Your communications system can be used to connect a single endpoint with the the following devices and
networks for data communications:
• Data terminal equipment (DTEs), such as PCs, CRTs, printers, computer ports — through data
communications equipment (DCEs)
• Local area networks (LANs) — through gateways, routers, and bridges
• Public and private data networks — through special access arrangements
• Telemarketing hosts — through DCIU, PI/SCI, and ISDN-PRI connections
This chapter lists the devices and networks with which your communications system allows you to
communicate and it describes how the connections are made. Chapter 9 also illustrates some of the more
complicated connections.
