Your scenario looks ok to me. You want to be sure you have 'dsu mode 1' on the POET to match the Kentrox idsu you're using. Check the rest of your parameters to insure they're consistent too, i.e. clocking, framing, etc. I have turned up a number of these having the configuration you describe and haven't had a problem with them.

Has anyone had experience using the Cisco POET cards in the following scenerio:
Site A || -------------- Site B ---------------
cisco 7206 Kentrox Some Cisco w/POET --------DS3---------- DS-3 IDSU ---- HSSI --- w/HSSI
Or, do I need a POET on both sides?
