CAUTION

The ac transformer contains a
3-wire grounding-type plug
which has a grounding pin.
This is a safety feature. Do
not defeat the purpose of the
grounding plug by modifying
it or by using an adapter.

Prior to installation, use an
outlet tester to check the ac
receptacle for earth ground. If
the power source does not
provide a ground connection,
consult an electrician to
determine another method of
grounding the DSU before
proceeding with the
installation.

Before connecting the DSU, you need to contact the

telephone company to coordinate your installation before
connecting the DSU to the DDS or Switched 56 kbps
network. The DSU can only be operated at the data rate
for which access to the DDS network is provided. In
addition, the DSU must be connected to the dial network.
Refer to the notice at the front of this guide to ensure
compliance with FCC, Bell Canada, and Canadian DOC
rules.

No on-site assembly of the DSU is required. However,

installation should not proceed if any of the following is
missing:

A power cord with table-top ac transformer

A 14-ft cable for connection to the DDS network,
with an 8-pin RJ48S modular plug on each end

A 14-ft cable for connection to the permissive dial
network, with a 6-pin RJ11C modular plug on each
end (feature number 3600-F3-503)

For programmable services, the following dial

interface cable should have been ordered.

Programmable (RJ45S) – an 8-pin modular plug at
each end (feature number 4400-F1-

54x)

For Canadian purchasers, an 8-pin RJ48S connector is

on one end while a 6-pin connector is on the other is
required (order feature number 3000-F1-006).

Contact your service representative if any of these

items is missing from the shipping container, or to order
the programmable dial interface cable.

Since your DualFlow DSU is equipped with a DBM,

you may need to change the DSU’s hardware straps before
installing the DSU.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

FOR

STATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES

This product is designed to protect
sensitive components from damage
due to electrostatic discharge (ESD)
during normal operation. When
performing installation procedures,
however, take proper static control
precautions to prevent damage to
equipment. If you are not sure of the
proper static control precautions,
contact your nearest sales or service
representative.

The Model 3615 DSU has a switch located behind its

diagnostic control panel (DCP). This switch contains two
straps, one that controls the permissive or programmable
connection for the DBM, and one that controls the
frame-to-signal grounds. Table 2-1 shows the DSU’s
switch settings. Refer to Figure 2-1 and follow these steps
if you need to change one of these straps.

Procedure

1. With your thumbs under the edge of the front

bezel, firmly press upward to lift the bezel from
the tabs securing it in place.

2. Swing the front bezel up and set the bezel aside.

3. Refer to Table 2-1 to determine which switch

needs to be changed. Then, using a small
instrument, carefully change the position of the
switch.
