<h1 class="topictitle1">Digital services and DDS</h1>
<div><p>You can use digital service and Digital Data Services (DDS) with
PPP.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Digital service</h4><p>With digital service, data travels
all the way from the computer of the sender to the central office of the telephone
company, to the long distance provider, to the central office, and then to
the computer of the receiver in digital form. Digital signaling offers much
more bandwidth and higher reliability than analog signaling. A digital signaling
system eliminates many of the problems that analog modems must deal with,
such as noise, variable line quality, and signal attenuation.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Digital Data Services</h4><p>Digital Data Services (DDS)
is the most basic of digital services. DDS links are leased, permanent connections,
running at fixed rates of up to 56Kbps. This service is also commonly designated
as DS0.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>You can connect to DDS using a special box called <dfn class="term">Channel
Service Unit/Data Service Unit (CSU/DSU)</dfn>, which replaces the modem
in the analog scenario. DDS has physical limitations that are primarily related
to the distance between the CSU/DSU and the Telephone Company Central Office.
DDS works best when distance is less than 9000 m (30 000 ft). Telephone companies
can accommodate longer distances with signal extenders, but this service comes
at higher cost. DDS is best suited for connecting two sites that are served
by the same Central Office. For long distance connections that span different
Central Offices, mileage charges can quickly add up to make DDS impractical.
In such cases, Switched-56 may be better solution. Typically, you can connect
to a DDS CSU/DSU over V.35, RS449, or X.21 serial interface with synchronous
protocol at rates up to 56Kbps.</p>
