This command causes the DSU to go on-line. For dial backup units, this command hangs up the dial backup line and initiates an attempt to reestablish the main (DDS) line. There are no parameters associated with this command. Possible indications include VAL, CNX, and CFIxx. 61202011L1-1 DSU III AR User Manual...
CNL (Configuration Local) This command is used to pass AT commands to the local modem via the V.25 bis command processor. This allows the DSU III AR to be configured with AT commands via a synchronous interface. The command has the following format: CNL[LOCAL PASSWORD;]AT[ONE OR MORE AT COMMANDS]...
Possible responses include VAL, CNX, and CFIxx. CRS (Call Request Using Stored Number) The CRS command causes the DSU III AR to dial the number stored in the specified register. The format of this command is as follows:...
When a correct register number is entered, the following response is returned: [REGISTER NUMBER];[NUMBER STORED]VAL If no register number is present in the command, the DSU III AR responds with a list of all the registers and the stored numbers. This list is followed by the VAL response.

ADTRAN DSU/CSU units will operate in this configuration. ADTRAN does not recommend the tail circuit mode due to the potential for clock slippage and data loss when using this configuration. Moreover, further problems can occur when each DDS circuit is using a different master clock source and will require additional hardware called a tail cir- cuit buffer to reduce the risk of data overruns and clock slips.
