MULTIPORT CSU/DSU
4. Installation
After you properly configure the CSU/DSU, you’re ready to connect it to the serial
port, twisted-pair interface, and power source. This section explains how to make
these connections.
4.1 Connecting the Serial Port
The serial port interface on the CSU/DSU uses interchangeable modules to
connect to your DTE. Each module has a 50-pin card-edge connector on one side
and a serial port on the other.
Figure 4-1
shows how an interface module plugs into
the back of the CSU/DSU.

page 10
for a
complete list of available modules), follow these steps.
To install an interface module:
1. Make sure the power switch is off. Leave the power cord plugged into a
grounded outlet to keep the CSU/DSU grounded.
2. Hold the module with the faceplate toward you and align the module with
the guide slots in the rear panel of the CSU/DSU.
