Description
CT-128, a desktop Multiple Rate IDSL NTU, combines the
Network Terminating Unit (NTU) with the multi-rate Data
Service Unit (DSU) in one small delicate enclosure. It can
transport data at speeds of up to 128 Kbps, full duplex, over an
ordinary 2-wire telephone line. This high bandwidth availability
is made possible using the ISDN U-Interface 2B1Q line coding
technique, an industry standard for digital transmission on
metallic facilities.
CT-128 offers flexible applications for asynchronous and
synchronous transmission. It supports one data channel
operating at speeds from 2.4 Kbps to 128 Kbps, or two data
channels each from 2.4 Kbps to 64 Kbps. For the 128 Kbps
service, the industry standard BONDING delay equalization
protocol aggregates the two 64 Kbps "B" channels into a single
128 Kbps DTE interface. For two-data-channel operation,
Channel 1 and Channel 2 of CT-128 operate completely
independent of each other. If CT-128 provides 56 or 64 Kbps
service with BCH error correction function, it provides only one
channel capacity.
When CT-128 is used for point-to-point connection,
configuration and maintenance are accomplished through
option switches and front panel buttons. When CT-128 is
connected to FM-60 E1 Flexible Multiplexer, remote control
capability is provided. That is, CT-128 can be remotely
controlled by the network management system of FM-60.
