Split one DDS line into
two high-speed
subchannels.
Easy configuration
and management.
Complete diagnostics.
Finds network faults
fast to minimize
downtime.
RS- 3 subchannel
runs at speeds up to
56 kbps; V.35 subchan-
nel operates up to
64 kbps.
Sync or async (RS- 3 )
or sync only (V.35)
operation.
I
f you’re craving for line savings,
Black Box has a piping-hot
solution that’s perfect for you.
The 2-Channel CSU/DSU
offers two independent high-
speed digital channels that simul-
taneously transfer data over one
DDS line. There are no monthly
bills for a second DDS line—and
no costs for additional hardware!
The CSU/DSU’s channels
operate at data rates between
2 00 bps and 56 or 6 kbps. Select
a combination of port speeds for
either async or sync operation.
The sum of the port speeds must
be less than (not equal to) the
selected line speed.
Configure Port 1 for V.35 or
RS-232 operation via its M/3 or
More for your money!
Run two channels over
a single DDS line.

DB25 connector. Port 2 is support-
ed with a single DB25 RS-232
interface.
Limited-distance modem
operation is also available when
the 2-Channel CSU/DSU is con-
figured with a master clock
setting. The unit can operate
error-free—up to 10 miles
(16.1 km)—at 6 kbps over
19-gauge copper wire!
A front-panel LCD display
provides a visual interface into
the unit’s menu system. The menu
system enables you to configure,
test, and monitor the unit’s
operation.
Three buttons allow for DDS
port and line settings (Advance)
management, selection of an oper-
ational display (Select), and
performing diagnostics (Enter).
Diagnostics include Self-Test,
Digital Loop, Local Loop, and
Remote Loop. The unit can quickly
isolate network faults and mini-
mize your network downtime—
and that means even greater
savings!
The 2-Channel CSU/DSU is
also foolproof. Even if the ports
are accidentally misconfigured,
a factory reset is as simple as
pressing all three buttons while
powering up. Factory reset
returns the CSU/DSU to original
settings, so you can easily fix
what went wrong.

WhatthePackageIncludes
Recognize any of these
situations?
• You wait more than 30
minutes to get through to a
vendor’s tech support.
• The so-called “tech” can’t
help you or gives you the
wrong answer.
• You don’t have a purchase
order number and the tech
refuses to help you.
• It’s 9 p. m. and you need help,
but your vendor’s tech
support line is closed.
According to a survey by Data
Communications magazine, 90%
of network managers surveyed
say that getting the technical
support they need is extremely
important when choosing a
vendor. But even though network
managers pay anywhere from 10
to 20% of their overall purchase
price for a basic service and
support contract, the technical
support and service they receive
falls far short of their
expectations—and certainly isn’t
worth what they paid.
At Black Box, we guarantee
the best value and the best
support. You can even consult our
Technical Support Experts before
you buy if you need help selecting
just the right component for your
application.
Don’t waste time and
money—call Black Box today.
