Chapter 1
Introduction
GENERAL
The Telenetics FT 100S Fractional T1 CSU/DSU combines a single
channel, fractional T1 DSU with a T1 ESF CSU. The unit interfaces
customer premise data and voice equipment to a T1 transmission
facility. High speed workstations, local and wide area networks
(WANs), Private Branch Exchanges (PBXs), facsimiles, and host
computers are examples of customer equipment which may communi-
cate over public or private T1 networks using the FT 100S.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The FT 100S receives serial data from the customer Data Terminal
Equipment (DTE) and multiplexes it onto a 1.544 Mbps DS-1 signal.
The DS-1 signal interfaces to the T1 network via an integral ESF CSU.
The DTE ports enable data rates from 56 kbps to 1.536 Mbps. The unit
complies with DTE interface standards for V.35 and supports all Frac-
tional T1 applications.
Network management and configuration for the FT 100S are provided
by several methods. A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) front panel
accesses all configuration and diagnostic options. An RS-232 rear panel
interface labeled
CONTROL allows configuring and testing the unit
via terminal, computer, or remotely via modem. When the RM16M
model is installed in the LocalView Shelf, configuration and diagnostics
are accessible via the LocalView terminal. Operating parameters are
stored in nonvolatile memory.
