Using DDS CSU/DSU
This chapter describes the commands available for configuring a DDS CSU/DSU module in your router. It includes the following topics:
DDS CSU/DSU Features
Displaying the DDS Prompts
DDS Commands
DDS CSU/DSU Features
The following is a list of physical device features the DDS (Digital Data System) module supports.
For testing purposes, you can connect the DDS CSU/DSU back-to-back with another DDS device using a short crossover cable.
Data Link and Signalling Features
The DDS software supports the following datalink and signalling features:
Limitations
The DDS CSU/DSU does not support the following:
DDS ELS Messages
The DDS software does not have a separate ELS subsystem. Message 47 in Serial Line (SL) ELS subsystem applies to DDS modules.
Displaying the DDS Prompts
The DDS configuration applies to a physical device. If you have multiple interfaces on one device, it does not matter which Circuit Config <NET-#> prompt for the device you use to get to the DDS configuration prompt.
To display the DDS Config <NET-#> prompt,
- 1. To see a list of devices, enter list devices at the Config> prompt. To see a list of interfaces, enter list interfaces at the Config> prompt.
- 2. Enter the network command to display the circuit configuration prompt. The network number is the number of a DDS interface.
Config>network
What is the network number [0]? 2
Circuit Configuration
Circuit Config <NET-2>
- 3. Enter sl to display the serial line prompt.
Circuit Config <NET-2> sl
Serial Line Configuration
Serial Config <WAN2>
- 4. Enter dds at the Config <WAN2> prompt.
Serial Config <WAN2> dds
DDS user configuration
DDS Config <WAN2>
To display the DDS <WAN1> prompt,
- 1. To see a list of devices, enter list devices at the + prompt.To see a list of interfaces, enter list interfaces at the + prompt.
- 2. Enter network followed by the number of the interface you want to monitor.
+network 2
Circuit <NET-2>
- 3. Enter sl at the Circuit <NET-#> prompt.
Circuit <NET-2>sl
Serial Line Console
Serial Console <WAN2>
- 4. Enter dds at the Serial Console <WAN2> prompt.
Serial Console <WAN2> dds
DDS user console
DDS <WAN2>
DDS Commands
Table 1 summarizes the DDS commands.
Press Space twice after you type a command to display the available parameters for each command. Enter help for information about using the command line interface.
[C] means the command is available at the DDS Config <NET-#> prompt.
[M] means the command is available at the DDS <WAN#> prompt.
Disable [M]
Disables back-to-back-master.
Syntax: disable
- back-to-back-master
Example: disable back-to-back-master
Enable [M]
To use the DDS module for back-to-back connection with a DDS module in another router for testing purposes, enable one DDS module to be master and provide clocking.
Syntax: enable
- back-to-back-master
Example: enable back-to-back-master
Exit [C]
Returns to the previous prompt.
Syntax: exit
Example: exit
Circuit Config <NET-1>
List [C]
Lists the current configuration of the DDS interface.
Syntax: list
Example: list
Channel speed: 56K Primary
Parameters [M]
Displays current runtime configuration of the DDS module.
Syntax: parameters
Example: parameters
DDS Module parameters:
Provider line configuration= 56K-Primary
Set [C]
Sets whether DDS uses 7 or 8 data bits for each character it sends. Your service provider supplies this information.
By default, DDS uses 7 data bits, which is called 56K primary
If your service provider's line uses B8ZS (Bipolar with Eight Zero Substitution) signalling, you need to set the speed to 64K clear channel, which means the software uses eight data bits per character.
DDS does not detect an incorrect value of this setting, so you need to make sure the speed is set in accordance with your service provider's configuration.
Syntax: set channel-speed
- 56K-primary
- 64K-clear-channel
Example: set channel-speed
Channel Speed (56/64) [64]?
Statistics [M]
Displays statistics for the DDS module. The counters contain the number of occurrences of the various violations since the last reset or the most recent clearing of the statistics for this interface. (To clear statistics for an interface, enter clear followed by the number of the interface you want to clear at the + prompt.)
Example: statistics
DDS Line Statistics
Invalid Bipolar Violation 0
Out of Sync: 0
Out of Frame: 0
Unassigned Mux Code: 0
Unmatched Code: 0
Loop Currrent Lost: 0
Receive Signal Lost: 0
Note: ELS message SL.047 contains DDS interrupt status event messages. The SL handler/layer reports the special events affecting a DDS line in standard SL form
