Character Length
In asynchronous data format, 10 and 11 bit characters are
supported. This setting is ignored in synchronous data format.

Data Format
The data format selection controls whether an async-to-sync
conversion is performed. (Data is always transferred synchronously
between the two CSU/DSU’s)

Data Format

Asynchronous
Off
Synchronous
Note
1
: The async rate of 57.6 kbps is supported at the 56kbps line
rate, provided the DTE equipment transmits two stop bits. Two stop
bits can be configured on most DTE equipment. This extra stop bit
reduces the DTE’s effective data rate by a few percent to allow
synchronization with the 56kbps line speed.
Note
2
: Lower speed asynchronous data can be transmitted on
synchronous circuits by simple over-sampling. To do this, leave Data
Format set to synchronous. Make sure the CSU/DSU’s sync data rate
is at least 4 times more than the async data rate you wish to send.
DSR Loop Status
The behavior of the DSR output during performance of a local
loop can be controlled.

4.1.2 SWITCH SET SW2
The configuration switches on switch SW2 control the Rate
Adapter/DTE Rate, Clock Mode, Anti-Stream Timer and RTS/CTS
Delay. Figure 5 (below) summarizes SW2 switch settings, including the
factory defaults. Following Figure 4 is a description of each switch
setting.
Rate Adapter/DTE Rate
The Model 2500 Series includes a rate adapter that allows the unit
to be used with DTE devices that support rates lower than 56/64 kbps.
All switch settings below are valid for line rates of 56 or 64 kbps.

Note: for DTE devices that operate at 57.6 kbps, set the Line Rate to
56 kbps (see Section 4.1.1), set the rate adapter for “Line Rate=DTE
Rate”, and configure your DTE device for two stop bits (set character
length accordingly).
