tion over the DDS or 4-wire Switched 56 networks.
This unit is an all rate DSU/CSU, supporting services from 2.4 to 64 kbps
including 19.2 and 38.4 kbps services. The DSU III ARdc may be used in
either point-to-point or multi-point circuits.
The DSU III ARdc provides both V.35 and EIA-232 electrical and physical
DTE interfaces to accommodate a variety of applications. To insure a reli-
able connection, the unit features an extended receiver capability which
permits operation over long loops (3.4 miles or 5.5 km of 26 AWG at
56 kbps).
