Overview

The ACCULINK® 316x 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 3160 provides two synchronous data ports while the Model 3164 provides four synchronous data ports. The Model 3165 provides one synchronous data port, but does not provide the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface.

The Model 3161 (carrier-mounted DSU/CSU) provides two ports in addition to the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface and is designed to fit into the COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier.

For more information about the carrier-mounted DSU/CSU, refer to the ACCULINK 3151 CSU and 3161 DSU/CSU General Information Guide and the COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier Installation Manual.
