Distribution Switch Unit (DXU)
The DXU provides a system interface to the 2 Mbit/s or 1.5 Mbit/s link and cross connects
individual time slots to certain transceivers. The DXU also extracts the synchronisation
information from the PCM link and generates a timing reference for the RBS.
The DXU supports LAPD Multiplexing, LAPD Concentration and the Multi Drop
functionality.
