Description
General DataComm's DeskTop 202 combines the functionality of Bell
compatible, 1800 bps private line communications with an attractive, low
profile design for today's modern offices. Using state-of-the-art
technology, we can now bring you a compact, efficient modem that is both
economical to own and simple to operate.
Superior Performance
The DeskTop 202 is the perfect choice for asynchronous transmission
in point-to-point and multipoint applications. Custom Very Large Scale
Integration (VLSI) provides the modem with advanced features while
maintaining the best price performance available.
Optimum data throughput is ensured by a
sophisticated compromise equalizer, for immunity to impairments normally
encountered with unconditioned voice grade facilities. A soft transmit
carrier turnoff virtually eliminates the problem of erroneous data bits that
can affect polled applications. And the anti-streaming timer protects
against the potential disruption caused by faulty, "streaming" terminals.
In short, you just can't get more accurate
transmission than with the DeskTop 202.
Highest Reliability
Besides also making the DeskTop 202 compact, our VLSI technology means
extremely high reliability. For example, the modem draws a maximum of only 6
watts power, resulting in lower heat dissipation and longer component life.
As the most power efficient modem in its
class, the DeskTop 202 can therefore save you even more in operating
expenses. Plus, there's even an on/off switch for when the modem is not in
use.
Easy to Use
Simple installation, setup and use were primary considerations behind the
design of the DeskTop 202. So installation is fast and uncomplicated — no
tools are needed! In addition, we've used our experience to make sure that
the modem will meet operating requirements for the widest range of
applications without difficult programming procedures.
The DeskTop 202 options are set using a
switch bank accessible from the outside of the enclosure. While the switches
determine things like RTS/CTS delays and constant or controlled carrier
selections, other parameters have built-in default values to satisfy most
user needs. We know that bringing up a network can be difficult, so we've
made it simpler for you.
Powerful Diagnostics
A comprehensive array of diagnostic tests provides accurate detection of
system faults and helps you to quickly restore service. Included are Analog
Loopback (ANALOOP®), Digital Loopback, Remote Digital Loopback (RDL),
and Self-Test.
All tests may be initiated by front panel
switches and monitored through easy-to-read LED displays. ANALOOP and RDL can
also be controlled from the terminal equipment (DTE) interface. Finally, the
DeskTop 202 has a selectable 10-minute abort timer to prevent inadvertently
locking the modem in test mode for extended periods of time.
The Uncluttered Desk
Perhaps the biggest advantage of the sleek DeskTop look is how easily it
fits into any office environment. A standalone unit, the DeskTop 202 is also
compatible with our DataComm 202T modems, which means you can have the
convenience of a high density package at the central site, while the
workstation at your remotes stay clear and uncluttered |
