Digital communication technology for transporting data over
-
switched synchronous lines at 56 Kbps, or
-
switched asynchronous lines at 57.6 Kbps
|
Compression can provide four times the bandwidth
|
ISDN offers 2x 64 Kbps channels, switched 56 provides only one 56 Kbps channel.
|
Switched 56 is digital and do not require modem. Instead, CSU/DSU is required to attach bridge/router to the line installed by a phone company. At each end CSU/DSU is required. A typical connection between CSU/DSU and router/bridge is V.35 serial cable.

The connection operates like dial-out link
