COMSPHERE 3550 Series Data Service Units

Connecting the DSU to a DTE

The DSU's rear panel has both a 25-pin EIA-232-D/ V.24 connector and a 34-pin CCITT V.35 connector (used for higher operating speeds). You can use either interface.

When the unit is equipped with a TDM/Flex, either of these interfaces can be used as Port 1. The TDM/Flex provides an additional interface to be used as Port 2. This is a D-type connector. If the port is to operate at a speed greater than 19.2 kbps, use the V.35 interconnect cable to provide an interface between the TDM/Flex's D-type connector and the DTE cable's V.35 connector.

Figure 2-7 shows a DSU as well as a DSU equipped

with a TDM/Flex. The DSU without TDM/Flex illustrates cabling for an EIA-232 application; the DSU with TDM/Flex illustrates cabling for V.35 applications. Refer to this figure as you connect your DSU to the data terminal equipment (DTE). Be sure to select the appropriate cable, EIA-232 or V.35, for your application.

.Procedure

1.Connect the plug end of the DTE cable to Port 1, either the EIA-232-D or the V.35 connector. (Figure 2-7 shows Port 1 using the EIA-232-D connector.)

Tighten the two holding screws.

2.Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate port on the computer or DTE.

Tighten any holding screws.

3.If necessary, activate the port to match the interface, either EIA-232 or V.35 (the default setting is EIA-232).
