For line rates of 56 and 64 kbps, it is possible to operate the DTE interface at a lower rate. To do this, set these switches to 56 or 64 kbps and set the Rate Converter/DTE Rate switches as required.

Circuit Assurance

On dedicated circuits, the transmitter and the CTS output can be configured to go On only when a working communication circuit is established. If Circuit Assurance is used, enable it on only one end of the communication link. In Switched 56 mode, this switch should be set to On on both ends of the circuit.
