Configuration Tasks
Verifying DSU Mode
Use the show controllers serial command to display the DSU mode of the controller:
Router# show controllers serial
Serial2/1/0 -
Framing is c-bit, Clock Source is Internal
Bandwidth limit is 44210, DSU mode 0, Cable length is 10
rx FEBE since last clear counter 0, since reset 0
Data in current interval (0 seconds elapsed):
0 Line Code Violations, 0 P-bit Coding Violation
0 C-bit Coding Violation
0 P-bit Err Secs, 0 P-bit Sev Err Secs
0 Sev Err Framing Secs, 0 Unavailable Secs
0 Line Errored Secs, 0 C-bit Errored Secs, 0 C-bit Sev Err Secs
0 Severely Errored Line Secs
0 Far-End Errored Secs, 0 Far-End Severely Errored Secs
0 CP-bit Far-end Unavailable Secs
0 Near-end path failures, 0 Far-end path failures
0 Far-end code violations, 0 FERF Defect Secs
0 AIS Defect Secs, 0 LOS Defect Secs
Transmitter is sending AIS.
Configuring Maintenance Data Link
MDL messages are used to communicate identification information between local and remote ports. The
type of information included in MDL messages includes the equipment identification code (EIC),
location identification code (LIC), frame identification code (FIC), unit, Path Facility Identification
(PFI), port number, and Generator Identification numbers.
Step 3
Router(config-if)# dsu mode {0 |
1 | 2 | 3 | 4}
Specifies the interoperability mode used by the T3 controller.
• 0—Connects a T3 controller to another T3 controller or to a
Digital Link DSU. Bandwidth range is from 300 to 44210
kbps. This is the default.
• 1—Connects a T3 controller to a Kentrox DSU. Bandwidth
range is from 1500 to 35000, or 44210 kbps.
Note If the bandwidth is set between 35000 and 44210 kbps, an
error message is displayed.
• 2—Connects a T3 controller to a Larscom DSU. Bandwidth
range is from 3100 to 44210 kbps.
• 3—Connects a T3 controller to an Adtran T3SU 300.
Bandwidth range is from 75 to 44210 kbps.
• 4—Connects a T3 controller to a Verilink HDM 2182.
Bandwidth range is from 1500 to 44210 kbps.
Step 4
Router(config-if)# dsu
bandwidth kbps
Specifies the maximum allowable bandwidth.
• kbps—Bandwidth range is from 1 to 44210 kbps.
