interface with the radio unit (RAU).
• Switch Multiplexer Unit (SMU) providing additional 2 Mbit/s traffic interfaces,
2/8 and 8/34 Mbit/s multiplexers, switches and control functions for 1+1
protected systems and interfaces with the MMU.
• Service Access Unit (SAU) providing parallel input/output ports, external
alarm channel interfaces and service channel interfaces.
