Features

The four-wire 56k Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit (CSU/DSU) implements switched 56k and Digital Data Storage (DDS or leased line) operation, and also:

• Supports DDS loop rates 2.4, 4.8, 9.6, 19.2, 38.4, 56, and 64 kbps.

• Supports Switched 56 operation at 56 kbps (AT&T Pub. 41458, Sprint TS-0046)

• Has receiver sensitivity of -45db at all loop rates.

• Has these diagnostic functions:

  • Self Test Function (at power on and user initiated) Network line, and data terminal equipment (DTE) loopbacks.

  • User initiated DTE, line, and remote V.54 loopbacks.

Supported Platforms

Sample Configuration

Here is a sample configuration suitable for a WIC-1DSU-56K4 interface card.

Note: There are no framing or linecode commands. This is because the 56k card is not a T1, and does not relate to timeslots. There are 24 timeslots in a T1:

Note: 24 x 64 DS0s=1.544m

Note: This card is strictly 56k, and timeslots are not relevant. Here is the configuration:

interface serial 0/0
service-module 56k clock rate 56
service-module 56k clock source internal
ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
encapsulation ppp
no shut
