CSU/DSU

Auvii

Ok so I have two 1700 routers. Each have only one fastethernet port as well as one csu/dsu card for t1 connections. I am trying to configure the csu/dsu port to basically work as if i am using a dce/dte. I have no idea if this would work, after some playing around I don't think it will but i figured better safe to ask then never know.


thanks

If you're trying to connect them back to back you will need a T-1 crossover cable:

R1        R2
1    -    4
2    -    5
4    -    1
5    -    2

You can make one yourself or there are sites where you can buy one.

I see, currently I am using a normal cat5 crossover with pins 1-2 swapped with 3-6. So a T1 crossover is different then?
