Overview
The E1 DSU/CSU offers functionality through Front
Panel Emulation software that is similar to that provided
by the E1 DSU/CSU front panel. The E1 DSU/CSU can
either be locally or remotely attached to a 386 or higher
PC that has at least 4 MB of RAM. (An external modem is
required for remote attachment.) A copy of the E1
DSU/CSU front panel appears on the PC. The
functionality of the front panel is available by clicking on
the Function keys with the mouse rather than by pressing
keys from the actual front panel.

This software must be installed on a 386 or higher PC
