What is T1 DSU/CSU used for?

Hi,

I am thinking of purchasing 2 used Cisco routers for my lab and I noticed that on one of the routers, it has a T1 DSU/CSU
and on the other route it has 2 T1 DSU/CSU. I was wondering what these are used for as I've never seen these before? Thanks.

Since you're doing a lab, you may also want to take a read of its application on the Cisco website

Hi Don,

Thanks for your reply. If I remove the modules, what other modules would you recommend for my studying?
Depends on what you want to do (and what's available). For example, if you need more LAN ports,  you could get Ethernet modules or Ethernet  switching modules.
