• Made in USA 2.2 GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Model 2710A Series are single port T1/FT1 CSU/DSUs that pro- vide V35 Conversion and high-speed WAN connectivity in an ultra-com- pact housing. Plugging directly into the V.35 WAN port of a switch, router or multiplexer, the Model 2710A provides T1 or FT1 access at connection at data rates of 1.544 Mbps, nx64, and nx56 (n=1 to 24 channels).
2.3.2 The 2710A as a High-Speed Short Range Modem The Model 2710A can also be installed into high-speed campus Figure 1. Model 2710A Series bottom view, showing location of DIP switches applications. In this application, a pair of Model 2710A units operate as short range modems (see below).

3.1.1 DIP Switches SW1 and SW2 Switches SW1.8, SW1.7, SW1.6, SW1.5 & SW1.4: DTE Data Rate The configuration switches on the DIP switch pack will allow you to These switches set the DTE date rate. Each setting represents specify data rates, line framing and coding, DSO rate, clock mode and an nx56/nx64 setting.

Switches SW1.3 SW1.2, SW1.1, SW 2.8 & SW2.7: T1 Starting Switches SW2.6 & SW2.5: Line Build Out Channel These switches are used to set the line build out (LBO). The LBO These switches set the starting channel. The starting channel is controls the pulse shape and attenuation of the signal sent to the net- the first channel that carries valid data.

3.2.2 System Configuration ESF: This stands for Extended Superframe Format, a line format developed by AT&T. AT&T Technical Reference 54016 (TR The default System Configuration menu looks like this: 54016) defines the ESF, a format which is commonly used to allow monitoring of the network interface performance over the Facility Data Link (FDL).
