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,
the Model 3163 provides one synchronous data port.

Features

The Model 3163 DSU/CSU optimizes network
performance with a wide range of features such as the
following:
•Software configuration menu displayed via a liquid
crystal display (LCD) to permit quick and easy
operation, and elimination of complicated hardware
strapping.
•Local or remote configuration and operation
flexibility.
•Several loopback capabilities and test pattern
generators.
•Alarm message display/print capability.
•Front panel emulation via Windows-based Front
Panel Emulation software.
•Integral modem for standalone DSU/CSUs.
•Asynchronous (async) terminal interface support.
•Telnet access for remote async terminal operations.
