3.0 CONFIGURATION
The Model 2720 features configuration capability via hardware
DIP switches or a software control port. This section describes all pos-
sible hardware and software switch configurations of the NetLink-T1™.
3.1 DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION
The Model 2720 has two eight bit DIP switches that allow configu-
ration for a wide range of applications. The switches are externally
accessable by removing the plate on the bottom side of the unit.
Figure 1 (below) shows the location of the DIP switches on the bottom
of the printed circuit board.
DIP Switches S1 and S2 can be configured as either “On” or “Off”.
Figure 2 (below) shows the orientation of the DIP switches with respect
to ON/OFF positions. Default position and descriptions for Switches
S1 and S2 are provided on pages 6-10.

2.2 GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The
NetLink-T1™ Model 2720 Series are single port T1/FT1
CSU/DSUs that provide high-speed WAN connectivity. Plugging directly into
the serial WAN port of a switch, router or multiplexer, the NetLink-T1™ pro-
vides T1 or FT1 access at connection data rates of 1.544 Mbps, nx64, and
nx56 (n=1 to 24 channels). The Netlink-T1™ is an excellent choice when
terminating leased line services, Frame Relay backbones, internet access
as well as LAN-to-LAN services.
The Netlink-T1™ provides digital access to a local WAN service
provider or directly between two facilities over a dedicated 4-Wire circuit.
WAN bandwidth, framing and coding options are programmed via externally
accessible DIP switches or via a VT-100 type terminal using the rear-
mounted EIA-232 Control Port. Netlink-T1™ supports D4/ESF framing
options and AMI/B8ZS/B7ZS line coding. Netlink-T1™ also supports a full
range of system and diagnostic features that make system setup easy.
The NetLink-T1™ provides T1 terminations over a modular RJ-48C jack
and comply with jitter tolerance capabilities as specified in ANSI T1.403 and
AT&T TR62411. External power options include 120VAC and universal
interface 100-240VAC. 48VDC and rack card versions are also available.
