Resp Period: 1
Next 1 2 10
Response Period . Determines how frequently the DSU sends health and status information. This applies to
RTS/CTS Delay diagnostics, which is used for single-port multipoint configuration if the Diagnostic Type
configuration option is set to NonD or Mixed. Although this configuration option determines how often the
health and status message is transmitted, an extended RTS/CTS delay occurs each time the DTE raises or
lowers RTS. Applicable to tributary DSUs and DBMs only.
1 — Tributary DSU responds with health and status information each time the DTE raises RTS.
2 — Tributary DSU responds with health and status information every other time the DTE raises
RTS.
10 — Tributary DSU responds with health and status information every tenth time the DTE raises
RTS.
TribTimOut: 0:10
Next Chang Prev
Tributary Time-out . The time (in minutes and seconds) that a DSU waits for a tributary health and status
report before generating a Tributary Time-out alarm. This setting can be from 5 seconds to 10 minutes. This
configuration option is used for single-port multipoint configurations when the Diagnostic Type is set to NonD
or Mixed.
Chang — Set this configuration option to greater than or equal to the maximum amount of time it takes
for the front-end processor (FEP) to complete its polling cycle on that circuit, multiplied by the
value entered in Resp Period. When using async terminal, leading zeros must be entered; i.e.,
enter 00:09 for a 9-second tributary timeout.
Diag Conn: CC
Next CC DC
Diagnostic Connection . This value should match the connection set up for the 3600 Hubbing Device
connected to this DSU. It is only available to a Model 3610 DSU configured as a control.
CC — Control Channel
DC — Diagnostic Channel
Link Delay: 0s
Next 0s 1s
Link Delay . Controls the additional time (in seconds) that a DSU or DBM will wait for a response from a
device one level downstream. This configuration option does not appear for a multipoint single port device or
when Diag Type is set to NonD.
NOTE: If diagnostic time-outs are occurring during polling or DATAPHONE commands, increase the link
delay to the next higher value.
0s to — Sets the time the DSU or DBM will wait for a downstream device response.
50s
Network Delay: 0s
Next 0s 1s
Network Delay . Controls the additional time (in seconds) that a DSU or DBM will wait for a response from a
multilink channel. This configuration option only appears when Diag Type is set to NonD, only applies to ADp
mode, and should be set to at least 1 second if the downstream link is MCMP.
0s to — Sets the time the DSU or DBM will wait for a multilink channel response.
