6500PLUS Integral DSU

Introduction

The 6500PLUS Integral DSU option is intended for use in installations

 

requiring connection to a DDS interface, conforming to AT&T 62310 or ANSI

 

T1E1.4/91-006, and running at a rate of 56 kbps. At present, this optional DSU

 

interface is only available with VanguardMS 6500PLUS enclosures using a 25-pin D

 

connector interface.

 

The DSU option normally uses clocking derived from the network interface, but may

 

also be configured to originate the clocking, thus providing the standard DSU and

 

CSU loopbacks. Installation of the DSU option requires a hardware and software

 

upgrade to the base 6500PLUS product.

Hardware

 

The DSU option consists of two hardware modules, the Data Interface Module

Components

(DIM) and the External Interface Module (EIM).

DIM

 

The DSU DIM is a small (approximately 1 in. x 3.5 in.) circuit card installed as a

 

daughtercard onto the 6500PLUS processor card. The DIM module provides the

 

proper power to the EIM and also performs the data translation functions.

EIM

 

The EIM, shown in Figure 1-7,contains the telco interface circuitry portion of the

option.The EIM has an 18 in. cable with a 25-pin connection for interface with the 6500PLUS unit, and an RJ-48S jack for connection to the DDS line.

Example of an EIM Figure 1-7shows the EIM.

DSU Interface

 

The DIM and EIM modules work cooperatively to provide a DSU interface and must

 

 

be installed together for proper operation. These devices are only intended for use

 

 

with VanguardMS 6500PLUS equipment.
