Which of these devices you use depends on the type of telco line to which you are connecting one of the router’s wide area interfaces.
ϖNote: Before attempting to connect the RISC Router 3500R to a leased telco line, use the loopback features of your CSU/DSU to check the line. This can save you a considerable amount of time, since the more equipment you have on the line, the more difficult it becomes to determine where a problem is occurring.
