Overview

The ACCULINK

r

DSU/CSU acts as an interface between the T1 digital network

and the customer premises equipment, converting signals received from the DTE

lines. Typical applications include shared access to network-based services,
Local Area Network (LAN)/Wide Area Network (WAN) interconnection, and
fractional T1 network applications.

In addition to the T1 network interface and the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1)
interface, the Model 3162 provides two synchronous data ports.
