1. 1 About the DC3445
The DC3445 is used to connect high performance bridges and routers to high speed E3 or
DS3 services. The DC3445 interfaces an E3 service (34.368 Mbps) or a DS3 service (44.736
Mbps) and Data Terminal equipment presenting a High Speed Serial Interface (HSSI). The
E3/DS3 selection is made by setting a bit-switch mounted on the base of the unit. DC3445’s
are used in pairs, one on either side of a WAN (Wide Area Network) link.
