Packet Delay: 0s

Packet Delay . Controls the time (in seconds) that a DSU or DBM will wait for a packet to complete from an
NMS. This configuration option only appears for a DSU configured as a control.
NOTE: Must be used when the Model 3600 DSU's diagnostic channel operates over packet switch, satellite
communications, or other facilities that provide extended throughput delays.
0s to — Sets the time the DSU or DBM will wait for the NMS to complete its command.

Extend Main Channel .
between the DTE port of the tributary DSU and the DTE port of the extended control DSU. If set to Yes, the
DSUs propagate Test mode conditions across multiple links. Test mode does not propagate over a circuit
configured for disruptive diagnostics.
Yes — Set this configuration option to Yes to extend main channel connectivity between the DTE ports
of the tributary and extended DSU in an extended network. A tributary DSU will send Test
mode conditions downstream, while a control DSU will receive/accept the Test mode condition.
No — Set this configuration option to No if you do not have an extended network. A control DSU will
not receive/accept the Test mode condition; the condition will be ignored.
Upstrm Port:Prt1
Next Prt1 Prt2

Upstream Port . If an extended control DSU has its DTE interface connected to the tributary DSU or APL
modem and the configuration option Extend Chan is set to Yes, set this configuration option to the upstream
port number. Select Prt1 if the tributary DSU is operating in single-port mode. This configuration option has
an effect only if Diag Type is set to NonD.
Prt1 to — Selects the upstream port number.
Prt6
M-PtSymPrt:Disab
Next Enab Disab
Multipoint Symmetrical Port . This configuration option enables rate adaption in the tributary DSU to control
direction on a multipoint circuit. It will not appear if a point-to-point circuit or if operating in MCMP mode, and
is not valid when Diag Type is set to Disr.
This configuration option should be enabled when performing multipoint rate adaption (e.g., the port speed is
less than the line speed). It should also be enabled for single-port multipoint nondisruptive diagnostics if the
transmit data rate is required to match the receive data rate. This is generally the case in extended circuit
applications and in multipoint applications where the tributary DSU is configured as a digital-sharing device.
Enab — Enable this configuration option when performing multipoint rate adaption or when a multipoint
network is configured for nondisruptive diagnostics and a symmetric port speed is required for
proper DTE operation.
Disab — Disables multipoint rate adaption on the tributary control DSU on the tributary control DSU.

When in TDM or MCMP mode, or when a multipoint single-port device, or when DiagType is set to Disr or
None, this configuration option does not appear. Instead, it is displayed in the MUX Port configuration
options, under Port 1, and Ports 2—6 must be set independently.

When in TDM or MCMP mode, this configuration option does not appear. Instead, it is displayed in the MUX
Port configuration options under Port 1, and Ports 2—6 must be set independently.
