iMarc DSL CSU/DSU Overview

The iMarc

™

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) CSU/DSU is a component in the iMarc

system. This system allows you to perform end-to-end service level management

across a hybrid DSL/Frame Relay network. Service providers can isolate and correct

problems remotely from their NOC (Network Operations Center).

The CSU/DSU has an IDSL interface and is a manageable frame relay-aware endpoint.

The following diagram shows a typical use of the iMarc DSL CSU/DSU in a network.

The iMarc DSL CSU/DSU is available in two feature sets:

 Diagnostic Feature Set provides basic frame relay and diagnostic capability.

 Advanced SLM (Service Level Management) Feature Set provides basic features,

plus service level management and reporting capability.

Refer to System Overview in the iMarc SLV Technical Description for a list of iMarc DSL

CSU/DSU’s features, and the capabilities provided by each feature set.

Upgrading a Unit to Advanced SLM Feature Set

An iMarc DSL CSU/DSU with the Diagnostic Feature Set can be upgraded to the

Advanced SLM Feature Set at any time by ordering an iMarc Advanced SLM Activation

Certificate (Feature Number 9720-C1-220). A certificate can be ordered for a single

CSU/DSU, or for many CSU/DSUs. You must specify the model to be activated, your

OpenLane SLM system license key number, and the number of router activations to be

included on the certificate.

The OpenLane

®

SLM system, Release 5.3 or later, is required to schedule the activation

of Advanced SLM features and to manage the certificate activations included in the

certificate.

To learn more about activating Advanced SLM capability, refer to the iMarc SLV

Activation Instructions (Document No. 9000-A2-GK43), or contact your sales

representative.

2. Use an 8-pin Ethernet cable for the Ethernet connection for local management.

Insert one end of the cable into the jack labeled ETHERNET.

— Use a straight-through cable to connect the other end of the cable to an

Ethernet hub. Do not connect to the hub’s optional Uplink connection with a

straight-through cable; the Uplink connection requires an Ethernet crossover

cable.

5. Insert the supplied power cord’s round end into the jack labeled POWER.

Depending on the model, your power supply plugs directly into a grounded outlet or

has a detachable cord that plugs into an outlet.

— If you have a wall-mount transformer, plug the transformer into a grounded AC

outlet.

— If you have a table-top transformer, verify that the cord is firmly attached to the

transformer, and plug the other end of the cord into a grounded AC outlet.

Install the supplied tie wrap for strain relief, as shown.

Installation of the hardware is now complete. When the power cord is installed, the

CSU/DSU goes through a power-on self-test.

Power-On

When power is applied, the CSU/DSU performs self-diagnostics and the PWR LED is

on. The self-diagnostics include a power-on self-test where all of the LEDs are on.

Refer to Status LEDs on page 11 for information about the LEDs. Refer to

Troubleshooting on page 12 for LED indications requiring action.

Troubleshooting

LED Symptom Action

All LEDs are on. If the LEDs remain on for more than ten minutes, the

CSU/DSU is not functional. Unplug the unit and reapply

power. If the ALM LED is still on, contact the service provider.

ALM LED only

remains on.

The power-on self-test may have failed. Unplug the unit and

reapply power. If the alarm LED is still on, contact the service

provider.

DSL LED is off. Verify that the DSL cable is securely installed on both ends.

Unplug the unit and reapply power. If the problem continues,

contact the service provider.

Port OK LED is off. Verify that the data port cable is securely installed at both

ends.

System OK LED is off. Check that the power cord is securely installed on both ends.

If no LEDs are on, the power supply may be defective. Test

the outlet to verify power. If the outlet has power and the

problem persists, contact your service representative.

If other LEDs are on, the OK LED may be burned out. Unplug

the unit and reapply power, and watch all LEDs as the unit

performs its power-on self-test. If the OK LED turns on then

turns off after the self-test, call your service representative.

TEST LED is on. A test initiated by the service provider may be active. Wait ten

minutes. If the LED does not go off, contact the service

provider.

13

Configuration Setup

Once the CSU/DSU is installed, it can be accessed locally through the menu-driven user

interface via an asynchronous terminal or PC connection, or remotely via a Telnet

session. The following provisioning can be set up:

 Frame relay and physical layer provisioning – Typically set up by the LEC (Local

Exchange Carrier) or CLEC (Competitive LEC) using the menu-driven user

interface via an ASCII terminal or PC running a terminal emulation program, or a

Telnet session.

 SLM provisioning – Typically set up by the frame relay service provider, LEC, or

CLEC.

As soon as the CSU/DSU’s COM port is connected to a terminal or PC, the menu-driven

user interface can be accessed. The terminal or PC’s configuration must be compatible

with the CSU/DSU’s COM port settings.

Procedure

To access the menu-driven user interface:

1. Verify the terminal or PC’s configuration:

— Data Rate is set to 19.2 kbps.

— Character Length is set to 8 data bits.

— Parity is set to None.

— Stop Bits is set to 1.

— Flow Control is set to None.

2. Press Enter to display the Main Menu.

14

If the Main Menu does not appear:

 Press Enter again

 Check the terminal or PC settings

 Refer to Troubleshooting in the iMarc SLV Operations Guide

Verifying that Self-Test Passed

To verify that the unit passed its self-test, go to the System and Test Status screen.

Main Menu→Status→System and Test Status

The results of the self-test appear directly under the screen title.

If any failure messages appear, reset the unit by disconnecting, then reconnecting the

power cord. The unit will perform the self-test again. If the failure reappears, call your

service representative for assistance.
