With DTR asserted, some bridges/routers raise DTR when bandwidth on
their dedicated line is exceeded. In high-traffic times, this allows the ISU
128 to dial out over the ISDN for an extra 128 kbps of bandwidth-on-de-
mand.
The ISU 128 front panel accommodates a 2-line, 16 character LCD display.
Seven LED indicators monitor data flow and display the status of key DTE in-
terface leads as described in Table 1-A. A front panel keypad supports config-
uration, test modes, test status, and dialing (see Figure 1-2).
