Application Configurations

Multipoint Applications

Model 3550 and Model 3551 DSUs also provide high-speed multipoint circuit support. The network can be controlled from the DSU's control panel or a 6700 Series NMS. Figure E-2 shows sample multipoint configurations.

Using this application, backup is provided via modems rather than a DBM. In this case, a matrix switch at the control site switches data from the FEP ports to the modems.

On the tributary side of the configurations, either standalone Model 3550 DSUs equipped with DBMs or connected to an external DBU are shown.
