A CAU interfaces a non-standard cell with the virtual network. It is functionally equivalent to a CIU, except that it adapts non-DIS cells to the DIS network by translating their messages to DIS PDUs and performs other services necessary to make their output DIS complaint. It also translates DIS PDUs into the format needed by the non- standard cells. [MSETT - Intro to Netwkng Pub 6]
I-CAU ilungiselela iseli engokho kumgangatho ofunekayo inethwekhi yokwenyani. Isebenza ngokulinganayo ne-CIU, ngaphandle nje kokuba yona yamkela iseli ezingezizo ezenethwekhi ye-DIS ngokuthi ziguqulele imiyalezo kwi-DIS PDU kwaye yenze eminye imisebenzi efanelekileyo kwiziphumo zezesikhalazo se-DIS. Kwakhona ikwaguqulela i-DIS PDU kwindlela efunekayo kwiiseli ezisengekho emgangathweni. [MSETT â I-Pub. 6 yintshayelelo yokunethwekha]
