3.2.3 Anti-Streaming
This option is typically enabled on remote DSUs using multi-point
lines. When enabled, the anti-streaming feature prevents a
streaming (jammed) DTE from affecting the communications from
remote sites(in a multi-point circuit) that are operating properly.
When Anti-Streaming is enabled, the MT56DSU-R will detect when
the DTE device holds RTS (Request To Send) on for longer than 20
seconds. The MT56DSU-R then forces RTS and CTS off internally
and sends the DDS Idle Channel signal to the network. The DTEs
interface is ignored until the streaming DTE is repaired. The RTS
LED is continuously lit and the CTS LED is off when a streaming
DTE has been detected.
The default for this function is Anti-Streaming disabled. (Refer to
Chapter 2 for changing the default DIP switch settings.)
3.2.4 Elastic Store
This function allows the MT56DSU-R to compensate for small timing
phase drifts that occur in applications using analog modems for
off-net (non-DDS) extensions. An analog off-net extension
application is described in Appendix A. This option should be
enabled on all MT56DSU-Rs that are connected to analog modems.
Notes for off-net (elastic store enabled) sites:
a special DCE-DCE cross-over cable is required (not supplied
by Multi-Tech).
the modem located with the MT56DSU-R must be set for
external timing. The modem located at the far end of the off-net
extension must be set for slave timing.
with applications using controlled carrier, the CTS delay of the
far-end modem of the off-net extension must be set for a longer
period than the MT56DSU-Rs CTS delay time.
The default for this function is Elastic Store disabled. (Refer to
Chapter 2 for changing the default DIP switch settings.)
