ConÞguring the DL3100 4
To conÞgure a DL3100, you can use the terminal interface by connecting an
ASCII terminal to the DL3100Õs comm port.
This chapter describes how to connect the terminal and how to conÞgure
the DL3100 T3 Access Multiplexer from a terminal.
Required Information
Before you conÞgure the unit, we suggest you collect the following:
¥ The DSU/CSU IP address and IP subnet mask. You will need these to
establish a telnet connection to the DSU/CSU from a remote terminal
and enable SNMP network management.
¥ Framing and line code requirements as speciÞed in the work order from
your service provider
Keeping a Record
We suggest you keep a written record of each unitÕs conÞguration. For a
copy of the conÞguration worksheet, see ÒConÞguration WorksheetÓ on
page A-11 in Appendix A, ÒDL3100 Technical SpeciÞcations.Ó
Connecting an ASCII Terminal
You can connect the terminal to the TERMINAL port either directly, or
through a daisy-chained or dial-up modem connection.
Before you connect the terminal, you need to make sure that the bit rate,
parity bit, word length and stop bit settings on the terminal or modem
match the DL3100 settings.
Checking the Default Settings
The default settings are as follows:
baud rateÑ9600, parity bitÑnone, word lengthÑ8, stop bitsÑ2
If these settings are not the same, reconÞgure the DL3100Õs default settings
using the front panel controls. For more information on the front panel, see
Chapter 7, ÒUsing the Front Panel Interface.Ó
