Overview
The Model 3550 DSU is designed for desktop
operation and is delivered ready to connect to the
network. It is configured as a tributary DSU for operation
at 9.6 kbps on a multipoint circuit.
If the unit was ordered with a TDM/Flex installed,
Ports 1 and 2 are configured for 9.6 kbps operation, and
configured as a digital sharing device (DSD). Both ports
are configured for EIA-232 operation, rather than V.35
operation. Refer to the MUX (Port) option set tables in
Chapter 5 to change this configuration on a port-by-port
basis.
Installation consists of the following steps, which
should be performed in the order listed.
• Physical installation
• Hardware straps
• Electrical connection
• Network diagnostic connection
• Software configuration
• DDS network (or LADS) connection
• Dial (or PSTN) network connection if a DBM is
installed, or if using an external dial backup unit
(DBU)
• DSU DTE connection
• Verification testing
Although the Model 3550 DSU is designed for desk or
table-top operation, you can order an ACCULINK
3100 Series CSU wall-mount adapter if you want to
mount the DSU on a wall, an equipment shelf, a 19-inch
RS-310-C or 23-inch AT&T DATAPHONE equipment
cabinet. Refer to Appendix F to order the adapter.
Before You Begin
Your installation site should be clean, well-lighted,
well-ventilated, and free from environmental extremes.
A dedicated grounded ac outlet that is protected by a
circuit breaker should be installed within 6 feet of the
DSU’s planned location. The outlet should be capable of
supplying 90 to 132 Vac 60 Hz (U.S. and Canada). The
