信道服务单元 (CSU) 向广域网线路发送或从该线路接收信号,并从该单元的两边都提供一个电干扰屏蔽。 CSU 还能够返回电话公司用于检测的回送信号。数据服务单元( DSU )管理着线路控制功能,并介于局域网上的 RS -232C 、 RS-449 或 V.35 数据帧和 T-1 线路上的时分复用 (TDM) DSX 数据帧之间转换输入与输出。 DSU 控制着定时误差和信号的刷新。 DSU 在作为数据终端设备( DTE )的计算机与 CSU 之间提供类似于调制解调器的连接。
CSU/DSU 作为单独的产品进行生产,但有时也被当作 T-1WAN 网卡的一部分。 CSU/DSU 的数据终端设备接口通常兼容 V.xx 和 RS -232C 或类似的串行接口。
CSU/DSU stands for Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit. This is the device connected to the incoming data communications line, usually a T1 or Fractional T1 line. This is actually two devices in one. The channel service unit recovers channelized (multiplexed) data, while the data service unit strips off the encoding used to package the data.
Typically, the CSU/DSU needs to be informed of the frame encoding (B8ZS, Bipolar 8 Zero Substitution, or AMI, Alternate Mark Inversion), the frame encapsulation technique (either D4 Superframe, or ESF, Extended Super Frame), the clock source (usually the network), the channel capacity (usually 64kbps), and the number of channels (1 for 64kbps, 2 for 128kbps, 24 for 1.536Mbps).
Adtran makes a very reliable and easy to configure CSU/DSU which they refer to as a TSU, for T1 Service Unit.
The TSU is connected to a router via a V.35 cable.
