Figure 1-1. T1 ESF CSU ACE Application

The T1 ESF CSU ACE provides surge protection, signal regeneration, alarms, and loopbacks necessary for circuit operation and fault isolation. The unit provides the simultaneous use of performance report messages of ANSI T1.403 and maintenance messages of AT&T TR54016. The T1 ESF CSU ACE also provides conversion from SF to ESF framing formats, allowing older SF data terminal equipment (DTE) to take advantage of the superior diagnostic capabilities of ESF T1 facilities.

The unit complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules and with applicable sections of AT&T 62411, ANSI T1.102, and T1.403.
