Overview  
Features  
The E1 DSU/CSU acts as an interface between the E1  
digital network (as specified in CCITT standards G.703  
and G.704) and the customer premises equipment,  
converting signals received from the DTE (Data Terminal  
Equipment) to signals that can be transmitted over E1  
lines. Typical applications include Local Area Network  
(LAN)/Wide Area Network (WAN) interconnection,  
shared access to network-based services, and fractional E1  
network applications.  
The E1 DSU/CSU optimizes network performance  
with a wide range of features such as the following:  
Software configuration menu displayed via a liquid  
crystal display (LCD) to permit quick and easy  
operation and elimination of complicated hardware  
strapping.  
Local or remote configuration and operation  
flexibility.  
The E1 DSU/CSU series of products consists of a  
Model 3172 DSU/CSU (2-port) and a Model 3174  
DSU/CSU (4-port). Differences between these models are  
discussed where applicable throughout this guide.  
Several loopback capabilities and test pattern  
generators.  
DTE drop/insert capability.  
Alarm message display/print capability  
.
Front panel emulation via Windows-based Front  
Panel Emulation software.  
Network management provided through  
industry-standard Simple Network Management  
Protocol (SNMP).

ACCULINK 317x E1 DSU/CSU  
The E1 DSU/CSU can be managed by any industry-  
standard SNMP manager. The company provides an  
SNMP application that runs on a Hewlett-Packard HP  
OpenView network management platform. For more  
information, refer to the ACCULINK 3100 Series Open  
DTE Drop/Insert Interface  
The DTE Drop/Insert interface is compatible with the  
signal format of CCITT Recommendation G.703 and the  
frame structure of CCITT Recommendation G.704. This  
interface allows DTEs/PBXs to share the E1 network with  
other high-speed equipment.  
Management Application for HP OpenView User  
s Guide.  
The E1 DSU/CSU supports the following MIBs:  
MIB II – Defines the general objects for use in  
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol  
(TCP/IP) internets and provides general  
information about the E1 DSU/CSU. MIB II is  
backward-compatible with MIB I.  
Alarm Message Capability  
The E1 DSU/CSU can be attached, either locally or  
remotely, to an ASCII terminal or printer to display or  
print alarm messages. The communications (COM) port  
can be used as the destination for Alarm Set and Alarm  
Clear messages. This enables an ASCII terminal or printer  
to monitor the E1 DSU/CSU for alarm conditions. Alarms  
can also be displayed on a PC that is using a terminal  
emulation package.  
DS1/E1 MIB – Defines objects for managing E1  
interfaces and supports the network and DTE  
Drop/Insert interfaces on the E1 DSU/CSU.  
RS-232-like MIB – Defines objects for managing  
RS-232-type interfaces (e.g., RS-422, RS-423, etc.)  
and supports synchronous data ports (POR s 14)  
T
Front Panel Emulation  
and management communication ports (AUX and  
COM ports) on the E1 DSU/CSU.  
The E1 DSU/CSU offers functionality through Front  
Panel Emulation software that is similar to that provided  
by the E1 DSU/CSU front panel. The E1 DSU/CSU can  
either be locally or remotely attached to a 386 or higher  
personal computer (PC) that has at least four megabytes  
(MB) of random-access memory (RAM). (An external  
modem is required for remote attachment.) A copy of the  
E1 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 more information,  
refer to Appendix G, Front Panel Emulation.  
Generic-Interface Extension MIB – An extension to  
MIB II that defines additional objects for control of  
generic interfaces in MIB II. It supports control of  
tests on the E1 and synchronous data interfaces that  
are not supported by other MIBs.  
Enterprise MIB – Defines objects that are unique to  
Paradyne devices.  
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).  
SNMP Management Support  
The SNMP manager or network device can be directly  
connected to the communications (COM) port. An  
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 E1 DSU/CSU);  
and a Management Information Base (MIB) consisting of  
a database of managed objects.  
external LAN Adapter can be connected to either the  
COM port or the auxiliary (AUX) port to provide Ethernet  
connectivity. Also, the E1 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 E1 DSU/CSU remotely through the Facility Data Link  
(FDL) or the synchronous data port’s Embedded Data  
Link (EDL). FDL provides an in-band channel for  
performance and control signals on the network interface.  
Users of the external SNMP manager can issue “Get”  
and “Set” commands to an object in the SNMP database  
maintained by the E1 DSU/CSU.  
It uses the spare bit S in time-slot zero as defined in  
a4  
CCITT standard G.704. EDL provides the ability to detect  
and synchronize on a framing pattern, provides cyclic  
redundancy checking (CRC), and maintains near-end and  
far-end performance statistics.

Installation  
If the self-test fails, the Failed screen appears for  
five seconds. The Fail LED lights, and an  
eight-digit failure code (nnnnnnnn) is displayed  
for use by service personnel to determine the  
cause of the self-test failure. The E1 DSU/CSU  
continues to try to operate. If you are in doubt  
about the results of the self-test, use the Self-Test  
Health command to display the status of this test  
(see the Self-Test Health section in Chapter 4,  
Maintenance).  
Power-Up Self-Test  
After you connect the E1 DSU/CSU to a power source,  
the unit performs the power-up self-test to ensure that it is  
in good working order. The E1 DSU/CSU performs this  
test on itself upon power-up or after a device reset unless  
it has been disabled by the Self-Test configuration option  
(see Appendix C, Configuration Options).  
The 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.  
Self-Test:

The SNMP manager 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 E1  
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.

Setting the IP Address  
The IP address is the address used by the SNMP  
manager to access the device. For devices using PPP, the  
IP address can be negotiated if the network device (e.g.,  
router or SNMP manager) supports such negotiation. The  
IP address is composed of four fields with three digits per  
field (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).  
NOTE  
Steps 8 and 9 describe the  
process for entering an IP  
address. This process applies to  
any IP address.  
The IP address is set for the COM port or the AUX  
port (with LAN Adapter or daisy chain), depending on  
which one has been chosen as the SNMP communications  
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 principles to assign any value (between 000  
and 255 for each digit field) to either port.  
8. Press F2 (Edit) to edit the IP address. You have the  
option of using F3 (Clear) to reset the IP address  
to the factory default 000.000.000.000.

To allocate DS0 channels, begin by defining the logical  
channel configuration for the Network interface, and then  
the DTE Drop/Insert interface, and then any ports, if  
desired. See Figures 3-6 and 3-8 for examples of  
conceptual diagrams of channel configurations.  
Configuring DS0 Channels  
The E1 DSU/CSU provides channel configuration  
options that allow you to do the following:  
Display the DS0 assignments for the Network, DTE  
Drop/Insert, and data port interfaces.  
Blank configuration worksheets are provided at the  
back of Appendix C, Configuration Options. To complete  
the configuration worksheets for DS0 channel allocation:  
Allocate DS0 channels on the DTE Drop/Insert  
interface to the Network interface.  
1. Complete the Network E1 Interface and the DTE  
Drop/Insert Interface tables (unless the DTE  
Drop/Insert interface is disabled) as shown in the  
examples in Figures 3-7 and 3-9.  
Allocate DS0 channels on the Network or DTE  
Drop/Insert interface to particular data ports.  
Specify whether time-slot 16 (TS16) is reserved for  
signaling information.  
2. Using the worksheets shown in Figures 3-10

Operation  
The E1 DSU/CSU automatically falls back to the  
Selecting the Timing Source  
secondary clock when a failure of the selected primary  
clock is detected. If a secondary clock failure is detected,  
the E1 DSU/CSU falls back to its internal clock.  
The E1 DSU/CSU provides the ability to select a  
primary clock (timing) source that is used to synchronize  
all of the E1 and data port interfaces on the E1 DSU/CSU.  
The clock for each interface is at the appropriate rate for  
that interface (e.g., 2.048 Mbps for the E1 interfaces, the  
configured port rate for the data ports) and is independent  
of the primary clock rate. This means that the primary  
clock rate and the E1 DSU/CSU interface rates may be  
different.  
The clock source configuration options enable you to  
select either the Network E1 interface, a synchronous data  
port, the internal clock, the DTE Drop/Insert interface, or  
an external clock. If external clocking is selected, you  
must use the clock rate configuration option to specify the  
clock rate. Figure 3-12 shows some common clocking  
configurations. Two sample procedures for configuring  
timing are given in the following sections, Configuring for  
Network Timing and Configuring for External Timing. For  
more information on configuration options, refer to

An Out Of Frame has been detected on data port Prtn (where n is the port number: 1–2 for the  
3172, or 14 for the 3174). This condition only occurs if the synchronous data port’s Embedded  
Data Link (EDL) is enabled.  
The error rate of the received signal has exceeded the configured threshold for data port Prtn  
(where n is the port number: 1–2 for the 3172, or 1–4 for the 3174). This condition only occurs if  
the synchronous data port’s Embedded Data Link (EDL) is enabled. The condition is cleared when  
the error rate falls below the synchronous data port’s configured threshold value.  
PORT SNMP Down The SNMP management link is in a down state for PORT (where PORT is COM or AUX). This  
condition occurs if the PORT is configured for SNMP, and communication between the  
management system and the E1 DSU/CSU is not currently possible for this port. For the AUX port,  
this condition is detected only when a device reset or power-up occurs.

Network aggregate registers (NET) are status registers  
that collect performance data for the previous 24-hour  
period. Registers shown on the front panel LCD are listed  
in Table 4-3. Aggregate 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

Table 4-4  
Enterprise-Specific Trap Definitions  
A
trap is an unsolicited message that is sent from the  
E1 DSU/CSU to an SNMP manager when the device  
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 device, an IP address for  
each SNMP manager specified, and the type of traps to be  
sent from this device. For more information, refer to  
enterpriseSelfTestFail(2)  
A device hardware failure  
is detected at self-test.  
This trap is generated after  
device initialization.  
enterpriseDeviceFail(3)

software.  
Appendix C, Configuration Options and the Configuring  
,
SNMP Traps section in Chapter 3, Operation.  
enterpriseSecClockFail(4)  
The currently configured  
secondary clock source  
has failed.  
Trap types consist of the following:  
General traps – include warmStart and  
authenticationFailure. The device sends a  
warmStart trap after it has been reset to indicate  
that it has just reinitialized itself. The device sends  
an authenticationFailure trap when it has received  
an SNMP protocol message that has not been  
properly authenticated. These traps are set by the  
Gen Trap configuration option.

Local Loopback Tests  
The Local Loopback tests enable you to conduct circuit  
testing and fault isolation for the digital line. The  
supported local loopback tests are:  
deactivated in response to commands received over the  
network interface. The Network Interface configuration  
option NET LLB controls whether the E1 DSU/CSU  
responds to the commands transmitted on the network  
interface to initiate LLBs (see Appendix C, Configuration  
Options).  
Line Loopback (LLB)  
Payload Loopback (PLB)  
DTE Loopback (DLB)  
The data port configuration option NET DCLB  
controls whether the E1 DSU/CSU responds to inband  
V.54 commands to initiate DCLB for that port (see  
Appendix C, Configuration Options).  
Repeater Loopback (RLB)  
Data Channel Loopback (DCLB)

Data Port Channel Allocation Destination. Allows you to assign this port to DS0 channels on either the Network E1  
interface, the DTE Drop/Insert interface, or another port.  
NET – Assigns this port to DS0 channels on the Network E1 interface.  
DTE – Assigns this port to DS0 channels on the DTE Drop/Insert interface. If the DTE Drop/Insert interface is disabled,  
this selection is not displayed.  
Prtn – Assigns this port to another port, where n is the port number of all available ports except the port selected from the  
Channel Config screen. For example, if you select Prt1 from the Channel Config screen, Prt2, Prt3, and Prt4 appear for  
the 3174. Use this feature to designate a port as a backup port. You can attach an external backup device to Prtn and  
manually assign the selected port to the backup port (i.e., route data from the selected port to the backup port). When a  
port is assigned to another port, DSR is turned on. Selecting Prtn and Next takes you directly to the Port Rate  
configuration option, bypassing the Assign By configuration option. Only data ports with matching port base rates (i.e.,  
Nx56 or Nx64) are displayed. Also, EDL does not operate when a synchronous data port is assigned to another  
synchronous data port. Therefore, if EDL is enabled, it is ignored.  
NOTE: Changing this configuration option from one E1 interface to the other (NET or DTE) deallocates all DS0 channels  
allocated to the previous interface.  
Assign By: Block  
Next Block Chan Prev  
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 E1 interface.

rate configured for the port. The factory default for Nx64 is 384 kbps, and for Nx56 is 336 kbps.  
NOTE: This configuration option does not appear if the individual channel allocation method (Chan) is selected using the  
Assign By configuration option.  
NOTE: If time-slot 16 is reserved for signaling, the highest port rate (1984 or 1736) does not appear.  
NOTE: Changing this configuration option from one rate to another deallocates all DS0 channels assigned to either the  
Network E1 interface or the DTE Drop/Insert interface.  
NOTE: When you enable EDL, 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.  
NOTE: When you enable EDL for a synchronous data port and the clock source (either primary or secondary) 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.  
NOTE: For the 3174 DSU/CSU there is a hardware limitation that limits the combined bandwidth used by Port1 and  
Port3 to a total of 2048 kbps and the combined bandwidth used by Port2 and Port4 to 2048 kbps. Thus, 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 interface and to the network.

Data Port Channel Allocation (appears for the block method only). Designates the starting DS0 channel (N1–N31 for the  
Network E1 interface and D1–D31 for the DTE Drop/Insert interface).  
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 E1 DSU/CSU allocates the correct amount of DS0 channels to support the data rate currently configured for  
the port.  
Clear – Deallocates all DS0 channels for this port from either the Network E1 interface or the DTE Drop/Insert interface.  
NOTE: This configuration option does not appear if the individual channel allocation method (Chan) is selected using the  
Assign By configuration option, or if Prtn is selected using the Assign To configuration option.

Data Port Channel Allocation (appears for the individual channel method only). Designates the DS0 channel to allocate to  
this port (N1–N31 for the Network E1 interface and D1–D31 for the DTE Drop/Insert interface).  
Line 1 displays the 31 channels for the Network E1 interface or the DTE Drop/Insert interface. Line 2 displays what is  
allocated to the DS0 channel indicated in Line 1. Possible values for Line 2 are:  
Value Meaning  
This DS0 channel is not allocated. You can modify this value on this screen.  
Prtn  
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.  
Nn  
Dn  
This DS0 channel is allocated to the Network E1 interface DS0 channel n, where n is a number from 1  
to 31. You cannot modify this value on this screen.  
This DS0 channel is allocated to the DTE Drop/Insert interface DS0 channel n, where n is a number  
from 1 to 31. 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.  
NOTE: The E1 DSU/CSU automatically derives the data rate for the port from the number of DS0 channels allocated.  
NOTE: If time-slot 16 is reserved for signaling , D16 automatically connects to N16 and cannot be changed from this  
screen.  
NOTE: For the 3174 DSU/CSU there is a hardware limitation that limits the combined bandwidth used by Port1 and  
Port3 to a total of 2048 kbps and the combined bandwidth used by Port2 and Port4 to 2048 kbps. If a selection  
of Prtn causes this limit to be exceeded, the selection is ignored and the “–” will continue to be displayed for the  
channel.

AUX Port Interface  
NOTE  
The Auxiliary (AUX) port connects to the SNMP LAN  
Adapter for SNMP applications, or to another E1  
DSU/CSU’s COM port for daisy chain connectivity. (The  
SNMP LAN Adapter includes the cable that is needed  
to attach it to the E1 DSU/CSU.) The AUX port  
connector is an 8-pin modular connector (Table D-3).  
For daisy-chaining an AUX port  
to a COM port, a customer  
supplied, 8-pin-to-8-pin, straight-  
through 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.

COM Port Interface  
NOTE  
The COM port connects to a PC for front panel  
emulation, to an ASCII terminal or printer for alarms, to a  
network device (e.g., a router) for SNMP applications, to  
the SNMP LAN Adapter for SNMP applications, or to  
another E1 DSU/CSU’s AUX port for daisy chain  
connectivity. (The SNMP LAN Adapter includes the  
cable that is needed to attach it to the E1 DSU/CSU.)  
The COM port connector is an 8-position keyed modular  
connector (Table D-4). The data signals on this port are  
referenced to a DTE interface.

Overview  
This appendix describes the Management Information  
Base (MIB) objects that are supported by the E1  
DSU/CSU and provides a correlation between front panel  
commands and MIB objects (Table E-1).  
System Group Supported.  
Interface  
Group  
Supported for the network  
interface, the DTE Drop/Insert  
interface, the synchronous data  
ports, the COM port, and the AUX  
port. Interface statistics (counters)  
apply to any port (COM or AUX),  
whichever is defined as the SNMP  
management link.  
Management Information  
Base (MIB) II (RFC 1213)  
The objects defined by MIB II are organized into  
10 different groups. The E1 DSU/CSU implements only  
those groups where the semantics of the group are  
Address  
Translation  
Group  
Not supported since this group is  
not supported in MIB II.

ACCULINK 317x E1 DSU/CSU  
System Group – “sysObjectID” Object  
(system 2)  
IP Group  
Supported.  
ICMP Group Supported.  
This object provides the authoritative identification of  
the network management subsystem contained in the unit.  
This object displays the following object identifier:  
TCP Group  
Not supported since the TCP  
protocol is not supported by the  
E1 DSU/CSU.  
UDP Group  
EGP Group  
Supported.  
3172  
3174  
1.3.6.1.4.1.74.1.14.2.2.5  
1.3.6.1.4.1.74.1.14.2.2.6  
Not supported since the EGP  
protocol is not supported by the  
E1 DSU/CSU.  
System Group – “sysServices” Object  
(system 7)  
Transmission Supported on the E1 interfaces  
Group  
using the DS1/E1 MIB. Supported  
on the synchronous data ports  
using the RS-232-like MIB.  
Supported on the COM and AUX  
ports using the RS-232-like MIB.  
This object provides a value which indicates the set of  
services that are potentially offered by the E1 DSU/CSU.  
Only the following values are supported by the E1  
DSU/CSU.  
SNMP Group Supported.  
physical(1) – Layer 1 functionality for all  
interfaces.  
System Group, MIB II  
datalink/subnetwork(2) – Layer 2 functionality  
(SLIP, PPP) for the COM and AUX ports.  
The System Group objects are fully supported by the  
E1 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 E1 DSU/CSU. Objects not  
mentioned are supported as stated in the MIB.  
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).  
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:  
Interface Group, MIB II  
The Interface 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  
E1 DSU/CSU provides an entry in the interface table for  
the network interface, the DTE Drop/Insert interface, each  
of the synchronous data ports, the COM port, and the  
AUX 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 E1 DSU/CSU.  
E1 DSU/CSU; model xxxx-xx-xxx; S/W Release:  
yy.yy.yy; H/W CCA1: zzzz-zzz; H/W CCA2: zzzz-zzz;  
Serial number: sssssss.  
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 numbers of the unit.  
Interface Group – “ifNumber” Object  
(interfaces 1)  
sssssss represents the serial number of  
the unit.  
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)  
Interface Group – “ifDescr” Object (ifEntry 2)  
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.  
This object provides the textual information about the  
interface. Each interface displays a text string as shown  
below:  
Network E1:  
DTE E1:  
COM:  
“Network E1. E1 DSU/CSU,  
Hardware Version: [CCA number  
for the CSU board]”.  
The following are the values of the ifIndexes for all  
E1 DSU/CSU models:  
“DTE E1. E1 DSU/CSU,  
Hardware Version: [CCA number  
for the CSU board]”.  
1 – Net E1  
2 – DTE E1  
“COM port. E1 DSU/CSU,  
Hardware Version: [CCA number  
for the CSU board]”.  
3 – COM port  
4 – (not used)  
AUX:  
“AUX port. E1 DSU/CSU,  
Hardware Version: [CCA number  
for the CSU board]”.  
5 – Auxiliary RS-232 port  
6 – DCE port 1  
7 – DCE port 2  
8 – DCE port 3  
9 – DCE port 4  
Data Ports:  
“Data Port n. E1 DSU/CSU,  
Hardware Version: [CCA number  
for the DSU board]” (where n is 1  
to 4).  
Interface Group – “ifType” Object (ifEntry 3)  
The supported ifIndexes for the 3172 DSU/CSU are:  
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 E1 DSU/CSU:

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.  
This object specifies the current operational state of the  
interface. The value of this object for each interface is  
defined as follows:  
Network E1:  
The interface is up(1) when no  
alarm conditions exist.  
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:  
The interface is down(2) when an  
alarm condition is active.  
The interface is testing(3) when a  
test is active on the interface.  
E1 Interfaces:  
2,048,000 bps.  
DTE  
Drop/Insert:  
The interface is up(1) when no  
alarm conditions exist and the  
interface is enabled.  
COM and  
AUX:  
The currently configured data rate  
for the port.  
The interface is down(2) when an  
alarm condition is active or the  
interface is disabled.  
Data Ports:  
The currently configured data rate  
for the port when the port is  
allocated to one of the E1  
interfaces or to another port as a  
backup. If the port is not allocated  
the data rate is defined as zero.  
The interface is testing(3) when a  
test is active on the interface.  
COM Port:  
AUX Port:  
Data Ports:  
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).  
Interface Group – “ifAdminStatus” Object  
(ifEntry 7)  
The interface is never in the  
testing(3) state.  
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. The value of this  
object will not affect the state of any of the interfaces on  
the E1 DSU/CSU other than the COM port. Only the  
following values are supported by the E1 DSU/CSU:  
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.  
up(1) – The SNMP management link is active on  
the COM port.  
The interface is up(1) when the  
port is assigned to the E1 interface  
or another data port as a backup,  
and both CTS and DSR are ON.  
testing(3) – The SNMP management link is inactive  
on the COM port; the COM port can be used for  
proprietary ASCII functions.  
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)  
IP Group, MIB II  
The IP Group objects are supported by the E1  
DSU/CSU for all data paths which currently are  
configured to carry IP data to or from the E1 DSU/CSU,  
including the COM, AUX, 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 E1 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 E1  
DSU/CSU.  
This object contains the value of “sysUpTime” at the  
time the interface entered its current operational state. For  
the E1 DSU/CSU, this object is only updated for the “up”  
and “down” states. This is done since the “testing” state is  
not mutually exclusive with the “up” and “down” states.  
Interface Group – Input Counters  
(objects ifEntry 10 to ifEntry 15)  
These objects collect statistics on the data received by  
the COM port and the AUX port when these ports are  
configured as SNMP management links. For interfaces  
that are 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:  
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 E1 DSU/CSU.  
ifInOctets (ifEntry 10)  
ifInUcastPkts (ifEntry 11)  
ifInNUcastPkts (ifEntry 12)  
ifInDiscards (ifEntry 13)  
ifInErrors (ifEntry 14)  
forwarding(1) – The unit is acting as a gateway.  
IP Group – “ipAddrTable” Object (ip 20)  
The address table is supported by the E1 DSU/CSU.  
ifInUnknownProtos (ifEntry 15)  
IP Group – “ipAdEntAddr” Object  
(ipAddrEntry 1)  
Interface Group – Output Counters  
(objects ifEntry 16 to ifEntry 21)  
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.  
These objects collect statistics on the data received by  
the COM port and the AUX port when these ports are  
configured as SNMP management links. For interfaces  
that are 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:  
ifOutOctets (ifEntry 16)  
ifOutUcastPkts (ifEntry 17)  
ifOutNUcastPkts (ifEntry 18)  
ifOutDiscards (ifEntry 19)  
ifOutErrors (ifEntry 20)  
ifOutQLen (ifEntry 21)  
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.

ACCULINK 317x E1 DSU/CSU  
The following read-only objects must not be specified  
in the set PDU used to add a route.  
IP Group – “ipRouteTable” Object (ip 21)  
The routing table used by the E1 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 E1 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.  
ipRouteProto – Set to netmgmt(3) by software.  
ipRouteAge – Defaulted to 999.  
ipRouteInfo – Set to OBJECT IDENTIFIER {0, 0}  
since it is unused.  
IP Group – “ipRouteDest” Object  
(ipRouteEntry 1)  
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  
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 is  
treated as described in RFC 1354 (IP Forwarding Table  
MIB):  
(“ipRouteDest”) does not already exist.  
T
o add a route using an SNMP set, you must specify a  
“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  
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:  
ipRouteDest  
logical–AND of x with the value of the corresponding  
instance of the ipForwardMask object is not equal to x.”  
ipRouteIfIndex  
The following objects are defaulted if not specified in  
the set PDU used to add a route.  
IP Group – “ipRouteIfIndex” Object  
(ipRouteEntry 1)  
ipRouteMetric1 – Defaulted to 1 hop.  
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.  
ipRouteMetric2 – Defaulted to –1 for standalone  
devices.  
ipRouteType – Defaulted to indirect.  
ipRouteMask – Defaulted as specified in the MIB  
description.  
When setting this object via SNMP, the ipRouteIfIndex  
value can only assume an appropriate value of ifIndex  
defined for the particular device type.  
The following objects are unused in the E1 DSU/CSU  
and setting them will have no effect on the operation of  
the IP implementation.  
IP Group – “ipRouteMetric2” Object  
(ipRouteEntry 4)  
ipRouteMetric3, ipRouteMetric4, ipRouteMetric5 –  
Defaulted to –1 as specified in the MIB.  
For standalone devices, ipRouteMetric2 is not used and  
contains –1.  
ipRouteNextHop – Defaulted to 0.0.0.0.  
When adding a route to the routing table using SNMP,  
do not specify a value for ipRouteMetric2.

IP Group – “ipRouteProto” Object  
(ipRouteEntry 9)  
Transmission Group, MIB II  
Objects in the transmission group are supported on the  
network and DTE Drop/Insert interfaces, the COM 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 E1 DSU/CSU.  
This object is a read-only object and may have the  
following values in the E1 DSU/CSU.  
other(1) – Temporary route added by IP.  
local(2) – Route added or modified as a result of  
user configuration via the front panel.  
ds1 (transmission 18) – The transmission object  
supported on the E1 interfaces.  
netmgmt(3) – Route added or modified by means of  
an SNMP set.  
rs232 (transmission 33) – The transmission object  
supported on the synchronous data ports, COM  
port, and AUX port.  
icmp(4) – Route added or modified by Internet  
Control Management Protocol (ICMP).  
rip(8) – Route added or modified by the Routing  
Information Protocol (RIP) or similar proprietary  
protocol.  
The “ds1” transmission object is defined by the  
DS1/E1 MIB. The rs232 transmission object is defined by  
the RS-232-like MIB.  
SNMP Group, MIB II  
IP Group – “ipRouteAge” Object  
(ipRouteEntry 10)  
The SNMP Group objects that apply to a management  
agent are fully supported by the E1 DSU/CSU. The  
following objects apply only to an NMS and return a zero  
value if accessed.  
This object is implemented as a read-only object in the  
E1 DSU/CSU. In the E1 DSU/CSU, it reflects the value of  
the route’s time-to-live (in seconds). When displayed, 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.  
snmpInTooBigs (snmp 8)  
snmpInNoSuchNames (snmp 9)  
snmpInBadValues (snmp 10)  
snmpInReadOnlys (snmp 11)  
snmpInGenErrs (snmp 12)

Near End Group, DS1/E1 MIB  
The DS1 Near End Group consists of the following  
four tables:  
Near End Group – “dsx1LineCoding” Object  
(dsx1ConfigEntry 6)  
DS1 Configuration  
DS1 Current  
DS1 Interval  
DS1 Total  
This object corresponds to the DTE Coding  
configuration option on the E1 DSU/CSU. Only the  
following values are supported by the E1 DSU/CSU.  
dsx1HDB3(3) – Indicates HDB3 line coding.  
All four tables are fully supported for the network  
interface. Since statistics are not kept for the DTE  
Drop/Insert interface, only the DS1 Configuration table is  
fully supported. The “statistic” objects for the DTE  
Drop/Insert 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  
E1 DSU/CSU.  
dsx1AMI(5) – Indicates AMI line coding (for DTE  
only, not available for NET).  
Near End Group – “dsx1SendCode” Object  
(dsx1ConfigEntry 7)  
This object specifies the test patterns/codes being sent  
over the network interface. These tests are not supported  
on the DTE Drop/Insert interface. Only the following  
values are supported by the E1 DSU/CSU.  
Near End Group – “dsx1TimeElapsed” Object  
(dsx1ConfigEntry 3)  
dsx1SendNoCode(1) – Specifies that the interface  
is sending normal or looped data. Setting the  
interface to this value stops an active “send pattern”  
test on the interface. This is the only value  
supported by the DTE Drop/Insert interface.

dsx1LineLoop(3) – Specifies that a Line Loopback  
(LLB) is active for the network interface or a DTE  
Loopback (DLB) is active for the DTE Drop/Insert  
interface.  
This object specifies the timing source for the currently  
active transmit clock for this E1 interface. This may be  
either the primary clock source, secondary clock source (if  
the primary has failed), or the internal clock (if both  
primary and secondary have failed). This object differs  
from the MIB definition in that it is “read-only” (not  
read/write) for E1 DSU/CSUs. Only the following values  
are supported by the E1 DSU/CSU.

The Asynchronous Port table is not supported by the  
E1 DSU/CSU for the synchronous data ports. The Input  
Signal and Output Signal tables are not supported for the  
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 E1 DSU/CSU.  
The DS1 Fractional Group, DS1/E1 MIB  
The DS1 Fractional group consists of the DS1  
fractional table. This table (dsx1FracTable) is fully  
supported by the E1 DSU/CSU and allows channel (time  
slots) to be mapped between the E1 interfaces and data  
ports. If an invalid channel map (e.g., two interfaces  
mapped to a single time slot, one interface mapped to two  
E1s, etc.) is received, an error is returned to the SNMP  
manager. The E1 DSU/CSU validates all channel  
configurations before applying them.  
Number of Ports – “rs232Number” Object  
(rs232 1)  
Operational Note: The fractional E1 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 interface to time slots on the network E1  
interface. For mapping time slots between the network  
and DTE E1 interfaces, the following convention is used:  
Time slots on the E1 interface that are mapped to another  
E1 interface (i.e., not a data port) are connected in

General Port Table – “rs232PortType” Object  
(rs232PortEntry 2)  
General Port Table – “rs232PortOutSpeed”  
Object (rs232PortEntry 6)  
This object is used to identify the port’s hardware type.  
Only the following values are supported by the E1  
DSU/CSU.  
This object contains the port’s output speed in bits per  
second. For the E1 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  
AUX or COM port is the currently configured speed.  
Setting of this value for the AUX or COM port causes the  
configured port speed to be changed.  
rs232(2) – Used to identify the AUX and COM  
ports.  
rs422(3) – Used to identify synchronous data ports  
that are configured as EIA-530A or RS-449.  
v35(5) – Used to identify synchronous data ports  
that are configured as V.35.  
Asynchronous Port Table, RS-232-like MIB  
General Port Table – “rs232PortInSigNumber”  
Object (rs232PortEntry 3)  
The asynchronous port table contains an entry for the  
AUX or COM port when the port is configured for  
asynchronous operation. For the E1 DSU/CSU, the entries  
in the table that are counters (rs232AsyncPortEntry 6–8)  
are used to collect statistics and are not supported.  
This object contains the number of input signals  
contained in the input signal table. This is the number of  
signals that can be detected. This number is 2 for the  
synchronous data ports and 0 for the AUX and COM  
ports.  
Asynchronous Port Table, “rs232AsyncPortBits”  
(rs232AsyncPortEntry 2)  
General Port Table – “rs232PortOutSigNumber”  
Object (rs232PortEntry 4)  
This object specifies the number of bits in a character.  
Only the following values are supported by the E1  
DSU/CSU.  
This object contains the number of output signals  
contained in the output signal table. This is the number of  
signals that can be asserted. This number is 2 for the  
synchronous data ports and 0 for the AUX and COM  
ports.  
7 – 7-bit characters. Supported on the COM port  
only.  
8 – 8-bit characters.  
General Port Table – “rs232PortInSpeed”  
Object (rs232PortEntry 5)  
Asynchronous Port Table,  
“rs232AsyncPortStopBits”  
(rs232AsyncPortEntry 3)  
This object contains the port’s input speed in bits per  
second. For the E1 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  
AUX or COM port is the currently configured speed.  
Setting of this value for the AUX or COM port causes the  
configured port speed to be changed.  
This object specifies the number of stop bits supported.  
Only the following values are supported by the E1  
DSU/CSU.  
one(1) – One stop bit.  
two(2) – Two stop bits. Supported on the COM port  
only.  
one-and-half(3) – One and a half stop bits.  
Supported on the COM port only.

IP Network Addressing Scenario  
F
Interconnected 31xx Series devices automatically  
Overview  
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.  
This appendix describes a means of configuring 31xx  
Series devices in an Internet Protocol (IP) network to  
provide SNMP connectivity to a network management  
system (NMS). Since there are many possible network  
addressing schemes, this appendix describes an addressing  
scheme for a typical customer network scenario. This  
appendix is not intended to be an IP addressing or routing  
tutorial, and a basic understanding of IP and 31xx Series  
features is assumed.  
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 Network Addressing  
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.  
The IP network addressing scenario (Figure F-1)  
consists of 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.  
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 example, the default port (COM or AUX)  
The following notes apply to this scenario:  
is set in the device connected to the LAN Adapter  
.
Connections to remote devices may be via EDL or  
FDL; however, the FDL is only available on full E1  
links (not fractional E1s). 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).

Overview  
The E1 DSU/CSU offers functionality through Front  
Panel Emulation software that is similar to that provided  
by the E1 DSU/CSU front panel. The E1 DSU/CSU can  
either be locally or remotely attached to a 386 or higher  
PC that has at least 4 MB of RAM. (An external modem is  
required for remote attachment.) A copy of the E1  
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.

Emulation  
If the E1 DSU/CSU selected is not locally attached to  
the PC, you must first dial to the remote E1 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.  
To start front panel emulation,  
1. From the PC, open Program Manager from  
Windows.  
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 COM port configuration.  
5. Choose either a Local (for near-end E1  
DSU/CSU) or Remote (for far-end E1 DSU/CSU)  
destination.  
2. The Front Panel Window opens.  
6. If you chose a Local destination, click on the  
Execute button. If you chose a Remote  
destination, enter the telephone number of the  
external modem connected to the far-end E1  
DSU/CSU in the Phone Number field, then click  
on the Dial button.
