Port Speed Configuration Options
There are two submenus in the menu tree that are
dedicated to configuring the TDM or MCMP option:
MUX and PrtSp. The Port Speed (PrtSp) submenu allows
you to change the primary and backup port-speed
configurations for TDM mode of operation, and the
primary port speed and channel-to-port assignment for
MCMP mode of operation. For single-port operation, this
option is available through the DSU submenu. The
applicable tables are listed below:
Port Speed Configuration Options for DSU with
TDM (Table 6-14)
Port Speed Configuration Options for DSU with
MCMP (Table 6-15)
Port Speed Configuration Options for DBM with
TDM or MCMP (Table
Channel-to-Port Assignment Configuration Options
for DBM for MCMP
For additional Port Speed configuration option
information, order the COMSPHERE 3600 Series Data
Service Units, Models 3610 and 3611, Time Division
Multiplexer, Multichannel Multipoint, and Digital Bridge
Options, Applications Guide.
LPDA-2 Configuration Options
The LPDA selection is only available to a DSU
operating with the SNA Diagnostic Interface option. The
option allows 3600 Series DSUs to be controlled from
IBM's NetView management program using the LPDA-2
(Line Problem Determination Aid, Revision 2) protocol.
The addressing scheme for LPDA-2 establishes a
relationship between the link segment levels (primary
circuit, extended circuit) and the remote DSUs populating
the circuit. A link segment level or a particular DSU in the
circuit can be targeted for diagnostic testing.
The 3600 Series DSUs operating with the SNA
Diagnostic Interface option can respond to commands
from NetView, a Paradyne NMS, or the DSU's DCP. The
LPDA-2 address is independent of the DSU network
address associated with an NMS or DCP command.
Table 6-18 shows the LPDA-2 configuration options.
The LPDA-2 configuration options must be set for each
control and tributary DSU involved in the LPDA-2
monitoring.

Keys to Using Configuration Option Tables
The Configuration Option Tables explain each
configuration option within each option set based upon
the DSU's mode of operation, and identifies and explains
each setting that can be selected for the configuration
option; the Configuration Worksheets
summarize the configuration options (and their values) as
they appear based upon the DSU's mode of operation.
A DSU without TDM or MCMP
operates in Basic mode, which is
the same mode as when a DSU
with TDM or MCMP has its TDM
or MCMP circuit card disabled
(MUX Funct = None).
Tables are presented in the order in which they appear
on the Confg branch of the menu. Each table shows each
configuration option as it is displayed on the first line of
the display. The default (factory-set) setting follows the
colon (:). All the settings that can be selected are shown
on the second line of the display. The definition and
explanation for the option follows, along with an
explanation of each possible selection to guide you when
reconfiguring the unit.
In the Digital Bridge Setup (MUX Funct: CBrdg or
EBrdg) Configuration Options Table, the factory-loaded
bridge settings stored in the FacB storage area are shown.
In the TDM, MCMP, and Digital Bridge Port
Configuration Options Tables, the configuration options
for Ports 1 through 6 are identical.
Refer to these tables when configuring the DSU; refer
to the worksheets for a summary of the option sets and
their configuration options.
