1.4CSU/DSU Basics
A DSU (Data Service Unit) and a CSU (Channel Service Unit) are typically connected to provide the interface between DTE (data terminal equipment) and a DDS or other
The DSU processes serial synchronous digital data over the DDS network or other
The
1.4.1 DSU Functions
The DSU encodes data as pulses on the communications line by converting the customer data stream to bipolar format for transmission over the digital network.
1.4.2 CSU Functions
The CSU terminates the digital circuit at the customer site. It performs line conditioning functions, ensures network compliance with FCC rules, and responds to test commands (either from the Telco central office (CO) or from the DSU).
The figure below shows the MT56DSU-S in a basic DDS network installation.
