T1 ESF CSU???
-
Hi my friend has a ACCULINK® 3150 Series ESF T1 CSU, a 3150-A2-210 to be exact. What is thing for? Sounds like a stupid question but I read the online info and all I can get from it is that it helps out networks and may or may not have a T1 modem. Info is at http://www.interlinkweb.com/systemics/assets/product\_images/PDN/3150ds.pdf . Is their anything I, an average person with no network and just a reg comp with a reg internet connection, can use it for practically or should I EBAY it? Thank you for reading this, I hope this is an appropiate place to post this.

A CSU is used with a dedicated line, in this case a T1-type, and doesn't operate on a regular POTS line. Unless you want to order a T1 connection from your local carrier (a fractional T1 here costs $5,000 a month) you might as well eBay it. "Your village called -

Thanks you for the info. Is it possible if I had access to a T1 line, not full access but like in a college dorm, if I could benefit from it?

T1s are essentially point-to-point. (We just had a 3rd T1 installed yesterday as a matter of fact). The T1 CSU connects to the providers box, and then the other end of the wire is connected to a corresponding box at your T1 provider (via copper). In our case, we have our CSU connected to the T1 end point, routing to our other building, to a corresponding CSU unit. Most campus that I've seen have ethernet (cable) systems or wireless if you are lucky enough. They don't have T1-T1 connections in dorms. For us, our T1 is strictly point-to-point so we don't have the high fees that were quoted earlier. Ours is something like $300.00 a month for point to point. Something like $900.00 a month to be connected to the outside world with it. Nick This are my own opinions. You know the rest.....

EBAY it. A CSU is used to convert the signaling and framing on a dedicated line (DS-1, DS-3, Dedicated 56K) to typically a serial protocol that a router can accept (Typically some form of V.35). No home user is going to have need of something like this. Overall its a nice little CSU. I used to like Paradyne's stuff. Mark Conger Sonork:100.28396

I think I may be a bit more remote than you, hence the higher cost. What did you use it for that could possibly justify that expense?:omg: "Your village called -

Seriously, how can a T1 be so expensive? A T1 isn't much more than 1.8 Mbps (or something like that). For $1,800 a month I could soon get Gbps! (Several 100 Mbps lines). -- 20 eyes in my head, they're all the same![^]

Ah, that makes sense. It's kind of cool that I'm sitting on a fortune measured in '98 currency. :cool: -- 20 eyes in my head, they're all the same![^]
