Introduction

Overview

The ACCULINK® 316x DSU/CSU acts as an interface between the T1 digital network and the customer premises equipment, converting signals received from the DTE (Data T erminal Equipment) to bipolar signals that can be transmitted over T1 lines. Typical applications include shared access to network-based services, Local Area Network (LAN)/Wide Area Network (WAN) interconnection, and fractional T1 network applications.

In addition to the T1 network interface and the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface, the Model 3160 provides two synchronous data ports and the Model 3164 provides four synchronous data ports. The Model 3165 provides one synchronous data port, but no DTE Drop/Insert interface.

Features

The Model 3161 (carrier-mounted DSU/CSU) provides two ports in addition to the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface and is designed to be installed in the COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier.

For more information about the carrier-mounted DSU/CSU, refer to the

3151 CSU and 3161 DSU/CSU General Information Guide 3000 Series Carrier Installation Manual

The 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.



Several loopback capabilities and test pattern generators.



DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) capability.





Asynchronous (async) terminal interface support.



Telnet access for remote async terminal operations.



Network management provided through industry-standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) Interface

The DTE Drop/Insert interface allows DTEs/PBXs that support the DS1 signal format to share the T1 network with other high-speed equipment. This is available on 2-port and 4-port DSU/CSUs.

Alarm Message Capability

The DSU/CSU can be attached, either locally or remotely, to an ASCII terminal or printer to display or print alarm messages. Alarms can also be displayed on a PC that is using a terminal emulation package.

Front Panel Emulation

The DSU/CSU offers functionality through Front Panel Emulation software that is similar to that provided by the DSU/CSU front panel. The functionality of the front panel is available by clicking on the function keys with the mouse rather than by pressing keys from the actual front panel.

Integral Modem

The standalone DSU/CSUs contain an integral low-speed (2400 bps), V .22bis dial modem that enables communication with remote devices such as another 316x DSU/CSU, an ASCII terminal or printer, or a PC running the 3100 Series Front Panel Emulation software.

Async Terminal Interface Support

The DSU/CSU can be configured and managed from an asynchronous (async) terminal. The async terminal’s full screen display uses a menu hierarchy similar to the DSU/CSU’s front panel. You can perform device management and configuration operations as if you are using the DSU/CSU’s front panel, but you do not have the limitation of the 2-line, 16-character LCD.

Telnet Access

Remote async terminal operations can be performed using T elnet access. T elnet 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 or network device can be directly connected to the communications (COM) port or can be accessed via Ethernet using the 10BaseT port.

On the Model 3164, an external LAN Adapter can be connected to either the COM port or the auxiliary (AUX) port to provide Ethernet connectivity. Also, the DSU/CSU can be daisy chained together by connecting the COM port of one Model 3164 to the AUX port of another, providing SNMP connectivity.

1. Introduction

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).

Physical Description

The 316x Series consists of a Model 3160 DSU/CSU (2-port), a Model 3164 DSU/DSU (4-port), a Model 3165 DSU/CSU (1-port), and a Model 3161 (carrier-mounted) DSU/CSU.

Power-On Self-Test

After you connect the DSU/CSU to a power source, the unit performs the power-on self-test to ensure that it is in good working order. The DSU/CSU performs this test on itself upon power-on or after a device reset, unless it has been disabled by the Self-Test configuration option (see Appendix C,

The self-test includes a basic processor test, a limited memory test, a code checksum test, and basic verification tests of the internal components. The front panel LCD displays the progress and pass/fail status of these power-on tests.

Procedure

The power-on self-test consists of the following steps:

1. Once the DSU/CSU is plugged in, the In Progress screen appears and the Fail LED blinks ON and Off continuously.

Self-Test: In Progress

Configuration Options

2. All the LEDs then start to flash simultaneously in the pattern twice ON, then Off. Then, the LCD begins to flash characters and numbers in the same pattern, alternating with the flashing LEDs.

3. If the self-test is successful, the Passed screen appears for one second, the Fail LED turns Off and the OK LED lights.

Changing Configuration Options

The DSU/CSU is an intelligent device that displays only valid options for the current configuration. Therefore, you are only presented with menu choices that are consistent with the current configuration and operational state of the DSU/CSU; invalid combinations of configuration options do not appear. For example, menus displayed for the Model 3160 (2 ports) and the Model 3164 (4 ports) differ due to the number of ports available. Also, if the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface selection is disabled, many of the menu choices do not appear. Be aware that although all options are shown in this guide, what you see on your DSU/CSU varies with your configuration.

The DSU/CSU offers configuration options located in the following memory areas:



Active (Activ)

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.

Selecting the Port

The SNMP manager, Telnet device, or network device (e.g., a router) can be directly connected to the communications (COM) port. Use the MODEM port when accessing the DSU/CSU through a dial-up connection.

On the Model 3164, an external LAN Adapter can be connected to either the COM port or the auxiliary (AUX) port to provide Ethernet or Token Ring connectivity. Also, the DSU/CSU can be daisy chained together by connecting the COM port of one Model 3164 to the AUX port of another, providing SNMP or T elnet connectivity.



The COM port can support either synchronous or asynchronous PPP, or asynchronous SLIP at data rates of up to 38,400 bps.



The AUX port can support data rates up to 38,400 bps.



The MODEM port can support either synchronous or asynchronous PPP, or asynchronous SLIP at data rates of up to 2400 bps.

Setting the IP Address

4. Configuration

The IP address is the address used by the SNMP or Telnet system to access the DSU/CSU (see Appendix G,

IP Network Addressing Scenarios

). For DSU/CSUs 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 bytes, each represented by three decimal digits (

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

The IP address is set for the MODEM port, the COM port, or, for the Model 3164 only , the A UX port (with LAN Adapter or daisy chain), depending on which one has been chosen as the SNMP or Telnet communication link. The example below shows an IP address of 010.155.111.222 being set for the COM port. You can use the same principles to assign any valid value. Valid values are 000–126 and 128–223 for the first byte, and 000–255 for the remaining bytes.

Procedure

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.

NOTE:

The carrier-mounted DSU/CSU does not support synchronous operation on the COM port.

The standalone DSU/CSU implementation of PPP supports the following:



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.



The DSU/CSU provides a unique LCP magic number derived from the unit serial number and the elapsed time.

4. Configuration



Full negotiation of escape characters.

The 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 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

communications link. Refer to

Configuring DS0 Channels

The DSU/CSU provides channel configuration options that allow you to do the following:



Display the DS0 assignments for the network, DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1), and data port interfaces.



Allocate DS0 channels on the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface to the network interface.



Allocate DS0 channels on the network or DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface to particular data ports.



Clear (deallocate) all DS0 channels from the network, DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1), or data port interface.



Map data from one port to another.

To allocate DS0 channels, begin by defining the logical channel configuration for the network interface, and then the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface, and then any ports, if desired. See Figure 4-1, Example of Channel Allocation, for an example of a conceptual diagram of a channel configuration.

Blank configuration worksheets are provided at the back of Appendix C,

Configuration Options

allocation:

1. Complete the Network Interface and the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) Interface tables (unless the DTE Drop/Insert interface is disabled) as shown in the examples in Figure 4-2, Example of Interface Worksheet for Network Interface, and Figure 4-3, Example of Interface Worksheet for DTE Drop/Insert Interface.

2. Complete the Robbed Bit Signaling (RBS) information worksheet as shown in the examples in Figure 4-4, Example of RBS Information Worksheet.

3. Using the worksheets shown in Figure 4-5, Port Channel Configuration

Worksheet (Ports 1 and 2), and Figure 4-6, Port Channel Configuration Worksheet (Ports 3 and 4), circle the configuration options needed to

implement the logical channel configuration.

Once you have completed the worksheets, enter this information using the procedures in

Allocating Data Ports

4. Configuration

By using the configuration options, assign a specific port to DS0 channels on either the network interface or the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface. The following methods are available to assign DS0 channels to the port:



Block

– Allows a block of contiguous channels to be assigned by specifying a data port rate and an initial DS0 channel (the first DS0 channel in a block of DS0 channels). The number of channels assigned is determined by the port rate. Only those initial DS0 channel numbers that provide enough bandwidth (based on the port’s data rate) are displayed on the screen. These channels are automatically assigned to the destination T1 interface (Network or DTE Drop/Insert) when the initial DS0 channel is selected.



ACAMI (Alternate Channel Alternate Block Inversion)

– Allows a block of contiguous channels to be assigned by specifying a data port rate and an initial DS0 channel (the first DS0 channel in a block of DS0 channels). However, with ACAMI, the number of channels assigned is twice the number needed for the port rate. This is because with ACAMI, every alternate DS0 channel (starting with the

+1 DS0 channel), does not carry data from the

port, but instead always transmits and receives all ones.



Chan (Channel)

– Individually selects the DS0 channels to allocate to the data port. The data port rate is automatically determined based on the number of channels selected.

Once a port is selected, you have access to the configuration options to complete the port allocation procedure. These configuration options enable you to:



Assign the selected port to the desired interface.



Select the desired method for channel allocation.



Select the port rate and starting channel (if the allocation method is block or ACAMI).



Select the specific channels (if the allocation method is by individual channel).

Providing Backup Capability

If the T1 network fails, the DSU/CSU provides the ability to reconfigure the unit and restore (at least partially) priority data circuits through an external backup device.

You can store backup configuration options in the Customer 2 set of customer-defined configuration options. The Enterprise MIB variable devConfigAreaCopy allows the entire contents of one configuration area to be copied into another configuration area via SNMP.

By cross-connecting two synchronous data ports to each other, one port can provide a backup path for the other. As soon as the ports are configured to be mapped to each other, Data Set Ready (DSR) for the ports is turned on. The external backup device can be configured to initiate dialing when it detects the off-to-on transition of DSR.

Selecting the Timing Source

The DSU/CSU provides the ability to select a master clock (timing) source that is used to synchronize all of the T1 and data port interfaces on the DSU/CSU. The clock for each interface is at the appropriate rate for that interface (e.g., 1.544 Mbps for the T1 interfaces, the configured port rate for the data ports), and it is independent of the master clock rate. This means that the master clock rate and the DSU/CSU interface rates may be different.

The clock source configuration options enable you to select either the network interface, a synchronous data port, the internal clock, the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface, or an external clock. If external clocking is selected, you must use the clock rate configuration option to specify the clock rate. Figure 4-7,

Common Clocking Configurations, shows some common clocking configurations.

Two sample procedures for configuring timing are given in the following sections,

Configuring for Network Timing

on page 4-43. For more information on configuration options, refer to Appendix C,

Configuration Options

on page 4-42 and

Configuring for External Timing

NOTE:

The external clock source is only available for 2-port and 4-port DSU/CSUs. For carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs, the external clock provides timing for up to eight slots in the carrier. Each Auxiliary Backplane must have its own external clock input.

Enabling the COM Port for Carrier-Mou nted DSU/CSUs

Communication between the carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs and an external PC, ASCII device, SNMP manager, or async terminal interface (attached either locally or through an external modem) occurs through a shared communication (COM) port. (For COM port cabling information, refer to the

Carrier Installation Manual

.) Unlike standalone DSU/CSUs, the carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs do not have a dedicated COM port for external access. Once the COM port is enabled, other COM port configuration options can be selected. These options are used to configure Port 2 on the Auxiliary Backplane as a COM port for the carrier.

NOTE:

If a Model 3161 DSU/CSU has the COM port enabled, Port 2 cannot be used as a data port.

Procedure

COMSPHERE 3000 Series

To enable the COM port on the carrier-mounted DSU/CSU:

1. From the top-level menu screen, select Cnfig.

2. Select the configuration option set to be copied into the Edit area by using the appropriate Function key. Use the scroll keys, if necessary.

3. Select Edit.

4. From the Edit screen, press the key until the User selection appears on the screen.

4. Configuration

The carrier COM port provides the following functionality:



If configured for ASCII, only one ASCII device may be used for the carrier. (If two COM ports are configured for ASCII, neither will work.)



If configured for Mgmt, each device in the carrier can support an Mgmt COM port; however, each Mgmt COM port must be connected to a different subnet. To facilitate IP data routing, the device with the closest link to the SNMP manager or Telnet client should be configured as the IP Bus Master.



If configured for either ASCII or Mgmt, the carrier COM port may be configured to control an external device (e.g., modem, x.25 PAD) through the use of A T or user-specified commands.

The set of valid characters for control of the carrier external COM port device is as follows:



The numbers: 0–9



The lowercase letters: a–z



The uppercase letters: A–Z



The space (“ ”) character



The ASCII symbols (in ascending order, based on the ASCII code)



The End Of Line (EOL) symbol:



The caret (“^”) control character is used to select non-printable ASCII

←

characters. The caret “^” must be followed by one character which together form the control sequence. Table 4-2, Control Sequence, defines all of the available control sequences.
