Subject: T1 CSU compliance

  Is anyone aware of a need to provide DC continuity
through T1 CSU's ? 

Before 1989, T1 CSU's used to be powered by access
providers. To accomplish this, the access provider
would send DC current that would loop back via the
center taps of the Tx and Rx transformers of the CSU.

Although this requirement has been abolished, I was 
advised by a colleague to still connect together the
center taps, since some Telco's may expect it, and use
it for "contact wetting". Unfortunately, it complicates
the surge protection of the CSU.

Thanks,
