Activating Interface Option Changes

After the async terminal configuration options are set,

the changes must be saved and made active. Depending on

your preference, changes are saved to the Customer (Cust)

Configuration option set which, in turn, must be written to

the active Configuration option set to take affect. Or, they

are saved directly to the Active Configuration Option set.

Refer to the Configuration Option Ar

eas

section earlier in

this chapter for information on saving changes to the

Configuration option sets.

Initiating an Async Terminal Session

Once

the async terminal is connected and the

configuration option changes are active, modem port users

must dial-in through a modem connection to initiate a

session using the async terminal. COM port connections

automatically display the first level menu provided a

password is not required.

If access security is required, the Password Access

screen displays the prompt for password input. If access

security is not required, the top-level menu (or main

menu) appears or a message appears indicating that

another user has control of the device. In this case, the

screen shows which type of connection is active,

Ft.

Panel, Modem, or COM Port.

Entering a Password

When

access security is required, the Password Access

Screen appears and the password must be entered.

d is valid

Async Terminal Menus and Screens

Menus differ from the front panel in that they typically

do not use abbreviations and in some cases provide a

more direct access to an option or function. However, the

menu selections are straightforward and the logical

grouping of the menu tree remains the same between

interfaces. In general, the interfaces follow the same

paths. A few options available from the 3160/3164

DSU/CSU front panel are not available from the async

terminal interface, such as the Lamp test. This is noted

where appropriate in the procedures. The terminal

interface also supports the same context sensitivity as the

front panel.

By convention throughout this manual, examples of

screens that access the data ports are always shown as

they appear with the 4-port 3164 DSU/CSU. Menus for

the 2-port DSU/CSU only display the information for

Port 1 and Port 2.

The top line of every screen always displays the menu

path for the function (or configuration option) being

displayed. The second line shows the customer

identification (CID) number and the DSU/CSU’

s model

number. The remaining screen area is used for menu or

option-specific information.

There are three screen types: menu selection, edit and

display screens. Menu screens list selections available

through the menu system, edit screens provide the

interface for changing configuration options, and display

screens provide configuration information and results

from performance and device specific tests. Unlike the

front panel operation where you constantly key forward to

view or choose configuration options and selections, the
