Preparing for the Control Session 

4-1 

The configuration of ASM-60 is performed via menu-driven embedded software 
using a standard ASCII terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation application 
connected to the front panel CONTROL DCE port. This terminal can be used for 
performing the following management activities supported by ASM-60: 
•  Modifying setup configuration 
•  Monitoring of device status and settings 
•  Collect performance statistics 
•  Restarting ASM-60. 

This section describes how to prepare ASM-60 and supervisory terminal for the 
control session. 

ASM-60 includes a V.24/RS-232 asynchronous DCE port, designated CONTROL 

DCE and terminated in a 9-pin D-type female connector. The control port 
continuously monitors the incoming data stream and will immediately respond to 
any input string received through this port. 
The terminal can be connected either directly to the ASM-60 control port, or 
through a modem or any other type of full-duplex data link. The ASM-60 control 
port interface type must be set in accordance with the connection method, as 
follows: 

Any standard ASCII terminal (a “dumb” terminal or a personal computer running 
terminal emulation application) equipped with a V.24/RS-232 communication 
interface can be used to configure ASM-60. 

The control lines used in each DCE and DTE mode and the direction of the control 
signals are detailed in the following table.
