Overview
The E1 DSU/CSU acts as an interface between the E1
digital network (as specified in ITU-T standards G.703
and G.704) and the customer premises equipment,
converting signals received from the DTE (Data Terminal
Equipment) to signals that can be transmitted over E1
lines. Typical applications include Local Area Network
(LAN)/Wide Area Network (WAN) interconnection,
shared access to network-based services, and fractional E1
network applications.
The E1 DSU/CSU series of products consists of a
Model 3172 DSU/CSU (2-port) and a Model 3174
DSU/CSU (4-port). Differences between these models are
discussed where applicable throughout this guide.
