Introduction  
1
Overview  
The ACCULINKR 316x DSU/CSU acts as an interface between the T1 digital  
network and the customer premises equipment, converting signals received from  
the DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) to bipolar signals that can be transmitted  
over T1 lines. Typical applications include shared access to network-based  
services, Local Area Network (LAN)/Wide Area Network (WAN) interconnection,  
and fractional T1 network applications.  
In addition to the T1 network interface and the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1)  
interface, the Model 3160 provides two synchronous data ports while the Model  
3164 provides four synchronous data ports. The Model 3165 provides one  
synchronous data port, but does not provide the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1)  
interface.  
The Model 3161 (carrier-mounted DSU/CSU) provides two ports in addition to the  
DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface and is designed to fit into the COMSPHERE  
3000 Series Carrier.  
For more information about the carrier-mounted DSU/CSU, refer to the  
ACCULINK 3151 CSU and 3161 DSU/CSU General Information Guide and the  
COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier Installation Manual.  
Features  
The DSU/CSU optimizes network performance with a wide range of features such  
as the following:  
H
Software configuration menu displayed via a liquid crystal display (LCD) to  
permit quick and easy operation, and elimination of complicated hardware  
strapping.  
H

H
Integral modem for standalone DSU/CSUs.  
Asynchronous (async) terminal interface support.  
Telnet access for remote async terminal operations.  
Network management provided through industry-standard Simple Network  
Management Protocol (SNMP).  
DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) Interface  
The DTE Drop/Insert interface allows DTEs/PBXs that support the DS1 signal  
format to share the T1 network with other high-speed equipment. This is available  
on 2-port and 4-port DSU/CSUs.  
Alarm Message Capability  
The DSU/CSU can be attached, either locally or remotely, to an ASCII terminal or  
printer to display or print alarm messages. Alarms can also be displayed on a PC  
that is using a terminal emulation package.  
Front Panel Emulation  
The DSU/CSU offers functionality through Front Panel Emulation software that is  
similar to that provided by the DSU/CSU front panel. 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.  
Integral Modem  
The standalone DSU/CSUs contain an integral low-speed (2400 bps), V.22bis  
dial modem that enables communication with remote devices such as another  
316x DSU/CSU, an ASCII terminal or printer, or a PC running the 3100 Series  
Front Panel Emulation software.  
Async Terminal Interface Support  
The DSU/CSU can be configured and managed from an asynchronous (async)  
terminal. The async terminal’s full screen display uses a menu hierarchy similar  
to the DSU/CSU’s front panel. You can perform device management and  
configuration operations as if you are using the DSU/CSU’s front panel, but you  
do not have the limitation of the 2-line, 16-character LCD.  
Telnet Access  
Remote async terminal operations can be performed using Telnet access. Telnet  
is a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) service that  
supports a virtual terminal interface.

Introduction  
SNMP Management Support  
SNMP is a network management protocol 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  
or PC; an agent consisting of a software program housed within a device (e.g.,  
the DSU/CSU); and a Management Information Base (MIB) consisting of a  
database of managed objects. The DSU/CSU can be managed by any  
industry-standard SNMP manager.  
Two link layer protocols, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and Serial Line Internet  
Protocol (SLIP), are supported for connection to an external SNMP manager or  
network device (e.g., a router).  
The SNMP manager or network device can be directly connected to the  
communications (COM) port. An external LAN Adapter can be connected to  
either the COM port or the auxiliary (AUX) port to provide Ethernet connectivity.  
Also, the DSU/CSU can be daisy chained together by connecting the COM port of  
one device to the AUX port of the other, providing SNMP connectivity.  
The SNMP management system can communicate to the DSU/CSU remotely  
through the Facility Data Link (FDL) or (for 2-port and 4-port DSU/CSUs) the  
synchronous data port’s Embedded Data Link (EDL).  
Physical Description  
The 316x Series consists of a Model 3160 DSU/CSU (2-port), a Model 3164  
DSU/DSU (4-port), a Model 3165 DSU/CSU (1-port), and a Model 3161  
(carrier-mounted) DSU/CSU.  
For more information about the carrier-mounted DSU/CSU, refer to the  
ACCULINK 3151 CSU and 3161 DSU/CSU General Information Guide and the  
COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier Installation Manual.

Installation  
Power-Up Self-Test  
After you connect the DSU/CSU to a power source, the unit performs the  
power-up self-test to ensure that it 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,  
The self-test includes a basic processor test, a limited memory test, a code  
checksum test, and basic verification tests of the internal components. The front  
panel LCD displays the progress and pass/fail status of these power-up tests.  
The power-up self-test consists of the following steps:  
1. Once the DSU/CSU is plugged in, the In Progress screen appears and the  
Fail LED blinks ON and Off continuously.  
Self-Test:  
In Progress

2. All the LEDs then start to flash simultaneously in the pattern twice ON, then  
Off. Then, the LCD begins to flash characters and numbers in the same  
pattern, alternating with the flashing LEDs.  
3. If the self-test is successful, the Passed screen appears for one second, the  
Fail LED turns Off and the OK LED lights.

Changing Configuration Options  
The 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 DTE Drop/Insert  
(DSX-1) interface selection is disabled, many of the menu choices do not appear.  
Be aware that although all options are shown in this guide, what you see on your  
DSU/CSU varies with your configuration.  
The DSU/CSU offers configuration options located in the following memory areas:  
H
Active (Activ) – This is the configuration option set currently active for the  
DSU/CSU. Before a configuration option set becomes 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 the  
Factory set. This area can be written to and controls the current operation of  
the device.  
H
H
H
Customer 1 (Cust1) – This is the first of two sets of customer-defined  
configuration options. This area can be written to.  
Customer 2 (Cust2) – This is the second of two sets of customer-defined  
configuration options. This area can be written to.  
Factory 1 (Fact1) – This is a set of configuration options preset at the  
factory. 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.  
H
Factory 2 (Fact2) – This is a set of configuration options preset at the  
factory. 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.

Selecting the Port  
The SNMP manager, Telnet device, or network device (e.g., a router) can be  
directly connected to the communications (COM) port. An external LAN Adapter  
can be connected to either the COM port or the auxiliary (AUX) port to provide  
Ethernet or Token Ring connectivity. Also, the DSU/CSU can be daisy chained  
together by connecting the COM port of one device to the AUX port of the other,  
providing SNMP or Telnet connectivity. Use the MODEM port when accessing the  
DSU/CSU through a dial-up connection.  
The COM port can support either synchronous or asynchronous PPP, or  
asynchronous SLIP at data rates of up to 38,400 bps. The AUX port can support  
data rates up to 38,400 bps. The MODEM port can support either synchronous or  
asynchronous PPP, or asynchronous SLIP at data rates of up to 2400 bps.

SNMP manager) supports such negotiation. The IP address is composed of four  
fields with three digits per field (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).  
The IP address is set for the MODEM port, the COM port, or the AUX port (with  
LAN Adapter or daisy chain), depending on which one has been chosen as the  
SNMP or Telnet communication link. The example below assumes that an IP  
address of 010.155.111.222 is being set for the COM port. You can use the same

Operation  
Allocating Data Ports  
By using the configuration options, assign a specific port to DS0 channels on  
either the network interface or the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface. The  
following methods are available to assign DS0 channels to the port:  
H
Block – Allows a block of contiguous channels to be assigned by specifying  
a data port rate and an initial DS0 channel (the first DS0 channel in a block of  
DS0 channels). The number of channels assigned is determined by the port  
rate. Only those initial DS0 channel numbers that provide enough bandwidth  
(based on the port’s data rate) are displayed on the screen. These channels  
are automatically assigned to the destination T1 interface (Network or DTE  
Drop/Insert) when the initial DS0 channel is selected.  
H
H
ACAMI (Alternate Channel Alternate Block Inversion) – Allows a block of  
contiguous channels to be assigned by specifying a data port rate and an  
initial DS0 channel (the first DS0 channel in a block of DS0 channels).  
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.  
Chan (Channel) – Individually selects the DS0 channels to allocate to the  
data port. The data port rate is automatically determined based on the  
number of channels selected.  
Once a port is selected, you have access to the configuration options to complete  
the port allocation procedure. These configuration options enable you to,

Assign the selected port to the desired interface.  
Select the desired method for channel allocation.  
Select the port rate and starting channel (if the allocation method is block or  
ACAMI).  
H
Select the specific channels (if the allocation method is by individual  
channel).

Providing Backup Capability  
If the T1 network fails, the DSU/CSU provides the ability to reconfigure the unit  
and restore (at least partially) priority data circuits through an external backup  
device.  
You can store backup configuration options in the Customer 2 set of  
customer-defined configuration options. The Enterprise MIB variable  
devConfigAreaCopy allows the entire contents of one configuration area to be  
copied into another configuration area via SNMP.  
By cross-connecting two synchronous data ports to each other, one port can  
provide a backup path for the other. As soon as the ports are configured to be  
mapped to each other, Data Set Ready (DSR) for the ports is turned on. The  
external backup device can be configured to initiate dialing when it detects the  
off-to-on transition of DSR.  
Selecting the Timing Source  
The 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. The  
clock for each interface is 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 it is  
independent of the master clock rate. This means that the master clock rate and  
the DSU/CSU interface rates may be different.

Acquiring/Releasing the User Interface  
You can access the user interface from either the front panel, the COM port, the  
MODEM port (for standalone DSU/CSUs), or the SDCP (for carrier-mounted  
DSU/CSUs). The DSU/CSU allows only one user interface to be active at a time.  
The front panel is the default user interface at power-up or after a reset. It is also  
the default during a software download or when a failure occurs at either the local  
or remote PC interface.  
You can switch an inactive user interface to active if:  
H
The current active user interface has had no activity (no key was pressed) for

Enabling the Communication Port for  
Carrier-Mounted DSU/CSUs  
Communication between the carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs and an external PC,  
ASCII device, SNMP manager, or async terminal interface (attached either locally  
or through an external modem) occurs through a shared communication (COM)  
port. (For COM port cabling information, refer to the COMSPHERE 3000 Series  
Carrier Installation Manual.) Unlike standalone DSU/CSUs, the carrier-mounted  
DSU/CSUs do not have a dedicated COM port for external access. Once the  
COM port is enabled, other COM port configuration options can be selected.  
These options are used to configure Port 2 on the Auxiliary Backplane as a COM  
port for the carrier.  
NOTE:  
If a Model 3161 DSU/CSU has the COM port enabled, Port 2 cannot be used  
as a data port.  
" Procedure  
To enable the COM port on the carrier-mounted DSU/CSU:  
1. From the top-level menu screen, select Cnfig.  
2. Select the configuration option set to be copied into the Edit area by using the  
appropriate Function key. Use the scroll keys, if necessary.

H
If configured for ASCII, only one ASCII device may be used for the carrier. (If  
two COM ports are configured for ASCII, neither will work.)  
If configured for Mgmt, each device in the carrier can support an Mgmt COM  
port; however, each Mgmt COM port must be connected to a different subnet.  
To facilitate IP data routing, the device with the closest link to the SNMP  
manager or Telnet client should be configured as the IP Bus Master.  
H
If configured for either ASCII or Mgmt, the carrier COM port may be  
configured to control an external device (e.g., modem, x.25 PAD) through the  
use of AT or user-specified commands.

Performance Reports  
When the network interface is configured for ESF operation, network  
performance is continuously monitored and maintained in two sets of aggregate  
registers: Carrier Network Interface Registers (Telco) and User Network Interface  
Registers (User). The User registers contain an extra status register (Status  
registers are status registers that collect performance data for the previous  
24-hour period. Performance data is updated in 15-minute intervals. After  
15 minutes, the current interval is rolled over into a set of accumulator registers  
that represent the previous 96 15-minute intervals for the register. 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.  
For 2-port and 4-port DSU/CSUs, port performance is continuously monitored  
and maintained in memory registers when the port is configured to use EDL. The  
DSU/CSU maintains two sets of port registers for each synchronous data port:  
far-end port registers and near-end port registers. These registers are status  
registers that collect performance data for the previous 8-hour period. Port data is  
updated in 15-minute intervals. After 15 minutes, the current interval is rolled over  
into a set of accumulator registers that represent the previous 32 15-minute  
intervals for the register. An interval total of how many of the 32 registers contain  
valid data is also kept, as well as a 8-hour total for each accumulator register.  
NOTE:  
The following procedure is an example only. Screen displays may vary  
depending on the model and configuration of the DSU/CSU. The  
procedures for displaying Telco and port registers are similar to this example.

Alarms  
The DSU/CSU can be attached, either locally or remotely, to an ASCII terminal or  
printer to display or print alarm messages. Alarms can also be displayed on a PC  
that is using a terminal emulation package.  
For standalone DSU/CSUs, you can route these alarms to the MODEM port, the  
COM port, or both. For carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs, you can route them to the  
COM port or dial them out using an external device.  
Each alarm message contains a customer identification to indicate which remote  
DSU/CSU is reporting an alarm. For information about customer identification,  
Possible alarm messages are as follows:  
H Continuous Loss Of Signal detected at the x Interface  
(where x is either Network or DTE).  
H Alarm Cleared. Loss Of Signal condition at the x  
Interface(where x is either Network or DTE).  
H Continuous Out Of Frame condition detected at the x

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. (The alarms listed above are in priority  
order with the highest priority listed first.)  
Alarms remain active until the alarm condition is cleared. Also, an alarm clear  
message is only sent when there are no other alarms active.

SNMP Traps  
SNMP traps are unsolicited messages that are sent from the DSU/CSU to an  
SNMP manager when the DSU/CSU detects certain pre-specified conditions.  
These traps enable the SNMP manager to monitor the state of the network.  
The SNMP Trap 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 DSU/CSU, an IP address for each  
SNMP manager specified, and the type of traps to be sent from this DSU/CSU.  
Trap types consist of the following:  
H
General traps – Include warmStart and authenticationFailure. The DSU/CSU  
sends a warmStart trap after it has been reset to indicate that it has just  
reinitialized itself. The DSU/CSU 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.  
H
H
Enterprise Specific traps – Signify that the DSU/CSU has recognized an  
enterprise-specific event. See Table 4-4 for enterprise-specific traps. These  
Link Traps – Identify the condition of the communications interface, either  
linkDown (one of the communications interfaces has failed) or linkUp (one of  
the communications interfaces has just come up). These traps are set by the  
Link Trap configuration option. The communications interfaces for which  
option. Table 4-5 defines traps for each interface.

Data Port Channel Allocation Method. If NET or DTE is selected using the Assign To  
configuration option, this configuration option designates the method for assigning DS0  
channels to the destination T1 interface.  
Block – Allocates DS0 channels to this port by the block method.  
ACAMI – Allocates DS0 channels to this port by the Alternate Channel Alternate Mark  
Inversion method. The difference between block and ACAMI is that the number of  
channels allocated with ACAMI is double the number needed for the port rate. With  
ACAMI, every alternate DS0 channel does not carry data from the port but always  
transmits and receives all ones.  
Chan – Allocates DS0 channels to this port by the individual channel method.  
NOTE: Changing this configuration option from one method to another (Block,  
ACAMI, or Chan) deallocates all DS0 channels assigned to either the  
network interface or the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface.

Data Port Rate (appears when using the block or ACAMI channel allocation method, or  
when a synchronous data port is assigned to another synchronous data port).  
Designates the data rate for the port. Available selections depend on the current base  
rate configured for the port. The factory default for Nx64 is 384 kbps, and Nx56 is  
336 kbps.  
NOTES: – This configuration option does not appear if the individual channel  
allocation method (Chan) is selected using the Assign By configuration  
option.  
– Changing this configuration option from one rate to another deallocates  
all DS0 channels assigned to either the network interface or the DTE  
Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface.  
– When you enable EDL (for 2-port and 4-port DSU/CSUs), 8 kbps of the  
total bandwidth allocated for this port is not available to the synchronous  
data port. For example, if you select 256 kbps and EDL is enabled, only  
248 kbps are available.  
– When you enable EDL (for 2-port and 4-port DSU/CSUs) on a  
synchronous data port and the clock source is set to that synchronous  
data port, the external device must provide a clock of 8 kbps less than  
the expected data port rate. For example, if you select 64 kbps, the  
external clock source must supply a 56 kbps clock signal.  
– For the 3164 DSU/CSU there is a hardware limitation that limits the  
combined bandwidth used by Port 1 and Port 3 to a total of 2048 kbps  
and the combined bandwidth used by Port 2 and Port 4 to 2048 kbps.  
Thus, when entering this menu, the rate choices are limited due to this  
constraint. This limitation only occurs in configurations mapping a port to  
a port or when mapping ports to the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface  
and to the network.

Available selections are only those DS0 channels that provide enough bandwidth (based  
on the configured data rate) to be used as a starting channel number.  
Select the desired starting channel number by pressing the Function key under that  
number. When you make the selection, the DSU/CSU allocates the correct amount of  
DS0 channels to support the data rate currently configured for the port.

Prtn  
Nn  
This DS0 channel is allocated to port n, where n is a number from 1 to  
4. You can modify this value on this screen for this port only.  
This DS0 channel is allocated to the network interface DS0 channel n,  
where n is a number from 1 to 24. You cannot modify this value on this  
screen.  
Dn  
This DS0 channel is allocated to the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1)  
interface DS0 channel n, where n is a number from 1 to 24. You can  
modify this value on this screen.  
Select the channel by pressing the Function key under that number. To deallocate a port,  
press the Function key under that port number. Pressing the Function key under  
channels assigned to other ports has no effect.  
NOTES: – The DSU/CSU automatically derives the data rate for the port from the  
number of DS0 channels allocated.  
– For the 3164 DSU/CSU there is a hardware limitation that limits the  
combined bandwidth used by Port 1 and Port 3 to a total of 2048 kbps  
and the combined bandwidth used by Port 2 and Port 4 to 2048 kbps. If  
a selection of Prtn causes this limit to be exceeded, the selection is  
ignored and the “–” continues to be displayed for the channel.

Alarm signals on the network and DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interfaces.  
NOTE: This configuration option is not available for 1-port DSU/CSUs or if the DTE  
Drop/Insert (DSX-1) Interface is disabled. If the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1)  
interface is disabled, the DSU/CSU always generates the Yellow Alarm  
signal on the network interface.  
Enab – Generates the Yellow Alarm signal for both the network and DTE Drop/Insert  
(DSX-1) interfaces.  
Disab – Disables the Yellow Alarm signal. When this configuration option is disabled,  
Yellow Alarm conditions on the network interface cause an AIS signal to be transmitted  
on the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface.  
NOTE: When this configuration option is disabled, the DTE equipment connected  
to the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface is responsible for generation of  
the Yellow Alarm signal on the network interface. In this case, the interface  
port marked DTE must only be connected to an FCC Part 68 Registered  
(for USA) and Canadian DOC Certified (for Canada) Digital Service Unit or  
System, such as PBX, with a DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface. Failure to  
do so is a violation of FCC Rules or DOC Regulations.

DSU/CSU Clock Source. Specifies the master clock source for the DSU/CSU. This  
selection synchronizes all internal timing and external interface clocks. The clock rate(s)  
for the external timing interfaces are independent of the input rate for the master clock.  
Failure of the clock specified by the Clock Source selection results in automatic fallback  
to internal clock.  
NET – Configures the network interface as the master clock source.  
DTE – Configures the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface as the master clock source.  
This selection is not available for 1-port DSU/CSUs or if the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1)

this selection, the master clock source is changed to NET.  
Prt1 – Configures data port 1 as the master clock source. This is the only synchronous  
data port you can use for the master clock. If you enable EDL if for Port 1 and the  
DSU/CSU Clock Source is set to Prt1, the external device must provide clocking of  
8 kbps less than the expected data port rate. For example, if you select 64 kbps, the  
external clock must supply a 56 kbps clock signal.  
Int – Configures the internal clock as the master clock source.  
Ext – Configures an external clock (provided through the Clock In connector) as the  
master clock source. This selection is only available on 2-port and 4-port DSU/CSUs.

affects calls that are initiated in an attempt to send an alarm or trap message to the  
modem port or carrier external communication port device. The alternate phone number  
to try is contained in one of the five call directories. If call retry is enabled, the initial call  
is retried at the original number once before a call attempt to the alternate number is  
tried. If the call to the alternate number is unsuccessful, it is also retried once. The  
alternate dial-out option applies to each alarm/trap event. Once a call for an alarm/trap  
message either completes or fails all retry attempts, the next alarm/trap attempts to  
establish a call to the phone number contained in the alarm directory.

IPBusMast: Disab  
Next Enab Disab Prev  
Setting the IP Bus Master. Specifies whether or not a particular carrier-mounted unit is  
the IP Bus Master. There can only be one IP Bus Master per 3000 Series Carrier.  
Typically, the carrier-mounted unit that has the SNMP/Telnet management system  
connected to it is the IP Bus Master. This allows for faster access to the remaining  
carrier units. If an SNMP/Telnet management system is connected to another  
carrier-mounted unit (i.e. not the IP Bus Master) and the SNMP/Telnet management  
system tries to access another carrier-mounted unit, the data has to be routed to the IP  
Bus Master first. Once the IP Bus Master receives the data, it is routed to the  
appropriate slot.  
Enab – This unit is the IP Bus Master. Only one IP Bus Master is allowed per 3000  
Series Carrier.  
Disab – This unit is not the IP Bus Master.  
NOTE: This configuration option is available on carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs  
only. Y

AUX Port Interface  
The Auxiliary (AUX) port connects to the LAN Adapter for SNMP or Telnet  
applications, or to another DSU/CSU’s COM port for daisy chain connectivity.  
(The SNMP LAN Adapter includes the cable that is needed to attach it to the  
DSU/CSU.) The AUX port connector is an 8-position unkeyed modular connector  
for the Model 3160 DSU/CSU (Table D-4) and a DB25-type socket connector for  
Model 3164 and 3165 DSU/CSUs (Table D-5).  
NOTE:  
For daisy-chaining an AUX port to a COM port, an 8-pin-to-8-pin cable  
(Model 3160) or 25-pin-to-8-pin cable (Model 3164 or 3165) is required. The  
configuration options Com Use and Aux Use must be set to Daisy. Whenever  
the cable is connected or disconnected, change the Com Use and Aux Use  
configuration options to the correct values.

COM Port Interface  
The COM port connects to a PC for front panel emulation, to an ASCII terminal or  
printer for alarms, to an async terminal, to a network device (e.g., a router) for  
SNMP or Telnet applications, to the LAN Adapter for SNMP or Telnet  
applications, or to another DSU/CSU’s AUX port for daisy chain connectivity.  
(The SNMP LAN Adapter includes the cable that is needed to attach it to the  
DSU/CSU.) The COM port connector is an 8-position keyed modular connector  
(Table D-6). The data signals on this port are referenced to a DTE interface.  
NOTE:  
For daisy-chaining an AUX port to a COM port, a 25-pin-to-8-pin cable is  
required and the appropriate configuration options (Com Use and Aux Use)  
must be set to Daisy. Whenever the cable is connected or disconnected, you  
should change the Daisy selection to ensure that the correct parameters  
have been negotiated for the link layer.

SNMP MIB Objects  
MIB II (RFC 1213)  
The objects defined by MIB II are organized into 10 different groups. The  
DSU/CSU implements only those groups where the semantics of the group are  
applicable to the implementation of a DSU/CSU. The MIB II object groups  
supported or not supported by the 3100 Series devices are as follows:  
System  
Group  
Supported.  
Interface  
Group  
Supported for the network interface, the DTE Drop/Insert  
(DSX-1) interface, the synchronous data ports, the COM port,  
the AUX port, and the MODEM port. Interface statistics  
(counters) apply to any port (COM, AUX, or MODEM),  
whichever is defined as the SNMP management link.  
Address  
Translation  
Group  
Not supported since this group is not supported in MIB II.  
IP Group  
Supported.  
ICMP Group Supported.  
TCP Group  
UDP Group  
EGP Group  
Supported.  
Supported.  
Not supported since the EGP protocol is not supported by the  
DSU/CSU.  
Transmissio Supported on the T1 interfaces using the DS1/E1 MIB.  
n Group  
Supported on the synchronous data ports using the  
RS-232-like MIB. Supported on the COM, AUX, and MODEM  
ports using the RS-232-like MIB.  
SNMP Group Supported.  
System Group, MIB II  
The System Group objects are fully supported by the DSU/CSU. The following  
sections provide clarification for objects contained in the System Group where it  
is not otherwise clear how the object definition in MIB II is related to the  
DSU/CSU. Objects not mentioned are supported as stated in the MIB.  
System Group – “sysDescr” Object (system 1)  
This object provides the full name and version identification for the system  
hardware and software. This object displays the following string:  
[Company Name] T1 DSU/CSU; model xxxx-xx-xxx; S/W Release: yy.yy.yy; H/W  
CCA1: zzzz-zzz; H/W CCA2: zzzz-zzz; Serial number: ssssssss.  
Where:  
xxxx-xx-xxx represents the full model number of the unit.  
yy.yy.yy represents the software revision number of the unit.  
zzzz-zzz represents the hardware revision number of the unit.  
ssssssss represents the serial number of the unit.

SNMP MIB Objects  
Interface Group, MIB II  
The Interfaces Group consists of an object indicating the number of interfaces  
supported by the unit and an interface table containing an entry for each  
interface. The DSU/CSU provides an entry in the interface table for the network  
interface, the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface, each of the synchronous data  
ports (1, 2, or 4 depending on the model), the COM port, the AUX port, and the  
MODEM port, if they apply. The following sections provide clarification for objects  
contained in the Interface Group where it is not clear how the object definition in  
MIB II is related to the DSU/CSU.  
Interface Group – “ifNumber” Object (interfaces 1)  
This variable contains the maximum number of MIB II supported interfaces  
possible across the 31xx Series product line (9). This is different from the MIB  
description, which is defined as the number of interfaces on the particular device.  
This change allows the use of the same ifIndexes across all 31xx Series models.  
Interface Group – “ifIndex” Object (ifEntry 1)  
This object provides the index into the ifTable and typically into tables in other  
MIBs also. The values of the ifIndex object do not vary between models even  
though not all indexes are supported for a particular model. When an  
unsupported index is accessed, “noSuchName” is returned.  
The following are the values of the ifIndexes for all DSU/CSU models:

(where n is 1 to 4).  
Interface Group – “ifType” Object (ifEntry 3)  
This object identifies the type of the interface based on the physical/link  
protocol(s) immediately below the network layer. Only the following values are  
supported by the DSU/CSU:  
H
H
ds1 – Used for the network and DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interfaces.  
propPointToPointSerial(22) – Used for the synchronous data ports. Used for  
the MODEM or COM port when the port is not configured as the SNMP  
management interface.  
H
H
ppp(23) – Used for the MODEM, AUX, or COM port when the port is  
configured for PPP.  
slip(28) – Used for the MODEM or COM port when the port is configured for  
SLIP.  
Interface Group – “ifMtu” Object (ifEntry 4)  
This object identifies the largest datagram that can be sent or received on the  
interface. It is applicable only to the interface configured as the SNMP  
management link. This object is zero for all other interfaces.

The currently configured data rate for the port when the port is  
allocated to one of the T1 interfaces. If the port is not allocated  
the data rate is defined as zero.  
Interface Group – “ifAdminStatus” Object (ifEntry 7)  
This object specifies the desired state (configuration) of the interface. This object  
is supported only for the COM and MODEM ports. It provides the ability to switch  
between using the port for SNMP or ASCII operations (dial-out, front panel  
emulation). The value of this object will not affect the state of any of the interfaces  
on the DSU/CSU other than the COM or MODEM port. Only the following values  
are supported by the DSU/CSU:  
H
H
up(1) – The SNMP management link is active on the COM or MODEM port.  
testing(3) – The SNMP management link is inactive on the COM or MODEM  
port. These ports can be used for proprietary ASCII functions.

When configured as an SNMP management link, up and down  
are based on the current state of the link layer protocol.  
Otherwise, the interface is always up(1).  
The interface is never in the testing(3) state.  
When configured as an SNMP management link, up and down  
are based on the current state of the link layer protocol.  
Otherwise, the interface is always down(2).  
The interface is never in the testing(3) state.  
MODEM Port: When configured as an SNMP management link, up and down  
are based on the current state of the link layer protocol.  
Otherwise, the interface is always up(1) when the modem is  
connected and 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 or another data port as a backup, and both CTS and  
DSR are ON.  
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.

SNMP MIB Objects  
IP Group, MIB II  
The IP Group objects are supported by the DSU/CSU for all data paths which  
currently are configured to carry IP data to or from the DSU/CSU, including the  
MODEM, COM, AUX, carrier SNMP bus, EDL, and FDL. All of the objects in the  
IP Group other than the IP Address Translation table are fully supported. The IP  
Address Translation table (ipNetToMediaTable) does not apply to the DSU/CSU  
and will be empty (i.e., have zero entries). The following sections provide  
clarification for objects contained in the IP Group when it is not clear how the  
object definition in MIB II is related to the DSU/CSU.  
IP Group – “ipForwarding” Object (ip 1)  
This object specifies whether the unit is acting as an IP gateway in respect to the  
forwarding of a datagram received by, but not addressed to, this unit. Only the  
following value is supported by the DSU/CSU.  
H
forwarding(1) – The unit is acting as a gateway.  
IP Group – “ipAddrTable” Object (ip 20)  
The address table is supported by the DSU/CSU.  
IP Group – “ipAdEntAddr” Object (ipAddrEntry 1)  
The ipAdEntAddr object is an IP address supported by the device and serves as  
the index to the address table. Since indexes for tables must be unique, only one  
ifIndex may be displayed for each IP address supported by the device. If you  
have configured the same IP address for multiple interfaces or for default IP  
addresses, you will not see all interfaces that support a particular IP address  
upon display of the ipAddrTable.  
IP Group – “ipAdEntIfIndex” Object (ipAddrEntry 2)  
For some address table entries, the ipAdEntIfIndex object may have a value  
greater than ifNumber. In these cases, the ipAdEntIfIndex refers to a proprietary  
interface which is not currently implemented by the interface group of MIB II.

SNMP MIB Objects  
IP Group – “ipRouteTable” Object (ip 21)  
The routing table used by the DSU/CSU is supported as a read/write table.  
Entries in this table may be added, deleted, or changed. You should exercise  
great caution when adding or modifying routes in the ipRoutingTable. In general,  
it should not be necessary to add or modify routes in the DSU/CSU. In those  
cases where it is deemed necessary, the routes should only be added to the  
connected device (i.e., the device closest to the destination). Internal routing  
mechanisms will propagate the route to the other devices.  
An existing route may be effectively deleted by setting the ipRouteType object to  
“invalid” for the entry to be deleted. An existing route may be modified by  
changing fields in the desired entry (indexed by ipRouteDest) of the routing table.  
A new route may be added by specifying values for a table entry for which the  
index (“ipRouteDest”) does not already exist.  
To add a route using an SNMP set, you must specify a group of minimal objects.  
These variable bindings must be contained in a single Protocol Data Unit (PDU).  
The objects are described in more detail in the following sections. The minimal  
set consists of:  
H
H
ipRouteDest  
ipRouteIfIndex  
The following objects are defaulted if not specified in the set PDU used to add a  
route.  
H
H
ipRouteMetric1 – Defaulted to 1 hop.  
ipRouteMetric2 – Defaulted to current slot for carrier devices and –1 for  
standalone devices.  
H
H
ipRouteType – Defaulted to indirect.  
ipRouteMask – Defaulted as specified in the MIB description.  
The following objects are unused in the DSU/CSU and setting them will have no  
effect on the operation of the IP implementation.  
H
H
ipRouteMetric3, ipRouteMetric4, ipRouteMetric5 – Defaulted to –1 as  
specified in the MIB.  
ipRouteNextHop – Defaulted to 0.0.0.0.  
The following read-only objects must not be specified in the set PDU used to add  
a route.  
H
H
H
ipRouteProto – Set to netmgmt(3) by software.  
ipRouteAge – Defaulted to 999.  
ipRouteInfo – Set to OBJECT IDENTIFIER {0, 0} since it is unused.

SNMP MIB Objects  
IP Group – “ipRouteDest” Object (ipRouteEntry 1)  
The ipRouteDest object serves as the index to the routing table. Since indexes for  
tables must be unique, only one route per destination may appear in the table. To  
ensure that no duplicate destinations appear in the routing table, the ipRouteDest  
object of the ipRouteTable will be treated as described in RFC 1354 (IP  
Forwarding Table MIB):  
“The destination IP address of this route. An entry with a value of 0.0.0.0 is  
considered a default route. This object may not take a Multicast (Class D)  
address value. Any assignment (implicit or otherwise) of an instance of this object  
to a value x must be rejected if the bitwise logical–AND of x with the value of the  
corresponding instance of the ipForwardMask object is not equal to x.”  
IP Group – “ipRouteIfIndex” Object (ipRouteEntry 1)  
When the routing table is displayed, the ipRouteIfIndex object for some entries  
may have a value greater than ifNumber. In these cases, the ipRouteIfIndex  
refers to a proprietary interface which is not currently implemented by the  
interface group of MIB II. Route entries with an unrecognized ipRouteIfIndex  
value should not be deleted.  
When setting this object via SNMP, the ipRouteIfIndex value can only assume an  
appropriate value of ifIndex defined for the particular device type.  
IP Group – “ipRouteMetric2” Object (ipRouteEntry 4)  
The following values are displayed for the ipRouteMetric2 object. For a carrier  
device designated as the IP Bus Master, ipRouteMetric2 is used to designate the  
slot number of the next hop associated with this route if the destination is not  
connected to the device. For carrier devices not designated as the IP Bus Master  
or IP Bus Master devices in which the destination is connected to the device,  
ipRouteMetric2 contains the slot number (0–15) of the carrier device. For  
standalone devices, ipRouteMetric2 is not used and contains –1.  
When adding a route to the routing table using SNMP, do not specify a value for  
ipRouteMetric2.  
IP Group – “ipRouteProto” Object (ipRouteEntry 9)  
This object is a read-only object and may have the following values in the  
DSU/CSU.  
H
H

SNMP MIB Objects  
IP Group – “ipRouteAge” Object (ipRouteEntry 10)  
This object is implemented as a read-only object in the DSU/CSU. In the  
DSU/CSU, it reflects the value of the route’s time-to-live (in seconds). When  
displays, a value of 999 represents a route that is retained permanently. For  
temporary routes, the ipRouteAge object decrements over time. All routes added  
via an SNMP set of the ipRouteTable are considered permanent routes. These  
routes do not age, but will remain unless deleted via SNMP.  
ICMP Group, MIB II  
The ICMP Group objects are fully supported by the DSU/CSU.  
TCP Group, MIB II  
The TCP Group objects are fully supported by the DSU/CSU, with the exception  
of the tcpConnState object, which will be read-only.  
UDP Group, MIB II  
The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Group objects are fully supported by the  
DSU/CSU.  
Transmission Group, MIB II  
Objects in the transmission group are supported on the network and DTE  
Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interfaces, the COM port, the MODEM port, the AUX port,  
and the synchronous data ports. The objects in the transmission group are not  
defined within MIB II, but rather through other Internet standard MIB definitions.  
The following two transmission group objects are supported by the DSU/CSU.  
H
H
ds1 (transmission 18) – The transmission object supported on the T1  
interfaces.  
rs232 (transmission 33) – The transmission object supported on the

All four tables are fully supported for the network interface. Since statistics are not  
kept for the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface, only the DS1 Configuration table  
is fully supported. The “statistic” objects for the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface  
entry in the DS1 Current, DS1 Interval, and DS1 Total tables are always zero  
(null). The following sections provide clarification for objects contained in the Near  
End Group when it is not clear how the object definition in the DS1/E1 MIB is  
related to the DSU/CSU.

SNMP MIB Objects  
DS1 Fractional Group, DS1/E1 MIB  
The DS1 Fractional Group consists of the DS1 fractional table. This table  
(dsx1FracTable) is fully supported by the DSU/CSU and allows channel (time  
slots) to be mapped between the T1 interfaces 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 DSU/CSU will validate all channel configurations before applying  
them.  
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 (DSX-1) interface to time  
slots on the network interface. For mapping time slots between the network and  
DTE T1 interfaces, the following convention is used: Time slots on the T1  
interface that are mapped to another T1 interface (i.e., not a data port) are  
connected in ascending order. For example, if the fractional table for the network  
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 to D10, N3 to D11 and N5 to D15.  
RS-232-like MIB (RFC 1317)  
The “rs232” object defined by RFC 1317 is supported for all of the synchronous

synchronous data ports. The Input Signal and Output Signal tables are not  
supported for the MODEM, AUX, 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.

This object contains the port’s input speed in bits per second. For the DSU/CSU,  
the rs232PortInSpeed object has the same value as the rs232PortOutSpeed  
object. The input speed of a synchronous data port is determined by the channel  
configuration and cannot be changed through this object. Thus, for the  
synchronous data ports, this object is read-only. The input speed of the MODEM,  
AUX, or COM port is the currently configured speed. Setting of this value for the  
MODEM, AUX, or COM port causes the configured port speed to be changed.  
General Port Table – “rs232PortOutSpeed” Object (rs232PortEntry 6)  
This object contains the port’s output speed in bits per second. For the  
DSU/CSU, the rs232PortInSpeed object has the same value as the  
rs232PortOutSpeed object. The input speed of a synchronous data port is  
determined by the channel configuration and cannot be changed through this  
object. Thus, for the synchronous data ports, this object is read-only. The input  
speed of the MODEM, AUX, or COM port is the currently configured speed.  
Setting of this value for the MODEM, AUX, or COM port causes the configured  
port speed to be changed.

IP Network Addressing Scenarios  
F
Overview  
This appendix describes a means of configuring 31xx Series devices in an  
Internet Protocol (IP) network to provide SNMP or Telnet connectivity. Since there  
are many possible network addressing schemes, this appendix describes an  
addressing scheme for typical customer network management system (NMS)  
scenarios. This appendix is not intended to be an IP addressing or routing  
tutorial, and a basic understanding of IP and 31xx Series devices is assumed.  
The following notes apply to these scenarios:  
H
H
Connections to remote devices may be via EDL (for 2-port and 4-port  
DSU/CSUs) or FDL; however, the FDL is only available on full T1 links (not  
fractional T1s). Check with the service provider to be sure that the FDL is  
end-to-end (i.e., not terminated at an intermediate point within the network).  
Interconnected 31xx Series devices automatically pass routing information  
between them; however, a static route to the subnet(s) must be set in the  
routing table of the NMS host. This route uses the 31xx Series device  
connected to the LAN (via the LAN Adapter), or the NMS (via a direct PPP or  
SLIP connection) as a gateway to the subnet(s). In all instances, the  
addressing scheme presented works for both the LAN and the direct  
connections.  
H
H
H
Although routing table entries are maintained automatically by 31xx Series  
devices, without the need for user configuration, only a maximum of 100  
routes is supported for a given device.  
The choice of a host address within a given subnet is completely arbitrary.  
Choose any legal host address for a given subnet, without regard to the local  
or remote devices.  
Although the default route (to the NMS) is configurable for all devices, only  
devices that have a direct external connection to an NMS (via the COM or  
AUX ports) need a default route set. In the following examples, the default  
port (COM or AUX) is set in the device connected to the LAN Adapter.

IP Network Addressing Scenarios  
Scenario 1  
The first scenario (Figure F-1) is a series of standalone 31xx Series devices daisy  
chained together, with remotes connected via the FDL. In this scenario, all 31xx  
Series devices are on the same subnet (135.18.1.0). The subnet mask for each  
device is FF.FF.FF.00. A static route is set in the NMS host to subnet 135.18.1.0.

IP Network Addressing Scenarios  
Scenario 2  
The second scenario (Figure F-2) is a carrier communicating with standalone  
remotes. This scenario is similar to the previous one, treating the carrier devices  
as the daisy-chained devices. All devices are still on the same subnet, and the  
subnet mask is FF.FF.FF.00. A static route still must be set in the NMS host to  
subnet 135.18.2.0.

IP Network Addressing Scenarios  
Scenario 3  
This third scenario (Figure F-3) shows a local carrier connected to remote  
carriers that have remote standalones. Each carrier must be on a separate  
subnet but, as in the previous scenario, the carrier-remote combination can share  
a common subnet. Once again, the subnet mask is FF.FF.FF.00 for all devices. A  
static route must be set up in the NMS host for each subnet: 135.18.4.0,  
135.18.6.0, 135.18.20.0.

IP Network Addressing Scenarios  
Scenario 4  
An alternative addressing scheme, for the network is shown in Figure F-4. This  
example uses a subnet mask of FF.FF.00.00 for the COM port in the central-site  
carrier (only), with all of the remaining subnet masks set to FF.FF.FF.00. The  
advantage to this scheme is that only one route must be added to the NMS host  
(135.18.0.0).

IP Network Addressing Scenarios  
Scenario 5  
Figure F-5 illustrates multiple COM ports on the same carrier connected to  
different NMSs. This might be used in service-provider applications, where some  
of the carrier’s circuit cards (and their remotes) are managed by one NMS and  
other cards are managed by a different NMS. In this example, each card and  
remote is on a separate subnet. Also, note that each LAN Adapter connection is  
on a different subnet. The subnet mask is FF.FF.FF.00. The NMS hosts would  
only need routes added for the subnets that they are to manage.

Front Panel Emulation  
G
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.

Starting Front Panel Emulation  
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 modem attached  
to the PC must support AT commands for the Front Panel Emulation software to  
successfully place the call.  
" Procedure  
To start front panel emulation:  
1. From the PC, open Program Manager from Windows.  
2. Double click on the Front Panel icon that appears after the Front Panel  
Emulation program is installed on the PC. The Front Panel window opens.  
3. Double click on the Front Panel icon that appears in the Front Panel window.  
The Front Panel Emulation screen appears.  
4. Enter the Com Port and Speed from the drop-down selection list boxes.  
The Com Port field needs to contain the actual communications port name as  
recorded in the Windows information file (INI).  
The Speed field needs to contain one of the following communications  
speeds: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, or 38400 and should match  
the DSU/CSU’s COM port configuration.  
5. Choose either a Local (for near-end DSU/CSU) or Remote (for far-end  
DSU/CSU) destination.

Asynchronous Terminal Operation  
H
Overview  
You can configure and manage the DSU/CSU from an asynchronous (async)  
terminal that is configured for 9.6 kbps, 8 characters, no parity, and 1 stop bit.  
This appendix provides operational examples to help you become familiar with  
the use of the async terminal for DSU/CSU control.  
By convention throughout this appendix, examples of screens are shown as they  
appear with the standalone 4-port DSU/CSU.  
Before Using the Asynchronous Terminal  
You can connect the async terminal directly to the COM port of the DSU/CSU, or  
you can establish a remote connection using dial-in (via the integral modem) or  
Telnet access.  
Before using the async terminal, you may use the DSU/CSU’s front panel to set  
certain configuration options for async terminal operation. Use the Configuration  
(Cnfig) branch of the front panel menu and edit the User Interface (User)  
To connect the async terminal to the DSU/CSU using Telnet access, refer to  
If the DSU/CSU is misconfigured, leaving it in a state that does not support async  
terminal operation, the recovery procedure consists of power cycling the  
DSU/CSU, waiting for the completion of the power-up self-test, and then pressing  
the async terminal’s Return key five times in succession. (Begin pressing the  
Return key within two seconds after the completion of power-up self-test, and do  
not wait longer than one second between each successive key press.) This  
procedure allows you to use the System Paused screen to reset the COM port  
configuration options or to reload all factory default configuration options.

Asynchronous Terminal Operation  
Initiating an Asynchronous Terminal Session  
Once the appropriate configuration option changes have been made and access  
is established, the Main Menu screen appears (unless a password is required).  
The carrier-mounted DSU/CSU shows the 3000 Series carrier slot number under  
the Customer ID. The slot number field (e.g., Slot: 1) is changed to access  
specific DSU/CSUs in the carrier. For Telnet or SNMP access to the carrier,  
specify the IP address of the applicable communication port (see Appendix F, IP  
NOTE:  
By convention throughout this appendix, examples of screens are shown as  
they appear with the standalone DSU/CSU.  
If a password is required, the Login screen displays the prompt for password

H
There are three types of async terminal screens.  
Menu screens list selections available through the menu system.  
Input screens allow you to edit or change information on a screen using  
H
Display screens show the results from a data collection operation or they  
display device-specific information.  
The async terminal supports character matching for entering values in fields. For  
example, if the values for a field can be DTE, NET, or PORT and you enter a D  
and press Return (Enter), then the field automatically populates with the value  
DTE.  
Once an operation is initiated, status messages appear in the last row of the  
screen. These include Please Wait(when a command takes longer than five  
seconds) and Command Complete.
