Selecting the Port
The SNMP manager, Telnet device, or network device (e.g., a router) can be
directly connected to the communications (COM) port. An external LAN Adapter
can be connected to either the COM port or the auxiliary (AUX) port to provide
Ethernet or Token Ring connectivity. Also, the DSU/CSU can be daisy chained
together by connecting the COM port of one device to the AUX port of the other,
providing SNMP or Telnet connectivity. Use the MODEM port when accessing the
DSU/CSU through a dial-up connection.
The COM port can support either synchronous or asynchronous PPP, or
asynchronous SLIP at data rates of up to 38,400 bps. The AUX port can support
data rates up to 38,400 bps. The MODEM port can support either synchronous or
asynchronous PPP, or asynchronous SLIP at data rates of up to 2400 bps.
The example shown below assumes that the COM port is being used as the link to
the SNMP or Telnet system.
Procedure
To select the COM port as the SNMP or Telnet link:
1. From the top-level menu screen, select Cnfig.
2. Select the configuration option set to be copied into the Edit area by using the

3. Select Edit.
4. From the Edit screen, press the key until the User selection appears on the
