Selecting The Port - Paradyne 3160-A3 Operator's Manual

3. Operation

Selecting the Port

The SNMP manager, Telnet device, or network device (e.g., a router) can be
directly connected to the communications (COM) port. 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 device to the AUX port of the other,
providing SNMP or Telnet connectivity. Use the MODEM port when accessing the
DSU/CSU through a dial-up connection.
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.
The example shown below assumes that the COM port is being used as the link to
the SNMP or Telnet system.
