Introduction
TSU 100 OVERVIEW
This manual covers the use of the following products:
• TSU 100
• TSU 100e
Unless otherwise stated, the TSU 100 refers to both products.
The TSU 100 is a T1/FT1 multiplexer with an Nx56/64 V.35
data port, one option slot and embedded SNMP management.
The TSU 100e also offers a built-in dial back-up feature for the
Nx port. The TSU 100’s option slot accepts one of many avail-
able option modules for voice and data applications.
The TSU 100 serves as the link between user data sources such
as local area network (LAN) bridges and routers, computers,
CAD systems, teleconferencing equipment, and PBXs. Through
the use of multiple data ports, the TSU 100 can simultaneously
connect one or more of these devices to a T1 circuit. The
amount of bandwidth allocated to each port is custom-pro-
grammable. You can manually allocate bandwidth or set the
bandwidth to automatically change at predetermined times to
use the available bandwidth most advantageously. Changes in
the configuration do not disrupt data flow in channels that are
not being reconfigured. The unique architecture and the avail-
ability of option modules provides a path for growth to accom-
modate future requirements.
