DataSMART IDSU ®

T3/E3 Intelligent DSU

The DataSMART® T3/E3 IDSU provides powerful Features

access for bandwidth-intensive Frame Relay and
high-speed router applications.
With a selectable T3 or E3 network interface, the
DataSMART IDSU supports worldwide enterprise
applications. And with a HSSI and V.35/EIA-530/X.21
data port, the versatile IDSU supports almost any
data requirement.
For maximum flexibility, these data ports support
both full T3/E3 bandwidth and variable clock rates
in Nx.5 Mbps increments. These variable clock rates
allow users to control the amount of bandwidth
utilized.
• HSSI or V.35/EIA-530 data port for a
variety of data equipment
• Selectable data port clock rates for
flexible connectivity
• Embedded SNMP and TELNET for
advanced network management
• Extensive monitoring of line and
path performance
• Economical access to T3/E3 Frame
Relay services
• 5-year manufacturer's warranty

Ideal for carrier backbone connectivity, this IDSU

can support router and Frame Relay backbone
applications. The DataSMART IDSU is also ideal for
enterprise networks requiring increased bandwidth
for Internet and corporate LAN access traffic.

Flexible Data Transport Easy Diagnostics

The DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU includes selectable HSSI
(High Speed Serial Interface) and V.35/EIA-530/X.21
data ports. These interfaces allow you to connect a
variety of data and video equipment to your network.
For maximum flexibility, these data ports support full
T3/E3 bandwidth and variable clock rates in Nx.5 Mbps
increments. In multi-rate mode, the V.35 port supports
rates up to 8M, while the HSSI port supports rates up
to 35M (T3) and 24M (E3). The clock rates can also be
set at different rates in transmit and receive directions.
Variable clock rates allow carriers to offer high-speed,
variable-rate Frame Relay access more economically
than T3/E3 services.
Front-panel LEDs on the DataSMART IDSU indicate
network and DTE interface status, system status, alarm
conditions and loopbacks.
The DataSMART IDSU includes a loopback activation
switch and front-panel monitor jacks. These features
assist in fault isolation and allow for non-intrusive
monitoring of the network.
All standard T3 and E3 alarms are monitored, including
signal, sync loss, and remote alarm conditions. The IDSU
will also send both alarm occurrence and clear messages
to a network management station.

The DataSMART IDSU also protects your equipment

investment. You can use the V.35 port with your router
today, and upgrade your router to HSSI when your
bandwidth requirements change. These upgrades can
be accomplished via software commands, and without
upgrading your access equipment.
Advanced Network Management
The DataSMART IDSU provides a wide range of network
management capabilities. Its embedded SNMP agent
supports standard MIBs, SNMP Traps, TELNET and Pings.
In addition, all the IDSU functions can be easily managed
via direct or dial-up access to the RS232 control port.

When alarm conditions occur, the DataSMART IDSU can

notify you in a variety of ways. It can be configured to
send Trap messages to an SNMP host, toggle an alarm
relay, send RS232 messages, even dial out over a modem.
