Selecting the Port
The SNMP manager, Telnet device, or network device (e.g., a router) can be
directly connected to the communications (COM) port. Use the MODEM port when
accessing the DSU/CSU through a dial-up connection.
On the Model 3164, 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 Model 3164 to the AUX port of another, providing SNMP or Telnet connectivity.
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.

1. From the top-level menu screen, select Cnfig.
