SMDS is not that hard but the CSU needs to be configured properly in order
for it to fuly work. Make sure that your timing is set for network, for
it needs to be clocked from the could itself. Make sure you have your operating
mode set for DXI, but this varies from vendor to vendor for the exact settings.
Work with telco on thinning out the details.
hope this helps

SMDSU plugged into a HSSI port on my Cisco router? I've never had the
pleasure of working with SMDS before and I don't like guessing when it needs
to work before I ship it. Thanks.
