Using the Async Terminal
Feature
You can use an async terminal to manage the
3160/3164 DSU/CSU devices from either the COM port
or MODEM port. You can perform device management
and configuration operations as if using the device's front
panel without the limitation of the 2-line, 16-character
LCD. An entire menu, submenu, test result, or all
configuration selections for a configuration option appear
on a single screen display.
This section is provided as a supplement to all the
procedures described throughout this manual for using the
front panel. Therefore, all the procedures, tables and
descriptions of fields and input values provided in all
chapters and appendices apply to the information
displayed on the async terminal screens. There are
differences in menu selections made from the front
panel/PC interface and the async terminal interface when
performing a task. Refer to the Differences Using the
Async Terminal Interface heading within each procedure
description to note the differences between interfaces.
This section is limited to describing how the async
terminal feature is configured, how it is accessed and how
to navigate among the menus and screens.

Setting Interface Options

Certain user interface options must be set to enable
async terminal operation. Using the front panel, use the
Configuration (Cnfig) branch of the front panel menu
hierarchy to edit the User Interface (User) options for
async terminal operation. Table 3-13 shows the
configuration options and appropriate settings for the
Async Terminal feature. Basically, the change depends on
the port supplying the connection. The other configuration
options use their defaults but they should be verified.
