port. You can perform device management  
and configuration operations as if using the devices front  
panel without the limitation of the 2-line, 16-character  
LCD. An entire menu, submenu, test result, or all  
configuration selections for a configuration option appear  
on a single screen display  
.
This section is provided as a supplement to all the  
procedures described throughout this manual for using the  
front panel. Therefore, all the procedures, tables and  
descriptions of fields and input values provided in all  
chapters and appendices apply to the information  
displayed on the async terminal screens. There are  
differences in menu selections made from the front  
panel/PC interface and the async terminal interface when  
performing a task. Refer to the Differences Using the  
Async Terminal Interface heading within each procedure  
description to note the differences between interfaces.  
This section is limited to describing how the async  
terminal feature is configured, how it is accessed and how  
to navigate among the menus and screens.  
4. Enter the Com Port and Speed from the  
drop-down selection list boxes.  
The Com Port field should contain the actual  
communications port name as recorded in the  
Windows information file (INI).  
The Speed field should contain one of the  
following communications speeds: 1200, 2400,  
4800, 9600, 14400, or 19200 and should match the  
DSU/CSU COM port configuration.  
Setting Interface Options  
5. Choose either a Local (for near-end DSU/CSU) or  
Remote (for far-end DSU/CSU) destination.  
Certain user interface options must be set to enable  
async terminal operation. Using the front panel, use the  
Configuration (Cnfig) branch of the front panel menu  
hierarchy to edit the User Interface (User) options for  
async terminal operation. Table 3-13 shows the  
configuration options and appropriate settings for the  
Async Terminal feature. Basically, the change depends on  
the port supplying the connection. The other configuration  
options use their defaults but they should be verified.  
6. If you chose a Local destination, click on the  
Execute button. If you chose a Remote  
destination, enter the telephone number of the  
far-end DSU/CSU in the Phone Number field,  
then click on the Dial button.  
7. The front panel of the selected 316x DSU/CSU  
appears on the PC.

After the async terminal configuration options are set,  
the changes must be saved and made active. Depending on  
your preference, changes are saved to the Customer (Cust)  
Configuration option set which, in turn, must be written to  
the active Configuration option set to take affect. Or, they  
are saved directly to the Active Configuration Option set.  
Refer to the Configuration Option Areas section earlier in  
this chapter for information on saving changes to the  
Configuration option sets.

Initiating an Async Terminal Session  
Once the async terminal is connected and the  
configuration option changes are active, modem port users  
must dial-in through a modem connection to initiate a  
session using the async terminal. COM port connections  
automatically display the first level menu provided a  
password is not required.  
Figure 3-42. Password Access Screen  
Async Terminal Menus and Screens  
If access security is required, the Password Access  
screen displays the prompt for password input. If access  
security is not required, the top-level menu (or main  
menu) appears or a message appears indicating that  
another user has control of the device. In this case, the  
screen shows which type of connection is active, Ft.  
Panel, Modem, or COM Port.  
Menus differ from the front panel in that they typically  
do not use abbreviations and in some cases provide a  
more direct access to an option or function. However, the  
menu selections are straightforward and the logical  
grouping of the menu tree remains the same between  
interfaces. In general, the interfaces follow the same  
paths. A few options available from the 3160/3164  
DSU/CSU front panel are not available from the async  
terminal interface, such as the Lamp test. This is noted  
where appropriate in the procedures. The terminal  
interface also supports the same context sensitivity as the  
front panel.  
Entering a Password  
When access security is required, the Password Access  
Screen appears and the password must be entered.  
If the password is valid, the DSU/CSU’s top-level  
menu is displayed.  
By convention throughout this manual, examples of  
screens that access the data ports are always shown as  
they appear with the 4-port 3164 DSU/CSU. Menus for  
the 2-port DSU/CSU only display the information for  
Port 1 and Port 2.  
If the password is invalid, an invalid password  
message displays and the Password Access Screen  
redisplays and waits for password entry  
.
The top line of every screen always displays the menu  
path for the function (or configuration option) being  
displayed. The second line shows the customer  
identification (CID) number and the DSU/CSUs model  
number. The remaining screen area is used for menu or  
option-specific information.  
Figure 3-42 shows an example of the Password Access  
screen.  
There are three screen types: menu selection, edit and  
display screens. Menu screens list selections available  
through the menu system, edit screens provide the  
interface for changing configuration options, and display  
screens provide configuration information and results  
from performance and device specific tests. Unlike the  
front panel operation where you constantly key forward to  
view or choose configuration options and selections, the

ACCULINK 316x DSU/CSU  
Async Terminal feature displays all selections for a menu  
or configuration option in full screen format with  
functions available to operate on the screen information  
appearing at the bottom of the screen.  
Appendix A provides a complete Front Panel Menu  
tree which illustrates a menu structure similar to that  
supported by the async terminal interface. Refer to this  
appendix for assistance when navigating through the  
menu system.  
All functions operate the same throughout the async  
terminal interface whenever they appear at the bottom of  
the screen. These functions include the following:  
Alarm conditions are indicated on the upper right  
corner of the menu screen under the header LED Status.  
For example, if an alarm is reported on the DTE interface,  
DTE appears under LED Status in inverse video.  
Likewise, Test appears if a test is running on a device.  
NET appears to report alarms on network. Chan appears  
if any of the data ports are configured to generate All  
Ones (refer to the All Ones configuration option in the  
Port Configuration Options section of Appendix C).  
When these indicators appear, they reflect the current  
status upon entering into the menu system or whenever  
you return to the main menu.  
T
o select from the menu or screen, use the Tab key  
to move the cursor from one field to the next.  
Pressing the <CR> carriage return or <Enter> key  
while the cursor is positioned on a field accepts the

Edit and Display Screens  
To return to the screen one step up in the menu tree,  
Edit and display screens use the same navigation keys.  
The Tab key moves the cursor from field to field in an edit  
screen and is used to navigate to a Function key on both  
screen types. Use the carriage return (Enter) to make the  
selection. When you complete all the changes on an edit  
screen or finish viewing a display screen, tab to and select  
Previous at the bottom of the current screen. This moves  
you one step up in the menu tree, thus enabling you to  
navigate within the menu system.  
select Previous. This is the same as pressing the  
key when using the front panel. This selection  
is not available on the main menu.  
Menu Selection Screens  
Figure 3-43 shows the top-level menu screen as it

Editing: Edit screens allow you to edit or change  
information on a screen. Basically, the procedure for  
editing or changing options using an async terminal is the  
same as the front panel. However, you must take into  
account the full screen capability which makes  
consolidating menu selections to one screen possible by  
using the screen’s Function keys.

Overview  
Troubleshooting  
The ACCULINK 316x DSU/CSU can detect and  
report faults, perform diagnostic tests, and download  
software. These features ensure that your DSU/CSU is  
giving you optimum performance in your network.  
The DSU/CSU offers a number of front panel alarms to  
alert you to possible problems. Once problems are  
detected, you can use the troubleshooting table  
(Appendix F) to decide what action to take. Also refer to  
the Test Commands section later in this chapter to isolate  
problems via loopback tests and test patterns. A lamp test  
is also available.

Alarm Cleared. An Excessive Error Rate at the  
Network Interface.  
Alarms  
The 316x DSU/CSU monitors alarm conditions  
occurring on either the network interface or the DSX-1  
Drop/Insert port (DTE). For Model 3160/3164  
DSU/CSUs, you can route these alarms to the MODEM  
port, the COM port, or both. Each alarm is preceded by  
the customer identification so you know which DSU/CSU  
is having the problem. Possible alarm messages are as  
follows, where x is the DTE or Network interface where  
the condition exists.  
Yellow alarm signal received at the x Interface.  
Alarm Cleared. Yellow alarm signal at the x  
Interface.  
If two alarm conditions are detected at once, the higher  
priority alarm is reported. However, if an even higher  
priority alarm is detected before the first alarm is cleared,  
the later alarm is not reported.  
For Model 3161 DSU/CSUs, these alarms activate the  
alarm relay, if so configured.  
Alarms remain active until the alarm condition is  
cleared. Also, an alarm clear message is reported, unless  
another alarm occurs right away. In this case, the alarm  
report takes precedence over the alarm clear message.  
Continuous Loss Of Signal at the x Interface.  
Alarm Cleared. Loss of Signal condition at the x  
Interface.  
You can specify the number of minutes to wait between  
successive dial out alarms and between retry attempts  
after failed alarm dial outs. For more details, refer to the

If you are using SNMP to manage your 3160/3164  
DSU/CSU, link-up and link-down traps are generated  
when the state of an interface changes. A link-down trap  
is generated when an interface transitions from an up state  
to a down state. A link-up is generated when an interface  
transitions from a down state to an up state. Table 4-1  
defines traps for each interface.

Differences Using the Async Terminal: For the async  
terminal interface, the Test branch differs from the front  
panel Test branch in both organization and selection. The  
async terminal’s full-screen display organizes the test  
selections into tests run on the T1 interface and tests run  
on ports, as shown in Figure 4-2.  
Test Commands  
The test commands enable you to run loopbacks and  
test patterns on the DSU/CSU, and to test the front panel  
LEDs. These tests can help you isolate areas of trouble in  
case you are having problems with your 316x DSU/CSU.  
Access all Test commands from the Test branch of the  
front panel menu tree (see Figure 4-1).

the receipt of a DCLB-actuate sequence or DCLB-release sequence (either V.54 or FT1 (ANSI) compliant sequences)  
from the network or far-end DSU/CSU.  
NOTE: When this configuration option is enabled (for V.54, FT1, or both), receiving a DCLB-actuate sequence on a  
particular port causes the DSU/CSU to initiate a DCLB on that port, provided that a DCLB can be performed  
based on the current state of the port and DSU/CSU. Receiving the DCLB release sequence terminates the  
DCLB.  
Disab – Ignores the DCLB-actuate and DCLB-release sequences for this port.  
V.54 – Enables DCLB-actuate and DCLB-release sequences that comply with the V.54 standard for ‘‘Inter-DCE signaling  
for point to point circuits.”

Alarm Configuration Options  
Alrm Msg: Disab  
Next Disab Modem Com Both Prev  
Alarm Messages. Controls the generation and routing of alarm messages to an ASCII terminal/printer attached to either  
the MODEM or COM port. An alarm message generates at the beginning of an alarm state and is followed by an alarm  
clear message. Only one alarm state can exist at any one time. When two or more alarm conditions exist, the highest  
priority alarm state is declared. Alarm state priority, from highest to lowest, is LOS, LOF, AIS, OOF, EER, yellow alarm.  
Alarm messages consist of a customer identification flag, Alarm Set or Alarm Clear, the alarm condition, and the interface  
at which the alarm has been detected.  
Disab – Prevents an alarm message for any alarm conditions.  
Modem – Enables alarm messages routed to the MODEM port (and sent if the MODEM port is not the active physical  
interface).  
Com – Enables alarm messages routed to the COM port (and sent if the COM port is not the active physical interface).  
Both – Enables alarm messages routed to both the MODEM and the COM ports.  
NOTE: Alarm messages are only sent to a particular port if the port is currently configured for proprietary ASCII or Term,  
if the async terminal is idle. If the SNMP management link is active for the port the alarm message for that port is  
discarded. Refer to Chapter 4, Maintenance, for more information about alarm messages.  
NOTE: This configuration option is not displayed on Model 3161 DSU/CSUs.  
SNMP Trap: Disab  
Next Enab Disab Prev  
SNMP Trap Enable. Specifies whether SNMP trap messages are sent over the SNMP management link.  
Enab – Enables sending SNMP trap messages over the SNMP management link.  
Disab – Disables sending SNMP trap messages over the SNMP management link.

DialOut: Disab  
Next Enab Disab Prev  
Alarm and Trap Dial Out. Controls whether alarm messages sent to the MODEM port initiate a call (to the phone number  
in Directory A) if the modem connection has not already been established. If the Call Retry configuration option is  
enabled, the alarm message is held until the call is completed or a maximum of five retries have occurred. If more than  
one message is received while waiting for a call retry, only the highest priority message is held and all others are  
discarded. When the modem port is configured as the SNMP management link, up to ten SNMP trap messages are  
queued at the interface.  
Enab – Permits automatic call initiation (dial out) on the MODEM port when an alarm message must be sent.  
Disab – Discards messages sent to the MODEM port if a modem connection has not been established.  
NOTE: This configuration option is not displayed on Model 3161 DSU/CSUs.  
Call Retry: Disab  
Next Enab Disab Prev  
Call Retry on Alarm. Determines whether an uncompleted call is retried. Calls initiated while attempting to send an alarm  
or trap message to the MODEM port are retried after a five-minute delay if this configuration option is enabled.  
Enab – Retries calls up to five times with a five-minute delay between each. If an alternate dial-out directory is specified,  
both the alarm directory and the alternate directory are retried up to five times.

Power Cable  
Power Input Connector  
The power cable is a 14.5-foot, 18 AWG stranded  
cable. The connector is terminated at one end with a  
6-position Molex 39-01-2060 connector. The other end of  
the cable is terminated with a bare wire that should be  
connected to a DC power source. Figure D-9 shows the  
wire colors. The power source can be either a single  
source of +24 Vdc or up to two sources of –48 Vdc  
(A and B). You cannot connect +24 Vdc and 48 Vdc to  
the same unit. See the installation instructions in  
Chapter 2, Installation.

interface is always up(1) when the  
MODEM is connected and  
This object specifies the desired state (configuration)  
of the interface. This object is supported only for the  
MODEM port. It provides the ability to switch between  
using the MODEM port as the SNMP management link  
and ASCII operations (Dial-out, FPE). Refer to the 3100  
Series device document for more information. The value  
of this object will not affect the state of any of the  
interfaces on the T1 DSU/CSU other than the MODEM  
port. Only the following values are supported by the  
DSU/CSU:  
down(2) when the MODEM is not  
connected.  
The interface is never in the  
testing(3) state.  
Data Ports:  
The interface is up(1) when the  
port is assigned to a T1 interface  
and both CTS and DSR are ON.  
up(1) – The SNMP management link is active on  
the MODEM port (i.e., the Modem Use  
configuration option is set to SNMP).  
The interface is down(2) when the  
port is unassigned or either CTS or  
DSR is OFF  
.
The interface is testing(3) when a  
test is active on the interface.  
testing(3) – The SNMP management link is inactive  
on the MODEM port and can be used for  
proprietary ASCII functions.

Object (ifEntry 8)  
Interface Group – Input Counters  
(objects ifEntry 10 to ifEntry 15)  
This object specifies the current operational state of the  
interface. The value of this object for each interface is  
defined as follows:  
The objects used to collect statistics on the data  
received by an interface apply only to the COM port and  
the MODEM port when the port is configured as the  
SNMP management link. For interfaces that are not  
configured as the SNMP management link, these statistics  
are not provided and an error status is returned if access is  
attempted. The objects used to collect input statistics are  
listed below:  
Network T1:  
The interface is up(1) when no  
alarm conditions exist.  
The interface is down(2) when an  
alarm condition is active.

ACCULINK 316x DSU/CSU  
Operational Note: The fractional T1 group only allows  
specification of an entire interface to a particular time slot  
on another interface (i.e., a time slot on one interface  
cannot be mapped to a time slot on another interface).  
This prevents complete mapping of time slots on the DTE  
Drop/Insert T1 interface to time slots on the network T1  
interface. For mapping time slots between the network  
and DTE T1 interfaces the following convention will be  
used. Time slots on the T1 interface that are mapped to  
another T1 interface (i.e., not a data port) will be  
connected in ascending order. For example, if the  
fractional table for the network T1 interface maps time  
slots 1, 3 and 5 to the DTE T1 interface and the DTE T1  
interface maps time slots 10, 11 and 15 to the network the  
following time slots will be connected: N1 – D10,  
N3 – D11, and N5 to D15.  
Near End Group – The DS1 Total Table

The Input Signal Table  
These tables are not supported for either the network or  
DTE Drop/Insert T1 interfaces.  
The Output Signal Table  
The Asynchronous Port Table is not supported by the  
DSU/CSU for the synchronous DCE data ports. The Input  
Signal and Output Signal Tables are not supported for the  
MODEM and COM ports. The following sections provide  
clarification for objects contained in the RS-232-like MIB  
when it is not clear how the object definition in MIB is  
related to the DSU/CSU.  
The DS1 Fractional Group, DS1/E1 MIB

fractional table. This table (dsx1FracTable) is fully  
supported by the T1 DSU/CSU and allows channel (time  
slots) to be mapped between the T1 interface and data  
ports. If an invalid channel map (e.g. two interfaces  
mapped to a single time slot, one interface mapped to two  
T1s, etc.) is received an error will be returned to the  
SNMP manager. The T1 DSU/CSU validates all channel  
configurations before applying them.

Glossary  
AIS  
Alarm Indication Signal. A signal transmitted instead of the normal signal to  
continue transmission continuity and to indicate to the receiving terminal that a  
transmission fault exists at either the transmitting terminal or upstream of the  
transmitting signal. Sometimes referred to as Blue Alarm.  
AMI  
Alternate Mark Inversion. A line encoding technique and a bipolar return-to-zero  
signal.  
Async Terminal  
This feature allows a DSU/CSU to be controlled from an asynchronous (async)  
terminal. When this feature is enabled, the async terminal menus and displays  
emulate the DCP without being limited to the 2-line LCD display.  
Auxiliary Backplane  
An 8-slot backplane that fits over one half of the open section of the 3000 Series  
Carrier. This is a passive assembly that provides interconnect capability between  
3151 CSUs and 3161 DSU/CSUs and provides all interface connectors.  
AWG  
BES  
American Wire Gauge.  
Bursty Error Seconds. A second in which more than one, but less than 320 CRC6  
error events, have occurred.  
BPV  
Bipolar Violation. A modified bipolar signaling method in which a control code is  
inserted into the original data format.  
B8ZS  
CRC  
CSU  
Bipolar with 8 Zero Substitution.  
Cyclic Redundancy Check. A method of error detection.  
Channel Service Unit. Protects the T1 line from damage and regenerates the  
T1 signal.  
DCE  
DSU  
Data Communications Equipment.  
Data Service Unit. Data communications equipment which transmits digital data  
over a private line. Also used for limited distance communications over the PSTN  
when a high-speed modem is not needed.  
DS0  
Digital Signal level 0. A signal of worldwide standard speed for PCM digital voice  
channels running at 64 kbps.  
DS1  
Digital Signal level 1. A signal of 1.544 Mbps in North America.  
DSX-1  
Digital Signal Cross Connect level 1. An interconnection point for terminals,  
multiplexers and transmission facilities.  
DTE  
DTMF  
D4  
Data Terminal Equipment.  
Dual Tone Multifrequency. The basis of operation for a pushbutton telephone.  
The transmission standard that specifies 12 frames as a superframe that is used for  
frame synchronization and to locate signaling bits.

End of Number.  
Errored second. A second with one or more ESF error events (one or more CRC6  
error events or OOFs).  
ESD  
ESF  
Electrostatic discharge.  
Extended Superframe. The T1 transmission standard that specifies 24 frames as an  
extended superframe to be used for frame synchronization and to locate signaling  
bits.  
FCC  
FDL  
Federal Communications Commission.  
Facility Data Link. The selected bits in the ESF format that are used for control,  
monitoring and testing.  
LBO  
Line Build-out. The amount of attenuation of the transmitted signal that is used to  
compensate for the length of wire between the transmitter and the receiver.  
LCD  
LED  
LOF  
Liquid Crystal Display.  
Light-Emitting Diode.  
Loss of Frame. Occurs when a DS1 terminal is unable to synchronize on the DS1  
signal for some interval (nominally 2 1/2 seconds).  
LOFC  
LOS  
Loss of Frame Count. A count of the number of LOFs declared.  
Loss of Signal. The T1 line condition where there are no pulses.  
MIB  
Management Information Base. Database of managed objects used by SNMP to  
provide network management information.  
MUX  
OOF  
PDV  
Multiplexer.  
An error condition in which two out of four synchronization bits are in error.  
Pulse Density Violation.  
PPP  
Point-to-Point Protocol. A link layer protocol used by SNMP.  
Public Switched Telephone Network.  
PSTN  
QRSS  
Quasi-Random Signal. A test pattern simulating a random pattern of digital ones  
and zeros used to simulate normal transmission.  
SDCP  
SES  
Shared Diagnostic Control Panel.  
Severely Errored Seconds. A second with 320 or more CRC6 error events or one or  
more OOFs occurring.  
SLIP  
Serial Line Internet Protocol. A link layer protocol used by SNMP.  
SNMP  
Simple Network Management Protocol. A generic network management system that  
allows the device to be managed by any industry-standard SNMP manager  
.
UAS  
Unavailable Seconds. A count of 1-second intervals when service is unavailable.
