Overview
After the DSU has been installed and any necessary
hardware switches or jumpers have been set, the software
configuration options must be set. Configuration options
are set via the DCP by accessing the Configuration
(Confg) branch of the menu (refer to the menu tree in
Appendix A).
There are seven configuration storage areas within the
DSU:
• The active area (Activ) contains the configuration
options currently being used by the DSU.
• The remote area (Remt) allows a selected DSU’s
configuration options to be retrieved. Once
retrieved, they can be edited, and/or saved back to
the selected DSU, another DSU, or the local DSU.
Activ and Usr1 are the remote configuration option
sets that can be retrieved.
• The user 1 area (Usr1) is a customer-defined set of
stored configuration options. By predetermining
and storing a frequently used configuration, the
stored option set can be loaded quickly as operating
requirements change.
NOTE
The PTPC, PTPT, MPTC, and
MPTT areas are read-only
storage areas (configuration
option changes cannot be saved
to these areas).
• The factory-loaded configuration option sets for a
point-to-point control DSU are contained in the
PTPC area.
• The factory-loaded configuration option sets for a
point-to-point tributary DSU are contained in the
PTPT area.
• The factory-loaded configuration option sets for a
multipoint control DSU are contained in the MPTC
area.
• The factory-loaded configuration option set for a
multipoint tributary DSU are contained in the
MPTT area.
NOTE
Load the appropriate option set
(PTPC, PTPT, MPTC, or MPTT)
when installing or upgrading the
DSU.
Selecting Activ, Usr1, PTPC, PTPT, MPTC, or MPTT
from the Load from screen brings a complete set of
configuration options into the DSU’s working buffer.
These configuration options are grouped by their function.
These groupings are referred to as option sets. Each of
these option sets, or groupings, control a specific aspect of
the DSU’s operation.
