TSU 120 OVERVIEW

This manual covers the use of the following products:

TSU 120

TSU 120e

Unless otherwise stated, the TSU 120 refers to both products.

The TSU 120 is a T1/FT1 multiplexer with an Nx56/64 V.35 data port, a DSX-1 (PBX) interface, one option slot, and embed- ded SNMP management. The TSU 120e offers a built-in dial back up feature for the Nx port. The TSU 120’s option slot accepts one of many available option modules for voice and data applications.

The TSU 120 links user data sources such as local area network (LAN) bridges and routers, computers, CAD systems, telecon- ferencing equipment, and PBXs. Through the use of multiple data ports, the TSU 120 can simultaneously connect one or more of these devices to a T1 circuit. The amount of bandwidth allocated to each port is custom-programmable. You can manu- ally allocate bandwidth or set the bandwidth to automatically change at predetermined times to use the available bandwidth most advantageously. Changes in the configuration do not dis- rupt data flow in channels that are not being reconfigured. The unique architecture and the availability of option modules pro- vides a path for growth to accommodate future requirements.
