Front Panel Emulation

The 3160/3164 DSU/CSU offers the same functionality

through Front Panel Emulation software as that provided

by the DSU/CSU front panel. The DSU/CSU can either be

locally attached to a 286 or higher PC, or remotely

through a local 3160/3164 DSU/CSU’s integral modem. A

copy of the DSU/CSU front panel appears on the PC; full

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.

For 3161 DSU/CSUs, a single PC is used to access all

of the slots in the carrier

. The PC is connected locally to a

single slot containing either a 3151 CSU or 3161

DSU/CSU that has been configured as the Master

Communication Unit. The Master Communication Unit

provides the shared COM port on the Auxiliary

Backplane, so that an attached PC can access any

3151/3161 device attached to the Auxiliary Backplane.

The 3161 DSU/CSU is capable of activating the shared

alarm relay on the 3000 Series Carrier, if so configured.

The alarm relay is deactivated when the condition causing

the alarm is corrected, or an Alarm Cut-Off (ACO)

command is issued from the SDCP or the optional Front

Panel Emulation software.

Front Panel Pass-Through

Pass-through (passthrough

) mode enables the user at

the local DSU/CSU to access the front panel of a remote

316x DSU/CSU using the integral modem. In addition,

front panel pass-through can be used from a PC connected

to the COM port of the local

Model 3160/3164 DSU/CSU. By using Pass-through

mode, the user can operate the remote 316x DSU/CSU

through the front panel of the local DSU/CSU or via the

PC using the Front Panel Emulation software.

Async Terminal Interface Support

A Model 3160/3164 DSU/CSU can be configured and

managed from an async (asynchronous) terminal. When

the Async T

erminal feature is enabled, the DSU/CSU is

managed from the async terminal’

s full screen display

using a menu hierarchy similar to, and the same option

selections available from, the DSU/CSU front panel. The

async terminal can be connected locally via the COM port

for direct access or connected via the modem port for

dial-in access.

Procedures throughout this manual are described

specifically for a front panel user. Look for the subhead

Differ

ences Using the Async T

erminal

within each

procedure section for the user interface information on the

Async T

erminal feature.

DSX-1 Drop/Insert Port

The DSX-1 Drop/Insert port allows DTEs/PBXs that

support the DS1 signal format to share the

T1 network with other high-speed equipment.

Front Panel Access Control Feature

Using the Front Panel Access Control feature, you can

disable the front panel so that users cannot manipulate

device configuration options from the front panel. This

feature is especially useful in conjunction with the async

terminal interface or front panel emulation on the PC.

SNMP Management Capabilities

The Model 3160/3164 DSU/CSU supports the Simple

Network Management Protocol (SNMP), V

ersion 1, and

therefore has the capability of being managed by any

industry-standard SNMP manager. The company provides

an SNMP application tailored for 3100 Series devices that

runs on a Hewlett-Packardr HP OpenView network

management platform. This application enhances your

ability to manage the 3100 Series devices by presenting

the Management Information Base (MIB) information

relevant to these devices in an easy-to-read format. The

functionality provided by the SNMP application is a

subset of the functionality available through the

DSU/CSU’s front panel. The 3100 Series SNMP

application is used to manage and control general device

functions, the Network T1 interface, the DSX-1 (DTE)

interface, the Communications (COM) interface, the

MODEM interface, and the individual DCE ports. For

more information about SNMP management of

3100 Series devices, refer to the
