<div><p>When you do not need a full-time connection, you can save money
by using switched digital service, which is generally called <dfn class="term">Switch-56
(SW56)</dfn>.</p>
<div class="section"><p>An SW56 link is similar to Digital Data Services (DDS) setup in
that the data terminal equipment (DTE) connects to the digital service by
way of CSU/DSU. An SW56 CSU/DSU, however, includes a dialing pad from which
you enter the telephone number of the remote host. SW56 lets you make dial-up
digital connections to any other SW56 subscriber anywhere in the country or
across international borders. An SW56 call is carried over the long distance
digital network just like a digitized voice call. SW56 uses the same telephone
numbers as the local telephone system, and usage charges are
the same as those for business voice calls. SW56 is only in North American
networks, and it is limited to single channels that can only carry data. SW56
is an alternative for locations where ISDN is unavailable. Typically, you
can connect to a SW56 CSU/DSU over V.35 or RS 449 serial interface with synchronous
protocol at rates up to 56Kbps. With a V.25bis call/answer unit, data and
call control flow over a single serial interface.</p>
