1.1 Introduction
The KBU 64 Kilostream Backup Unit provides an effective, easy to
implement, automatic backup for X21 Kilostream or other leased digital
data circuits, over the ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network).
ISDN is a public switched digital network, enabling simultaneous multi-
service connection over a single pipe, consisting of two 64Kbit/s streams
and one 16Kbit/s control channel.
The KBU 64 is available either as a dual channel device (offering backup
facilities to two independent 64Kbit/s lines, or one 128Kbit/s line when
used in conjunction with a Fivemere MCX 128 multiplexer). It is also
available as a Rackmount version which allows up to a maximum of 13
units (i.e. 13 X Dual-Channel KBU 64s), each offering the same facilities
already discussed.
The KBU 64 is designed to sit in the data path between the Kilostream
Network Termination Unit (NTU) and your user equipment, see Figure
1.1.
Full details of the rackmounted KBU 64 are provided in KBU 64 User
Manual 80-10100001.

Figure 1.1 KBU 64 sits in the data path
During normal operating conditions, user data passes over the
Kilostream link in the normal manner, with the KBU 64 remaining
transparent to the system. If a failure occurs on the Kilostream line, this
is detected by the KBU 64. After a user defined elapsed time, the KBU
64 dials a remote KBU 64 via the ISDN line . Upon verification of an
acceptable connection the data is then re-directed over this backup path
at 64Kbits per second.
Kilostream backup operation is user configured for either automatic or
manual initiation. While the backup data circuit is in use the KBU 64
monitors the failed Kilostream line and upon detection of its recovery
clears the ISDN call, when data is returned to the Kilostream line (main
leased circuit).
This is the KBU 64

channels, including a 5 digit sub-address number.
• User definable line failure detection modes.
• Remote Configuration and monitoring.
• Command line user interface.
• Line integrity testing, both manual and automatic.
• ‘Alarm’ output port for event logging, printing.
• Relay contact output for alarm indication.
• Security using Calling Line Identification.
