MICRO T1 CSU/DSU CERTIFICATION NOTICE FOR EQUIPMENT USED IN CANADA The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications-network protective, operation, and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
2. Introduction 2.1 Description The Micro T1 CSU/DSU supports a single T1 or Fractional T1 connection at data rates of 1.544 Mbps (unstructured), n × 64, and n × 56. Plug the Micro T1 CSU/DSU directly into the WAN port of a switch, router, or multiplexor.
2.3.2 A PEED HORT ANGE ODEM The Micro T1 CSU/DSU can also be installed in high-speed campus applications. In this application, a pair of Micro T1 CSU/DSUs operate as short-range modems. Bridge/Router Micro T1 CSU/DSU 1.544 Mbps or nx56/64 Bridge/Router...
CHAPTER 3: Configuration 3. Configuration Before operating the Micro T1 CSU/DSU, you must configure it to match both the DTE and Network Interface parameters using the DIP-switch packages on the bottom of the printed circuit board (see Figure 3-1) or via software using the RS-232 control port.

MICRO T1 CSU/DSU DIP S SW1-SW8 WITCHES The configuration switches on the DIP switches allow you to specify data rates, line framing and coding, DS0 rate, clock mode, starting channel, and Line Build-Out (LBO). Factory-default settings of all switches are shown in the table below.
Page 14
CHAPTER 3: Configuration SW1-8, SW1-7, SW1-6, SW1-5, SW1-4 WITCHES These switches set the DTE data rate. Each setting represents an n × 56/n × 64 setting. Table 3-3 shows the switch settings and the achieved DTE data rate. Table 3-3. DTE Data Rate. SW1-4 SW1-5 SW1-6 SW1-7 SW1-8 DTE Data Rate 1544 kbps (unframed)
Page 15
13 × 64 kbps (channels 12–24), or 832 kbps. Keep this in mind when setting the starting channel. The Micro T1 CSU/DSU will flash the ERR indicator LED if the switch setting is invalid. Refer to Section 5.1 for a more detailed explanation of the ERR LED function.
Page 16
CHAPTER 3: Configuration SW2-6 SW2-5 L WITCHES UILD These switches are used to set the line build out (LBO). The LBO controls the pulse shape and attenuation of the signal sent to the network. The amount of LBO depends on the distance to the nearest repeater. The telephone company providing the T1 service will advise you of the required LBO setting.

This switch is used to set the frame. There are three framing modes available in the Micro T1 CSU/DSU: ESF, D4, and Unframed. When SW1-4 through SW1-8 are turned off, the unit is set to unframed operation, and SW2-3 is ignored. Otherwise, SW2-3 is used to set the frame to either ESF or D4.

NOTE When using the Micro T1 CSU/DSU to terminate the telephone company’s T1 service, the Micro T1 CSU/DSU must be set to network clock. When using the CSU/DSU as a high-speed short-range modem, one unit of the link must be configured for Internal Clock mode, and the unit on the opposite end must be configured for Network Clock mode.
The Micro T1 CSU/DSU is powered via a supplied external transformer, which connects to the barrel jack on the rear of the Micro T1 CSU/DSU. The Micro T1 CSU/DSU can also be powered via the DTE interface when supplied with 5 VDC @...
CHAPTER 5: Operation 5. Operation Once the Micro T1 CSU/DSU is installed and configured properly, it is ready to place into operation. 5.1 LED Descriptions The Micro T1 CSU/DSU is equipped with seven LEDs that monitor the status of communication. Figure 5-1 shows the location of the LEDs on the Micro T1 CSU/DSU.

MICRO T1 CSU/DSU Errored Second: In ESF or SF framing, if the unit detects a frame error, the ERR LED will flash briefly once a second. Framing Mismatch: The ERR LED flashes briefly once a second when framing modes are mismatched.
5.2 Central Office Loops The Micro T1 CSU/DSU also responds to central-office-initiated loop commands. When in D4 framing mode, the Micro T1 CSU/DSU will implement the “loop up” command when it recognizes the pattern “10000” in the data stream for a minimum of 5 seconds.
MICRO T1 CSU/DSU Appendix A. Cable Recommendations The Micro T1 CSU/DSU operates at frequencies of 20 kHz or less and has been performance tested using twisted-pair cable with the following characteristics: Wire Gauge Capacitance Resistance 19 AWG 83 nf/mi. or 15.72 pf/ft.
