Software Version of the DSU . Forces the DSU's software/firmware version to be reported to the NMS
through the Identity (ID) command, in the DSU SW vers field. This configuration option supports NMS
compatibility for a tributary DSU with a control DSU with an older software version. It applies when
Diag Type is set to Disr or when a multipoint DSU configured for Mixed or NonD diagnostics is not operating
in MCMP mode.
When the control DSU's software version is 5.15 or greater, it will be compatible with any tributary
3600 Series DSU, regardless of its software version. To ensure optimal functioning of the DSU, however,
both the control's and tributary's DSU SW Vers configuration option must be set to Normal, and the tributary
DSU's set to Normal or No.
If the control DSU's software version is less than 5.15, the following configuration option changes will need
to be made:
3.22 — Set 3.22 for a tributary DSU when the control DSU's software version is 3.13 or less, and the
tributary DSU's software version is 5.15 or greater. No setting change is required for the control
DSU; the DSU SW Vers configuration option is not available to the control.
4.41 — Set 4.41 for the tributary DSU when the control DSU's software version is 4.25 or 4.28 and the
tributary DSU's software version is 5.15 or greater. For the control DSU, set the 3.20 DSU
SW Vers (the name of the configuration option in an older firmware version) configuration
option to No.
Normal — Select Normal for both the tributary DSU and control DSU when both DSU software versions
are 5.15 or greater. Since Normal is the default setting, no change is required.
