Typical applications include Local Area Network(LAN)/Wide Area Network (WAN) interconnection,shared access to network-based services, and fractional E1network applications.The E1 DSU/CSU series of products consists of aModel 3172 DSU/CSU (2-port) and a Model 3174DSU/CSU (4-port). Differences between these models arediscussed where applicable throughout this guide.FeaturesThe E1 DSU/CSU optimizes network performancewith a wide range of features such as the following:• Software configuration menu displayed via a liquidcrystal display (LCD) to permit quick and easyoperation and elimination of complicated hardwarestrapping.• Local or remote configuration and operationflexibility.• Several loopback capabilities and test patterngenerators.• DTE drop/insert capability.• Alarm message display/print capability.• Front panel emulation via Windows-based FrontPanel Emulation software.• Network management provided throughindustry-standard Simple Network ManagementProtocol (SNMP).1
