Introduction  
1
Overview  
The ACCULINKR 3166 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.  
The Model 3166 is designed to fit into the COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier. For  
more information about the carrier, refer to 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 an optional liquid crystal display  
(LCD) to permit quick and easy operation, and elimination of complicated  
hardware strapping.

Introduction  
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 optional Shared Diagnostic Control Panel (SDCP).  
The functionality of the SDCP is available by clicking on the function keys with the  
mouse rather than by pressing keys on the SDCP.  
Asynchronous Terminal Interface (ATI) Support  
The DSU/CSU can be configured and managed from an asynchronous terminal.  
The asynchronous 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 SDCP, but you do not have the  
limitation of the 2-line, 16-character LCD.  
Telnet Access  
Remote asynchronous 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.  
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, LAN adapter, or network device can be directly connected  
to the communications (COM) port.  
The SNMP management system can communicate to the DSU/CSU remotely  
through the Facility Data Link (FDL) or the synchronous data port’s Embedded  
Data Link (EDL).

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. 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.

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 a 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.

Selecting the Link Layer Protocol  
Two link layer protocols, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and Serial Line Internet  
Protocol (SLIP), are supported for connection to an external SNMP manager,  
Telnet device, or network device (e.g., a router). PPP can be used for  
synchronous or asynchronous operation. SLIP can be used for asynchronous  
operation only.  
The Model 3166 DSU/CSU implementation of PPP supports the following:  
H
H
H
Full negotiation of PPP’s Link Control Protocol (LCP).  
Active negotiation of LCP when the connection is established.  
Maximum Request Unit (MRU) sizes up to 1500 bytes, but the DSU/CSU will  
attempt to negotiate down to 500 bytes.  
H
H
The DSU/CSU provides a unique LCP magic number derived from the unit  
serial number and the elapsed time.  
Full negotiation of escape characters.  
The Model 3166 DSU/CSU implementation of PPP does not support Link Quality  
Reports (LQR), compression, encryption, Password Authentication Protocol  
(PAP) or Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP).  
The Model 3166 DSU/CSU implementation of SLIP supports a fixed MRU size of  
1006 bytes.  
Before selecting the protocol, you must first select the port to be used as the  
assumes that the COM port is being used as the communications link.

Configuring SNMP Traps  
A trap is an unsolicited message that is 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.

SDCP Operation  
Allocating Data Ports  
By using the configuration options, assign a specific port to DS0 channels on the  
network 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 when the initial  
DS0 channel is selected.  
H
H
ACAMI (Alternate Channel Alternate Mark 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.

channel).

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 interface, 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.

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  
Event).  
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.  
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.

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 event. See Table 4-4 for enterprise-specific traps. These  
traps are set by the Entp Trap configuration option.  
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  
these traps can be generated are specified by the Trap I/F configuration

DialOut: Disab  
Next Enab Disab Prev  
Alarm and Trap Dial Out. Controls whether generated alarm or trap messages initiate a  
call if the external communication port device connection has not already been  
established. When enabled, a call is placed to the phone number contained in the alarm  
directory (directory A). If the call cannot be completed and the retry option is enabled,  
the alarm or trap message is held until the call is completed or the maximum (five) retry  
count has been exceeded. If more than one alarm message is received while waiting for  
a call retry, only the highest priority alarm message received is held; all previous  
messages are discarded. When the COM port is configured as the SNMP management  
link, up to 10 SNMP trap messages can be queued at the interface.  
Enab – Enables automatic call initiation (dial out) if an alarm or trap message needs to  
be sent.  
Disab – Disables automatic call initiation. Trap messages sent to the external  
communication port device are queued (held) if a carrier external communication port  
device connection has not been previously established. Alarm messages are not  
queued.  
Call Retry: Disab  
Next Enab Disab Prev  
Call Retry on Alarm or Trap. Determines whether a call that cannot complete (busy, no  
answer, etc.) is retried. This affects calls that are initiated in attempting to send an alarm  
or trap message to the carrier external communication port device. If call retry is  
specified, the DSU/CSU attempts to complete the call after a configurable delay.  
Enab – Enables call retry. If enabled the call is retried up to a maximum of five times per  
alarm or trap message. A delay as specified by the dial-out delay time is imposed  
between call attempts. If an alternate dial-out directory is specified, both the alarm  
directory as well as the alternate directory are retried up to five times.  
Disab – Disables call retry. If a call setup cannot be completed it is not retried.

Alternate Dial-Out Directory for Alarm or Trap. Specifies whether a call that cannot be  
completed (busy, no answer, etc.) is retried using an alternate phone number. This  
affects calls that are initiated in an attempt to send an alarm or trap message to the  
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 five times before a call attempt to the alternate number is  
tried. If the call does not complete at the alternate number, it is also retried up to the  
five-retry maximum. 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.  
None – Specifies that alternate alarm dial-out is not performed if a call cannot be  
completed to the telephone number contained in the alarm directory.  
1–5 – Specifies the call directory that contains the phone number to call if a call cannot  
be completed to the telephone number contained in the alarm directory.

causing it is corrected. An Alarm Cut-Off issued from the SDCP (or PC Emulation  
program) for a particular carrier-mounted DSU/CSU also deactivates the alarm. The  
carrier-mounted DSU/CSU does not reactivate the alarm relay until all alarm conditions  
for the unit are cleared.  
The following alarm conditions activate the alarm relay if this configuration option is  
enabled:  
H Excessive Error Rate (EER) detected at the network interface.  
H Continuous Loss of Signal (LOS) or Out of Frame (OOF) at the network interface.  
H Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) received at the network interface.

Overview  
This appendix describes the Management Information Base (MIB) objects that  
are supported by the DSU/CSU and provides a correlation between front panel  
commands and MIB objects (Table E-1).  
The DSU/CSU supports the following MIBs:  
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) internets and provides general  
information about the DSU/CSU.  
H
supports synchronous data port and COM port on the DSU/CSU.  
additional objects for control of generic interfaces in MIB II. It supports control  
of tests on synchronous data interface that are not supported by other MIBs.

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 synchronous data  
port, and the COM port. Interface statistics (counters) apply to  
the port defined as the SNMP management link.  
Address  
Translation  
Group  
Not supported since this group is not supported in MIB II.  
IP Group  
Supported.  
Supported.  
Supported.  
Supported.  
ICMP Group  
TCP Group  
UDP Group  
EGP Group  
Not supported since the EGP protocol is not supported by the  
DSU/CSU.  
Transmission Supported on the synchronous data port using the RS-232-like  
Group MIB. Supported on the COM port 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  
System Group – “sysObjectID” Object (system 2)  
This object provides the authoritative identification of the network management  
subsystem contained in the unit.  
This object displays the following object identifier:  
3166  
[Company OID].1.14.2.2.8  
System group –”sysContact” Object (system 4)  
This object provides a textual identification of the contact person for this  
managed node.  
System Group – “sysName” Object (system 5)  
This object provides an administratively-assigned name for this managed node.  
System Group – “sysLocation” Object (system 6)  
This object provides the physical location of this node.  
System Group – “sysServices” Object (system 7)  
This object provides a value which indicates the set of services that are  
potentially offered by the DSU/CSU. Only the following values are supported.  
H
H
physical(1) – Layer 1 functionality for all interfaces.  
datalink/subnetwork(2) – Layer 2 functionality (SLIP, PPP) for the COM, AUX,  
and MODEM ports.  
H
H
internet(4) – Layer 3 functionality (IP) for all management links.  
end-to-end(8) – Layer 4 functionality (UDP) for all management links.  
Therefore, set this object to 15 (the sum of 1 + 2 + 4 + 8).  
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 synchronous data port, and the COM port. 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.

SNMP MIB Objects  
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 the Model 3166 DSU/CSU:  
H
H
H
1 – Net T1  
3 – COM port  
6 – DCE port 1  
Interface Group – “ifDescr” Object (ifEntry 2)  
This object provides information about the interface. Each interface displays a  
text string as shown below:  
Network T1:  
COM:  
Network T1.[Company Name] T1 DSU/CSU, Hardware  
Version:[CCA number for the CSU board]”.  
COM port.[Company Name] T1 DSU/CSU, Hardware  
Version:[CCA number for the CSU board for the standalone,  
or the CCA number for the DSU board for the carrier]”.  
Data Port:  
Data Port 1.[Company Name] T1 DSU/CSU, Hardware  
Version:[CCA number for the DSU board]”  
(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 interface.  
propPointToPointSerial(22) – Used for the synchronous data port. Used for  
the COM port when the port is not configured as the SNMP management  
interface.  
H
H
ppp(23) – Used for the COM port when the port is configured for PPP.  
slip(28) – Used for the 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.

SNMP MIB Objects  
Interface Group – “ifSpeed” Object (ifEntry 5)  
This object provides the interface’s current bandwidth in bits per second. The  
value of this object for each interface is specified as follows:  
T1 Interfaces: 1,544,000 bps.  
COM:  
The currently configured data rate for the port.  
Data Port:  
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 port. 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 port. Only the following values are supported by the  
DSU/CSU:  
H
H
up(1) – The SNMP management link is active on the COM port.  
testing(3) – The SNMP management link is inactive on the COM port. These  
ports can be used for proprietary ASCII functions.  
Interface Group – “ifOperStatus” Object (ifEntry 8)  
This object specifies the current operational state of the interface. The value of  
this object for each interface is defined as follows:  
Network T1:  
The interface is up(1) when no alarm conditions exist.  
The interface is down(2) when an alarm condition is active.  
The interface is testing(3) when a test is active on the interface.  
COM 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).  
The interface is never in the testing(3) state.  
Data Port:  
The interface is up(1) when the port is assigned to a T1  
interface, 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.  
Interface Group – “ifLastChange” Object (ifEntry 9)  
This object contains the value of “sysUpTime” at the time the interface entered its  
current operational state.

SNMP MIB Objects  
Interface Group – Input Counters (objects ifEntry 10 to ifEntry 15)  
These objects collect statistics on the data received by the COM port when it is  
configured as an SNMP management link. For an interface that is not configured  
as an 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:

ifInUnknownProtos (ifEntry 15)  
Interface Group – Output Counters (objects ifEntry 16 to ifEntry 21)  
These objects collect statistics on the data received by the COM port when it is  
configured as an SNMP management link. For an interface that is not configured  
as an SNMP management link, these statistics are not provided and an error  
status is returned if access is attempted. The objects used to collect output  
statistics are listed below:

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  
COM, carrier SNMP bus, 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.

SNMP MIB Objects  
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.  
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

ipRouteInfo – Set to OBJECT IDENTIFIER {0, 0} since it is unused.  
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.

SNMP MIB Objects  
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
other(1) – Temporary route added by IP.  
local(2) – Route added or modified as a result of user configuration via the  
front panel.  
H
H
netmgmt(3) – Route added or modified by means of an SNMP set.  
icmp(4) – Route added or modified by Internet Control Management Protocol  
(ICMP).  
H
rip(8) – Route added or modified by Routing Information Protocol (RIP) (or  
similar proprietary protocol).  
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.

IP Networking Address Scenario  
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
31xx devices besides the Model 3166 include:  
— Model 3160 (2-port standalone)  
— Model 3161 (carrier-mounted card used with auxiliary backplane)  
— Model 3162 (2-port standalone)  
— Model 3164 (4-port standalone)  
— Model 3165 (1-port standalone)  
H
H
Connections to remote devices may be via EDL (for the Model 3166 and  
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
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.

IP Networking Address Scenario  
H
H
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.  
Scenario 1  
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.

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.

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).

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 3166 DSU/CSU offers functionality through Front Panel Emulation software  
that is similar to that provided by the SDCP or the front panel of standalone 31xx  
DSU/CSUs. The 3166 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 31xx 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.

Front Panel Emulation  
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, or 19200 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 Interface  
Operation  
H
Overview  
You can configure and manage the 3166 DSU/CSU from an asynchronous  
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 Asynchronous Terminal Interface (ATI) for DSU/CSU control.  
Before Using the ATI  
You can connect an asynchronous 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 ATI, you may use the SDCP to set certain configuration options  
for ATI operation. Use the Configuration (Cnfig) branch of the SDCP menu and  
edit the User Interface (User) configuration options for ATI operation. Refer to  
To connect the ATI to the DSU/CSU using Telnet access, refer to Configuring the  
Resetting the ATI  
If the DSU/CSU is misconfigured, leaving it in a state that does not support  
asynchronous 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 asynchronous terminal’s Enter key five times in succession.  
(Begin pressing the Enter 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 Interface Operation  
Initiating an ATI 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 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 Network  
If a password is required, the Login screen displays the prompt for password  
To move between the Screen area and the Screen Function Keys area  
From the Screen area, you may select the Status, Test, Configuration, or  
Control branches.  
Ending an ATI Session  
To end the ATI session from any screen, press Ctrl-a to move from the Screen  
area to the Screen Function Keys area (Figure H-1), and then select Exit.

Using ATI Screens  
H
H
H
There are three types of ATI screens.  
Menu screens list selections available through the menu system.  
Input screens allow you to edit or change information on a screen using  
screen function keys (Table H-1) or keyboard keys (Table H-2).  
H
Display screens show the results from a data collection operation or they  
display device-specific information.  
The ATI supports character matching for entering values in fields. For example, if  
the values for a field can be NET or PORT and you enter a ‘P’ and press Return  
(Enter), then the value PORT automatically appears in the field.  
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.
