Overview

The ACCULINKr 316x Series ESF T1 Data Service Unit (DSU)/Channel Service Unit (CSU) acts as an interface between the T1 digital network and the Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), converting signals received from the DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) to bipolar signals that can be transmitted over T1 and Fractional T1 lines. Typical applications include Local Area Network (LAN)/Wide Area Network (WAN) interconnection, channel extension, and video teleconferencing.

In addition to the T1 Drop/Insert port, the ACCULINK Model 3160 provides two DTE ports while the ACCULINK Model 3164 provides four DTE ports.

The ACCULINK Model 3161 provides two ports in addition to the T1 Drop/Insert port and is designed to fit into the COMSPHEREr 3000 Series Carrier.

Differences between these models are discussed where applicable throughout this manual.

The 316x DSU/CSU optimizes network performance with a wide range of benefits such as the following:

•Software configuration menu displayed via an LCD to permit quick and easy operation and elimination of complicated hardware strapping.

•Flash memory software download capability to ensure investment protection.

•Trouble-free installation facilitated by two factory installed settings which anticipate the most common applications: either D4 or ESF framing standards, and B8ZS or AMI line coding standards.

•Security features to ensure network integrity.

•Network management for 3160/3164 DSU/CSUs provided through industry-standard SNMP.

•Multipower source acceptance.

•Local or remote configuration and operation flexibility.

•Several loopback capabilities, test pattern generators and external contact closure for DTE loopback support.
