DTE Drop/Insert Interface
The DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface connector is a DB15-type socket
connector (Table D-2). For information about using Relay Contact Sense for
external DTE loopback, refer to the DTE LB on Contact configuration option in
DTE Interface Configuration Options
of Appendix C.
The DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) cable (Figure D-3) is typically supplied by a DTE
vendor. It is made of shielded twisted-pair wires (22 AWG). The cable connector
is a DB15-type plug connector. Be sure to connect the shield ground only at the
DSU/CSU end to prevent ground loops.
