6 Choose one of the following settings:
•
CSU. Select this option if you are connecting to the PSTN. When connecting to the
PSTN, the FCC only allows the use of CSU mode.
Note: Although CSU mode was developed for the PSTN, it generally works well for
private T-1 lines as well, as long as you do not need to set advanced signal strength and
shape parameters.
If you select CSU, go to step 10.
•
DSX. Select this option only in a private network configuration where you are
connecting one Wave Server to another Wave Server using this trunk. In DSX mode,
you have full control of all the possible signal strength and shape parameters that can
be configured for the T-1 trunk.
7 If you selected DSX mode, click
DSX Settings.
8 Enter the following information:
•
Cable Length (feet). Select the length of cable (in feet) to the other Wave Server.
Note: Signal power level changes can be significant for short cable lengths, but not as
much for longer lengths. Therefore, several short distance choices, and not as many
long distant choices have been provided.
• Custom. Select this option to specify custom DSX settings. You should only change
these settings if you are working with your service provider to determine the correct
settings. Refer to “Customizing transmit and receive signal settings” on page 34-2 for
more information on custom settings.
