Model 7520 DSU Features
The Model 7520 DSU provides an interface between the customer premises
equipment (CPE) and a Digital Data Service (DDS) network.
The DSU’s features and capabilities include:
Easy Installation. Connects to your equipment using standard connectors
and cables.
Easy Configuration. A compact and well-designed set of configuration
options minimizes your customization effort.
DDS Operation. Operates at 2.4, 4.8, 9.6, 19.2, 38.4, 56, and 64 kbps CC
(clear channel).
Local Area Data Set (LADS) Operation. Operates at 2.4, 4.8, 9.6, 19.2,
38.4, 56, and 64 kbps full-duplex as a limited-distance modem.
Asynchronous Terminal Interface (ATI). Provides a menu-driven
VT100-compatible interface for configuring and managing the DSU.
Local Management. Provides local management using an asynchronous
terminal connection through the Terminal port.
Remote Management. Provides remote management using an external
modem through the Terminal port.
Diagnostics. Lets you diagnose device and network problems with digital
loopbacks and pattern tests.
Device and Test Monitoring. Lets you track and evaluate the unit’s
operation with status and test result information.
High Reliability. The Model 7520 DSU’s MTBF (Mean Time Between
Failures) is calculated at over 30 years.

Connecting to the Terminal Port
The device used for the Asynchronous Terminal Interface (ATI) can be a
VT100-compatible async terminal, or a PC running emulation software. The
terminal or PC can be connected to the Terminal port directly, or through an
external modem.
Ensure that the device you connect communicates using these settings:
Data rate set to 9.6 kbps.
Character length set to 8.
Parity set to None.
Stop Bits set to 1.
Terminal port settings cannot be changed using the ATI.
