B8ZS – Indicates the line coding format used by the DSX-1 interface is B8ZS.
Line Equalization
Possible Settings: 0–133, 133–266, 266–399, 399–533, 533–655
Default Setting: 0–133
Compensates for signal distortion for a DSX-1 signal over a given distance.
0–133 feet – Provides equalization for a cable length up to 133 feet.
133–266 feet – Provides equalization for a cable length up to 266 feet.
266–399 feet – Provides equalization for a cable length up to 399 feet.
