directly access the OCU port on the D4 channel bank by first passing the signal through a digital service
unit (DSU) that is set to communicate at 2.4, 4.8, 9.6, or 56 kbps. The signal passes from the terminal,
through the DSU, to the OCU data-port card on the D4 channel bank. The T1 channel that the OCU data-
port card creates is devoid of signaling so it can pass the digital data untouched. At the central office, the
channel is selected from T1 input for special handling and is directed to DDS where it is forwarded to its
destination. The destination terminal or host must also be equipped with a DSU.
