Overview
This user manual describes the TAC 2130, TAC 2130-S and TAC
2130-T Integrated T1 DSU/CSU modules, components of Verilink’s
Access System 2000 (AS2000) platform.
Scope

product line. Where appropriate, the text refers you to a specific
Access System 2000 manual for greater detail.
Product
Description
The TAC 2130 series are integrated T1 CSU/DSU modules that are
managed by one of five node controller modules. Because they
integrate CSU and DSU functions into one module, the TAC 2130,
TAC 2130-S and TAC 2130-T are also referred to as IDCSU
(Integrated DSU/CSU) modules.
Unlike many other AS2000 application modules, the IDCSU does
not use any shelf midplane to exchange user data with other
modules. All DS0 timeslots in the T1 datastream received by the
IDCSU are either routed to the single data port or not used.
The IDCSU uses industry standard methods of channellizing data
into DS0 timeslots, and supports full or fractional T1 applications.
