Possible Settings: LTU, NTU
Default Setting: NTU
Controls whether the unit is configured as a control unit or tributary unit.
LTU – The unit is configured as a control unit (Line Termination Unit).

request its IP address from the LTU during establishment of the PPP link.
NOTE: Changing this option will reset the card.
Test Timeout
Possible Settings: Enable, Disable
Default Setting: Enable
Allows user-initiated tests to end automatically. The feature should be enabled when the
unit is remotely managed, so that control can be regained after a test is accidentally
executed.
Enable – User-initiated loopback and pattern tests end when test duration is reached.
Disable – Tests can be terminated manually from the Network Tests screen. Refer to
Running Network Tests
in Chapter 5,
Testing
.
NOTE: Tests commanded by the DTE or network-initiated tests are not affected by
this test timeout.
