Chapter 1. Understanding ISDN and the ISU 2x64

The ISU 2x64 allows the user to migrate ISDN into existing net- work services and data communications equipment. The ISU 2x64 interoperates with ISU 128s, Switched 56 DSUs, various ISDN terminal adapters, and BONDING inverse multiplexers (for example ASCEND®, PROMPTUS, and Teleos®). For instance, in a video conferencing application, this compatibility allows the ISU 2x64 to interoperate with networks utilizing two Switched 56 DSUs.

The ISU 2x64 front panel accommodates a 2-line by 16-character LCD display. Seven LED indicators monitor data flow and dis- play the status of key DTE interface leads (see Table 1-A and Fig- ure 1-2). A front panel keypad supports configuration, test modes, test status, and dialing.
