Chapter 4. Configuration Overview
AT Commands
The DSU III AR can be configured and controlled with in-band AT
commands from an asyn chronous DTE por t jus t as modems a re.
To exit the data mode and enter the command mode, the
asynchronous DTE device must transmit a proper escape sequence
or three pluses (+++) to the DSU III AR. A specified time delay
must occur between the last data character and the first escape
sequence character. This is the guard time delay, and it can be
changed by w ritin g a va lue to the S12 re giste r. The default val ue for
the guard time is one second. For a valid escape sequence to occur,
the DTE must transmit the escape code character three times in
succession with delay between each character being less than the
guard time.
Once the command mode is entered, AT commands can be
transmitted to the DSU III AR to configure most of the options or
initiate tests to check both the DSU III AR and the network
connections. All command lines must begin with the AT attention
code in either capital or lower case letters. The command that
follows must match the case of the attention code.
The command line may contain a single co mmand or a series of
commands after the AT attention code. When a series of commands
is used, the individual commands may be separated with spaces for
readability. The maximum length for a command line is 40
characters. Each command line is executed by the DSU III AR upon
receipt of a terminating character. The default terminating
character is a carriage return (ASCII 013), but it can be changed by
writing a different value to register S3.
Before the terminating character is transmitted, the command line
can be edited by using the backspace character (ASCII 008) to erase
errors so the proper commands can be entered.
Valid AT commands for the DSU III AR are listed in Appendix B,
AT Commands on page B-1.

Chapter 4. Configuration Overview
CNL (Configuration Local)
This command is used to pass AT commands to the local modem
via the V.25 bis command processor. This allows the DSU III AR to
be configured with A T commands via a synchronous interface. The
command has the following format:
CNL[LOCAL PASSWORD;]AT[ONE OR MORE AT COMMANDS]
A local pass word may not be r e q uired, depe nd i n g on the prese nt
configuration of the unit . Responses to CNL commands are
returned in the data format currently configured. Possible
responses include VAL and INVn.
CNR (Configuration Remote)
This command is used to pass AT commands over the network to
the remote DSU via the V.25 bis command processor. This allows a
remote DSU III AR to be configured from a synchronous interface.
The command's format is as follows:
CNR[REMOTE PASSWORD;]AT[ONE OR MORE AT COMMANDS]
The remote password may or may not be required depending on
the present configuration of the remote unit. Responses to the CNR
commands are returned in the data format currently configured.
Possible responses include VAL and INVn.

special DSU cable diagram for this application is shown in
Appendix D, EIA-232 Co nn e ctor on page D-1. Using this option and
special cable eliminates data errors caused by excessive delays in
the DTE transmit clock receiver and transmit data driver.

Anti-Stream
The A
NTI-STREAM
option is used to select the anti-stream time-out.
The anti-stream time-out is the maximum time the DSU III AR
transmits data into the network from the DTE. This feature
prevents one DTE device on a multi-drop network from
continuously tying up the tra nsmit circuit back to the master DSU.
Figure 6-8 shows the menu path used to access the A
NTI-STREAM
options menu.
The anti-stream timer is reset to zero when RS changes to the active
state and is updated every second while RS is active. When the
anti-stream time-out expires, the DSU III AR stops transmitting
DTE data into the network b ut continues to accept data from it.
This condition exists until the DTE deactivates the RS input.

Testing and Troubleshooting
TEST OVERVIEW
The DSU III AR performs a variety of diagnostic functions that
isolate portions of the circuit to identify the problem source. Tests
may be initiated and terminated from the front panel or the DTE
interface. In asynchronous mode, AT commands can control the
testing from the DTE interface. For synchronous operation, V .25 bis
commands can provide test control.
The unit also responds to standard DDS network tests initiated
from telco test centers. In addition, it can run several tests such as
local and remote loopbacks to aid in problem isolation. See Figure
11-1.

If an external BERT tester is available, these additional tests may be performed: DTE & Loop Test, DTE Only Test, and Loop Only Test.
If the unit fails any of these tests or the problem has not been
determined, contact ADTRAN Technical Support (see page xi in
the front section of this manual).
The DSU III AR unit diagnostics tests can be initiated through AT
Commands from the DTE interface. These commands are listed in
Table 11-3 on page 11-9.
Perform a Remote Test to verify the connection
between the local and remote unit is error free.

DTE and Loop (LL)
Test Description
DTE
Test Purpose
The DTE & L
OOP
test splits the DSU III AR into two separate DTE
and loop interface sections and then loops the receive data of each
interface back to its respective transmit data. The DTE & L
provides a bidirectional loopback at the DSU/CSU.
Figure 11-5 illustrates the loopback points and the signal paths for
this test.

DTE Only
The DTE O
NLY
test provides a method for testing both the DTE
interface drivers and receivers of the local DSU III AR plus its loop
transmitter and receiver. For this test, the loop transmit data is
connected to the loop receive data at a point close to the physical
network interface. This test can be used to verify proper operation
between the local DTE and the local DSU III AR. See Figure 11-9.
When this test is implemented, the far unit receives an
OOS/OOF
sage from the network and enters an alarm state.
