In telecommunications, a channel service unit (CSU) is a line Bridging device for use with T-carrier that: *is used to perform loopback testing, *may perform bit stuffing, *may also provide a framing and formatting pattern compatible with the network, *provides a barrier for electrical interference from either side of the unit, and *is the last signal regeneration point, on the loop side, coming from the central office, before the regenerated signal reaches a multiplexer or data terminal equipment (DTE). == Common varieties == CSUs can be categorized by the class of service they support (DS1, DS3, DDS, etc.) and by the capabilities within that class. For example, basic DS1 (T1) CSUs support loopback of each interface and will produce Alarm indication signal to the provider's NIU (Network Interface Device) in the event of loss of signal from the customer-premises equipment (CPE). More advanced units will include internal monitors of the performance of the carrier in both directions and may have test pattern generation and monitor capabilities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Channel service unit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
