Introduction

This section illustrates several types of applications in which the MT56DSU-S is typically used. These types
include:
Local Area Data Set
DDS point-to-point application
DDS multipoint (polled) application

Local Area Data Set Application

In this application, two pairs of wires provide the connection between two MT56DSU-S devices. The two pairs
can be up to the equivalent of 3 miles of AWG #26 wire at 56 Kbps, or longer for subrate applications.
The figure below depicts a typical Local Area Data Set application.

DDS Point-To-Point Application

In this application, the MT56DSU-S provides the interface between the DDS line and the DTE at your site.
Your network provider will provide (at your request) a DDS line connecting the desired locations. The figure
below depicts a sample DDS Point-to-point application.
