Checking the Status of the
DSU/CSU

You can request various types of status information

from the 316x DSU/CSU’s front panel. Access this
information from the Status branch of the front panel
menu tree (see Figure 3-33).

Figure 3-33. Status Branch

Differences Using the Async Terminal: Figure 3-34

shows the menu hierarchy for the Status branch when
using the async terminal.

Figure 3-34. Async Terminal Status Branch

Device Health and Status

Use the Device Health and Status branch to view

current health and status information of the DSU/CSU.
When you access this branch, one or more status messages
display in priority order (highest to lowest) on Line 2 of
the LCD. On the front panel, use the scroll keys to view
any additional messages. Table 3-9 lists these messages in
priority order.

The DSU/CSU is polled for current status every ten

seconds. If the status has changed from the last poll, the
Health and Status screen is updated and the highest
priority message is redisplayed. The message DSU/CSU
Operational
appears when there are no other messages.

Differences Using the Async Terminal: The menu

structure for the Status branch changes slightly from the
front panel to allow you to display health and status
information from one screen. To do this, select Health,
Test Status
, and Self Test Results from the main/status
menu. Figure 2-10 in Chapter 2 shows an example of this
results screen.
