Introduction 1
Overview
The DSU/CSU acts as an interface between the T1 digital network and the
customer premises equipment, converting signals received from the DTE (Data
Terminal Equipment) to bipolar signals that can be transmitted over T1 lines.
Typical applications include shared access to network-based services, Local Area
Network (LAN)/Wide Area Network (WAN) interconnection, and fractional T1
network applications.
In addition to the T1 network interface and the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1)
interface, the Model 3162 provides two synchronous data ports.
Features
The DSU/CSU optimizes network performance with a wide range of features such
as the following:
Local or remote configuration and operation flexibility.
Several loopback capabilities and test pattern generators.
DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) capability.
Asynchronous terminal interface support.
