The ADTRAN ® TSU ACE ™ is a low cost,
full-featured T1/FT1 Data Service/ Channel
Service Unit (DSU/CSU). The TSU ACE pro-
vides an interface between T1 or Fractional
T1 service and the end user’s Data Terminal
Equipment (DTE) for applications such as
LAN-to-LAN bridging, Frame Relay circuit
termination and video-conferencing. The
TSU ACE provides access to traditional dedi-
cated point-to-point T1 services as well as
network termination for Frame Relay.
Housed in a compact, durable plastic
housing the TSU ACE supports synchronous
data rates from 56 kbps to 1.536 Mbps at Nx56
or Nx64 kbps. A single V.35 physical interface
provides a connection to the end user’s
DTE equipment.
For configuration and testing, the TSU ACE
provides the capability for remote control
from a host TSU through the T1 FDL channel.
If the FDL channel is unavailable, the host
TSU can use 8 kbps of the data traffic to
provide configuration and control of the
remote TSU ACE. The in-band control
channel is used on an as-needed basis and
is automatically controlled by the host TSU.
The TSU ACE responds to standard local
and remote loopback commands from the
telephone company central office. In addi-
tion, the user has several built-in test
capabilities including V.54 remote loopback
and 511 BERT test patterns. Complete config-
uration and performance data is available
from the front panel keypad and two-line by
16 character LCD display.
The ADTRAN TSU ACE desktop unit also
provides integrated keyholes in the bottom
housing for wall mount applications or can
be rackmounted using ADTRAN’s custom
designed 19” shelves.
ADTRAN provides several T1 DSU/CSUs
for a variety of customer applications.
Additional products in the TSU family include
the TSU LT
™ , TSU ESP ™ , TSU 100 ™ , TSU 120 ™ ,
TDU 120 ™ and the TSU 600 ™ . These T1/FT1
DSU/CSUs offer flexibility, modularity and
end user configuration. The modular
approach allows the ADTRAN TSU family to
serve in point to point T1 applications with a
mixture of voice, data and video.
