CSU is a channel service unit. A CSU/DSU is similar to a modem in that it
converts analog signals to digital, as well as providing a mechanism for
breaking down individual DS0's in a DS1 so that they can be bundled or muxed
out. This would be the piece of equipment between you and the Telco, a
typical configuration would be Router to CSU/DSU to Telco SmartJack or local
DAX to local loop to long haul to remote local loop to smart jack / local
DAX to CSU/DSU to Router. Several flavors of routers have CSU/DSU's built
into them so that the external box is no longer necessary in some cases.
