Router (DTE)

Figure 4-3. Router Connects Directly to an External CSU/DSU.
If your public carrier does not provide the DSU, the router must include a built-
in DSU. You will then use UTP cable with RJ-48C connectors to connect the
router to the external CSU. (See Figure 4-4.)

Figure 4-4. Router with a Built-in DSU Connects Directly to the External CSU.
If your public carrier does not provide the CSU/DSU, the router must include
a built-in CSU/DSU. In this case, the public carrier provides a wall jack on your
premises to connect your router to the local loop, and you use UTP cable with
RJ-48C connectors to connect the router to the wall jack. (See Figure 4-5.)
