Programmable Configuration Overview
There are a variety of ways to configure the individual ACU-1000 modules (beyond the
Hardware Configuration information covered in Section 2.11). These configuration options are
called configuration items and provide the ACU-1000 with its great flexibility to create
optimized interfaces with a wide range of communications systems for simple and seamless
cross-connections. Each type of module has specific programmable configuration items that
relate to the type of communications media that the module is designed to interface with.
2.12.7 Modules Configurable Via the ACU Controller or the WAIS Controller
The optimum method for programming the configuration items of the ACU-1000 interface
modules (the HSP, DSP, LP and PSTN) is via the ACU Controller program (though they can
also be programmed by the WAIS Controller or HSP-2A keypad). Section 2.13 describes the
ACU Controller configuration procedure. Refer also to Section 2.17 for an explanation of each
configuration item. See Section 2.14 and the WAIS Controller manual for the configuration
procedure using this program.
2.12.8 Modules Configurable Via Browsing to its Front Panel Ethernet Port
All of the features of the CPM-4 can be configured via a browser. See Section Figure 2-21.
Some can also be configured via the HSP-2A keypad.
The DSP-2 module’s VoIP features may be configured via a browser. See Section Figure 2-32.
The DSP-2s other features (related to radio interfacing, etc.) currently can’t be configured via a
browser and are instead configured via the HSP-2A keypad or the ACU or WAIS Controller
programs.
2.12.9 Modules Configurable via the HSP-2A Keypad
The ACU-1000 interface modules (the HSP, DSP, LP and PSTN) can be configured via the
HSP-2A keypad as well as via the ACU Controller or the WAIS Controller. See Figure 2-14
Programming via HSP-2A Keypad, for a flowchart, and Section 2.16 which explains the
procedure for programming via the HSP-2A keypad. Refer also to Section 2.17 for an
explanation of each configuration item.
2.12.10 Modules Configurable Via Hardware Switches Only
As explained in Legacy Section 7.5.1, the obsolete CPM-2 module is hardware configurable
only. The delay functions of the obsolete AP-1 have been incorporated into the DSP-2.
