1. The UMI Console interface may be used for console activities and the initial configuration It assumes the connected device is configured as 9600 baud 8 bits and no parity 2 2 3 10 100 BaseT and Fiber LAN The DTK41 LAN and Fiber ports are used for IP network connectivity The UMI supports Internet peer level protocols e g IP TCP UDP ICMP and SNMP All of the 10 100 ports are fully switched not bridged The capacity of the switch is over 1Gbps The 10 100 and Fiber ports are managed from the UMI console Each 10 100 port and the Fiber port may be enabled or disabled individually Alarms are generated if a link is established or if a link is lost An advanced feature DTK41 is that no crossover cable is ever required on the 10 100 ports The 10 100 ports will automatically correct for the cabling mismatch The 10 100 ports will self configure to match the speed of the link 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps and the Duplex Full or Half No configuration is required The Fiber interface connects to the industry standard SC cabling If ST cabling is used the DTK41 ST plug in module is used No adapter cables are required 2 2 4 DSU The UMI does not utilize the DSU interface at this time The DTK41 DSU 4 wire interface is software configurable for T1 or E1 rates A value of T1 is used for domestic 1 544 MHz interfaces with 193 Bit Superframes A value of E1 is used for European 2 048 MHz interfaces with 256 Bit Superframes The DSU functional
