Overview
The ACCULINK 316x Series ESF T1 Data Service
Unit (DSU)/Channel Service Unit (CSU) acts as an
interface between the T1 digital network and the
Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), converting signals
received from the DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) to
bipolar signals that can be transmitted over T1 and
Fractional T1 lines. Typical applications include Local
Area Network (LAN)/Wide Area Network (WAN)
interconnection, channel extension, and video
teleconferencing.
In addition to the T1 Drop/Insert port, the ACCULINK
Model 3160 provides two DTE ports while the
ACCULINK Model 3164 provides four DTE ports.
The ACCULINK Model 3161 provides two ports in
addition to the T1 Drop/Insert port and is designed to fit
into the COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier.
Differences between these models are discussed where
applicable throughout this manual.
