Using the Integral Modem
Using the Integral Modem in Standalone DSU/CSUs
The standalone DSU/CSU’s integral modem enables your DSU/CSU to
communicate with remote devices to display alarm messages or to function as the
user interface.
The carrier-mounted DSU/CSU does not have an integral
modem.
The Call command, available from the Control branch of the menu tree, provides
the following functions to initiate and terminate modem connections:
Pass
– Initiates a call through the integral modem to access a far-end
DSU/CSU’s front panel from your DSU/CSU’s front panel (or PC attached to
the COM port).
Dial
– Initiates a call through the integral modem to a printer, ASCII terminal,
or PC. Sets up a semipermanent connection to route alarm messages to the
specified destination.
Disconnect
– Disconnects an active modem connection.
Change Directory
– Allows entry of phone numbers into the internal phone
directories.
