About the DSU  
SNMP Management Capabilities  
The DSU supports SNMP Version 1, and can be managed by any  
industry-standard SNMP manager and accessed using SNMP by external SNMP  
managers.  
Management Information Base (MIB) Support  
The following MIBs are supported:  
H
MIB II (RFC 1213 and RFC 1573) – Defines the general objects for use with  
a network management protocol in TCP/IP internets and provides general  
information about the DSU. MIB II is backward-compatible with MIB I.  
H
RS-232-Like MIB (RFC 1659) – Defines objects for managing RS-232-type  
interfaces (e.g., V.35, RS-422, RS-423, etc.) and supports the synchronous  
data port on the DSU.  
H
H
Ethernet-like MIB (RFC 1643) – Defines objects for managing Ethernet-like  
interfaces (e.g., 10BaseT).  
Enterprise MIB – Supports configuration, status, statistics, and tests.  
Rear Panel Interface Connections  
The following illustration shows the physical interfaces of the DSU. Information  
about the installation of the DSU is contained in the Model 7612 SNMP DSU with

Security  
Controlling SNMP Access  
There are three methods for limiting SNMP access.  
H
H
Disable the SNMP management option. Refer to Table A-7, General SNMP  
Management Options.  
Assign SNMP community names and access types. The DSU supports  
SNMP Version 1, which provides limited security through the use of  
community names.  
H
Limit SNMP access through validation of the IP address of each allowed  
SNMP manager.  
Assigning SNMP Community Names and Access Types  
The DSU can be managed by an SNMP manager supporting SNMP. The  
community name must be supplied by an external SNMP manager accessing an  
object in the MIB.  
To define SNMP community names, follow this menu selection sequence:  
Main Menu Configuration Load Configuration From Edit →  
SNMP General SNMP Management  
Refer to Table A-7, General SNMP Management Options, to:  
H
H
Enable SNMP Management.  
Assign the SNMP community names of the SNMP Managers that are allowed  
to access the DSU’s Management Information Base (MIB).  
H
Specify Read or Read/Write access for each SNMP community name.  
Limiting SNMP Access through the IP Addresses of the Managers  
The DSU provides an additional level of security through validation of the  
IP addresses.  
The SNMP Management option must be enabled. To control SNMP access with  
IP addresses, follow this menu selection sequence:  
Main Menu Configuration Load Configuration From Edit →  
SNMP SNMP NMS Security Options  
Refer to Table A-8, SNMP NMS Security Options. The SNMP access can be  
limited by:  
H
H
Enabling NMS IP address validation to perform validation checks on the  
IP address of an SNMP management system attempting to access the DSU.  
Specifying read or read-write access for each NMS authorized to access the  
unit.

IP Addressing

Selecting an IP Addressing Scheme  
You can select from many IP (Internet Protocol) addressing schemes to provide  
SNMP NMS connectivity. Review the following information in preparation for  
selecting an IP addressing scheme.  
H
H
You can assign IP addresses to the:  
— 10BaseT port  
— IMC  
When the IMC Routing Information Protocol option is set to Proprietary,  
IP routing information is automatically passed between interconnected DSUs  
from the network side.  
A static route to the DSU that is managed over the IMC must be set in the  
routing table of the NMS host or local router.  
H
H
H
Each DSU’s internal routing table supports a maximum of 20 routes, even  
though a single route is all that is needed to reach every device on a subnet.  
Any legal host address is allowed for a given subnet; the address choice  
within the subnet is completely arbitrary.  
The 48-bit MAC (Media Access Control) address of the 10BaseT port does  
not govern the port’s 32-bit IP address.

IP Addressing  
IP Addressing Scheme Examples  
Management of IP addressing is based upon individual IP addresses assigned to  
each interface. The IP interfaces for the unit are the:  
H
H
Ethernet port: See Table A-4, Ethernet Port Options.  
IMC: Set the In-Band Management Channel Rate (bps) to 1600, 4000, or  
8000 bps; see Table A-2, Network Interface Options.  
NOTE:  
Do not assign IP addresses without the assistance of the parties who  
determine the IP addressing scheme used for your organization.  
The following illustrations and examples apply to IP management traffic only.  
The subnet mask for each device in these examples is 255.255.255.000.  
IMC Connection – Same Subnet  
In this example, the DSU with the IMC IP address of 135.18.2.1 is connected to:  
H
H
The NMS at the central site, via the 10BaseT port  
A remote DSU through the proprietary IMC  
The IMC is enabled (the rate is set to 1600, 4000, or 8000). See Table A-2,  
Network Interface Options.  
The Default Gateway Address is 000.000.000.000. See Table A-4, Ethernet Port  
Options.  
NOTE:  
Interconnected DSUs will automatically pass routing information between  
each other using a proprietary protocol. However, a static route to  
subnet 135.18.2.0 must be set in the routing table of the NMS Host.

IP Addressing  
Using Routers to Route DSU Management Data  
In this example, the DSUs:  
H
H
Receive their management data through the 10BaseT port connection to a  
hub.  
Do not route the data between themselves. (The IMC is disabled. See  
Table A-2, Network Interface Options.) Routers route management data for  
the connected DSUs using the management data path between the routers.  
The NMS or Telnet host can be on the same subnet as the DSU, or it can connect  
to the subnet the DSU is on through a router. If it uses a router, the DSU needs to  
have a gateway router defined. The Default Gateway Address in the example is  
135.18.4.1. See Table A-4, Ethernet Port Options.

Lamp Test  
The DSU supports a Lamp test from the Test menu to determine whether all  
LEDs are lighting and functioning properly.  
During the Lamp test, all LEDs blink simultaneously every second. When you  
stop the Lamp test, the LEDs are restored to their normal condition.  
Ending an Active Test  
A test initiated by the user can be ended by the user.  
H
A Test Timeout option is available to automatically terminate a user-initiated  
Loopback or Pattern test (as opposed to manually terminating a test) after it  
has been running a specified period of time. Refer to Table A-1, System  
Options.  
Test Timeout does not pertain to tests commanded by the:  
— Network, such as the network-initiated CSU and DSU Loopbacks.  
— DTE, such as the DTE-initiated Local Loopback.

Testing  
Device Reset  
The DSU can be reset locally or remotely. From the Control menu, select Reset  
Device and press Return, then answer Yes to the verification message. The DSU  
reinitializes itself, performing a Device Self-Test. Refer to Table 6-2, Self-Test  
Results Messages, in Chapter 6.  
Configuring the DSU improperly could make the user interface inaccessible,  
leaving it in a state where an ATI session cannot be started through the Terminal  
port or via a Telnet session. If this occurs, DSU connectivity can be restored with  
a terminal that is directly connected and set for Terminal Port option defaults.  
Two methods can be used to restore access to the ATI. Both methods cause a  
device reset.  
H
Reset Terminal Port – Allows you to only reset the configuration options  
related to Terminal port usage. No security-related configuration options are  
changed. Refer to Table A-5, Terminal Port Options, for defaults.  
H
Reload Factory Defaults – Allows you to reload the Default Factory  
Configuration, resetting all of the configuration areas and control settings for  
security reasons. This method is useful when the user’s passwords have  
been forgotten.  
" Procedure  
To reset Terminal port settings:  
1. At the asynchronous terminal connected to the Terminal port, verify that the  
terminal’s options are set to the default settings:  
— Data Rate(Kbps) to 9.6  
— Character Length to 8  
— Stop Bits to 1  
— Parity to None  
2. Power the DSU Off and back On. The DSU performs a power-up routine.  
3. Immediately after the OK and TEST LEDs light up, press the Return key  
5 times quickly in succession. The System Paused screen appears.

DDS Line Rate (Kbps)  
Possible Settings: 56, 64CC, Autobaud  
Default Setting: Autobaud  
The unit starts up with Autobaud. On the Network Interface Status screen, when the  
DDS line rate obtained from the service provider is detected, Autobaud is replaced with  
the actual rate.  
H DDS Line Rate (Kbps) option appears when Operating Mode is set to DDS.  
NOTES: – Setting the actual data rate will result in minimum power-up time. (If both  
DSUs use Autobaud, training can take several minutes.) Configuring the  
actual data rate is recommended after initial installation.  
– The clock rates generated by the DSU at the DTE interface (TXC and  
RXC) equal the operating rate minus the configured rate of 1600, 4000,  
or 8000 bps for the IMC, if enabled. Refer to the In-Band Management  
Channel Rate (bps) option in Table A-2.  
56 – 56 kbps line rate.  
64CC – 64 kbps Clear Channel on a 72 kbps circuit.  
Autobaud – This setting is automatically changed to the actual operating line rate of  
56 kbps or 64CC as soon as the signal is detected.  
LADS Timing  
Possible Settings: Internal, External, Receive  
Default Setting: Internal  
Determines the timing source for the unit.  
H LADS Timing option appears when Operating Mode is set to LADS.  
Internal – Timing derived from the unit’s local clock. Use this setting for the LADS  
primary timing unit that establishes the timing for both point-to-point units.  
External – Timing is derived from the external clock provided by the DTE connected to  
the V.35 interface on circuit CT113 (pins U, W).  
NOTE: The valid rate generated by the DTE must be equal to the LADS line rate  
minus the configured rate of 1600, 4000, or 8000 bps for the IMC, if  
enabled. Refer to the In-Band Management Channel Rate (bps) option in  
Table A-2.  
Receive – Timing is derived from the line receive signal unless the unit is running  
diagnostic tests. During the tests, the timing source is the internal clock. This setting  
should be used for a LADS secondary timing unit.  
LADS Line Rate (Kbps)  
Possible Settings: 56, 64  
Default Setting: 64  
Line operating rate for LADS operation.  
H LADS Line Rate (Kbps) option appears when Operating Mode is set to LADS.

MIB Descriptions  
Interfaces Group  
The Interfaces Group as defined in RFC 1573 consists of an object indicating the  
number of interfaces supported by the unit and an interface table containing an  
entry for each interface. Since RFC 1573 is an SNMPv2 MIB, it is converted to  
SNMPv1 for support by the unit. Table C-2 provides clarification for objects  
contained in the Interfaces group when it is not clear how the object definition in  
RFC 1573 is supported by the unit.
