Lamp Test
The Lamp Test is a test of the status indicators (LEDs)
and liquid crystal display (LCD) on the DSU’s control
panel (both models). Any indicator that does not flash is
not functional.
Note that if all LEDs are functioning, all the indicators
on the Model 3550 DCP are flashing steadily. In a
COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier, the indicators on the
SDCP remain ON. The LCD on the DCP or SDCP
alternately flashes solid blocks, moving from position to
position on the display until the test is aborted.
Pressing any key except the
key will stop the LCD
portion of the Lamp Test and return you to the DSU Test
menu so you can abort the test. Once aborted, the LCD
and LEDs stop flashing.
Configuration Branch
The Configuration (Confg) branch allows you to
configure or customize the DSU and its equipment (DBM
or TDM/Flex) to fit your site’s requirements, to enter and
change telephone numbers (if a DBM is installed), and to
specify the mode for viewing or editing configuration
options.
The 3550 Series DSUs have two special features that
simplify configuration of your DSU: Menu mode and the
preset (factory-set) unit configurations to fit typical DSU
applications.
It is recommended that you set the Menu mode before
you select an application configuration, or access option
sets.
Selecting Menu Mode
By selecting Menu from the Configuration Options
(Opts) branch, you can
• View and configure options in each option set, or
• View and edit only those options that are more
likely to change.
This feature saves time and simplifies customization of
your DSU’s configuration. Appendix B, Configuration
Worksheets, summarizes the unit’s configuration options
for each Menu mode selection.
