Important Safety Instructions
1. Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or included in the
manual.
2. This product is intended to be used with a three-wire grounding type plug – a plug which has a
grounding pin. This is a safety feature. Equipment grounding is vital to ensure safe operation. Do
not defeat the purpose of the grounding type plug by modifying the plug or using an adapter.
Prior to installation, use an outlet tester or a voltmeter to check the ac receptacle for the presence of
earth ground. If the receptacle is not properly grounded, the installation must not continue until a
qualified electrician has corrected the problem.
If a three-wire grounding type power source is not available, consult a qualified electrician to
determine another method of grounding the equipment.
3. Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the
product and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must not be blocked or covered.
4. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord and do not locate the product where persons will
walk on the power cord.
5. Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous high voltage points or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Safety Instructions
6. General purpose cables are provided with this product. Special cables, which may be required by the
regulatory inspection authority for the installation site, are the responsibility of the customer.
7. When installed in the final configuration, the product must comply with the applicable Safety
Standards and regulatory requirements of the country in which it is installed. If necessary, consult
with the appropriate regulatory agencies and inspection authorities to ensure compliance.
8. A rare phenomenon can create a voltage potential between the earth grounds of two or more
buildings. If products installed in separate buildings are interconnected, the voltage potential may
cause a hazardous condition. Consult a qualified electrical consultant to determine whether or not
this phenomenon exists and, if necessary, implement corrective action prior to interconnecting the
products.
9. In addition, if the equipment is to be used with telecommunications circuits, take the following
precautions:
— Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
— Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
— Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
— Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
— Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a
remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
— Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

DTE Connections
The
distance between the DSU and the DTE must be
within the EIA-232 or V.35 interface limits. Refer to
Appendix F for LADS connection distances.
For the EIA-232 connector:
• The typical maximum distance is 50 feet at data
rates no greater than 19.2 kbps.
• For distances greater than 50 feet or data rates
higher than 19.2 kbps, use short, high quality cable
with low capacitance and a DTE capable of
supporting the distance and data rate.
• As specified in EIA-232-D, ensure that the distance
is not greater than 50 feet and the ef
fective shunt
capacitance of the circuit does not exceed 2500 pF
Calculate the cable capacitance per foot and
multiply by the number of feet of cable.
When Port 1 requires a speed higher than 19.2 kbps,
the port interface should be set to V.35. For all models
using the V
.35 connector
, the maximum distance
recommended between the DSU and the DTE is
1000 feet.
To install the Model 3610 DTE connection:
. Procedure
1. Connect the plug end of the DTE cable to the
proper port on the back panel of the DSU (EIA232
or V.35). Tighten the two holding screws, if
present, to secure the connector

Network Diagnostic
Connection
A
hubbing device and an M6BJ cable are needed to
connect the control DSU to a 6700 or 6800 Series NMS.
The hubbing device provides two 8-pin modular jacks for
diagnostic channel (DC) and control channel (CC)
connections.
NOTE
When installing 3600 Series
DSUs and 3400 Series or
DATAPHONE II modems on the
same diagnostic channel, install
the DSU ahead (upstream) of
the modems. This ensures that
the DSU maintains contact if the
modem loses power.

Overview
You can manage a 3600 Series DSU from:
• The front panel
•
An async terminal
•
An NMS
This chapter describes how to manage the DSU using
the front panel. Refer to Appendix C for async terminal
operation.
The menus are organized as a branching hierarchy or
menu tree. Appendix A contains this menu tree.
Appendix B contains a Configuration W
Basic mode configuration option settings. Basic mode
represents a DSU with no additional hardware features
installed. Refer to these reference materials as you

there is a corrupted configuration. For a DSU with TDM or MCMP, the alarm may be in the
communications path between the DSU and TDM or MCMP circuit card.
Alarms at the local or remote DSU cause the Alrm status indicator to light on the affected DSU.
Refer to Table E-5, Device Health and Status Messages, for further details. DBM health and
status messages are in Document No. 3610-A2-GB49.
Test Yellow When the active core is being tested, the active DSU or DBM device is either performing a test or
other DSUs or DBMs are in Test mode.
The DSU or DBM is automatically put into Test mode
when a remote DSU or DBM is performing a test disruptively. A DSU or DBM in Test mode has
the DTE interface turned Off.
DSU with TDM or MCMP: Any test involving the TDM or MCMP also involves the DSU. The test
is integrated into the DSU’s Health and Status report. When the active core is being tested, any
port included in the active core is also tested.
