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.
