1.In the CSU field, select External.

2.In the Line Buildout field, select the length of the cable that connects the PRI network interface module to the CSU.

To use the T1 PRI network interface module as an internal CSU, you must specify the following information on the PRI Setup screen (System Info > Admin Setup > Video Network > IMUX > PRI Network > PRI Setup):

1.In the CSU field, select Internal.

2.In the Line Buildout field, select an appropriate dB setting. The telephone company usually determines the dB value by measuring the characteristics of the line. If an external CSU was previously used, use the setting selected for that CSU. Otherwise, start with 0.
