• The ASM-40, High Speed Synchronous Short Range Modem, operates full duplex over unconditioned lines at 13 selectable data rates up to 2048 kbps. The unit can also be used as a rate/interface converter. Transmission range is up to 1.75 km / 1.1 miles.

• Transmission baud rate on the link is selectable:

2048 for data rates of 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 and 2048 kbps

1536 for data rates of 92 (special order instead of the 1544), 384, 768 and 1536 kbps

1544 for data rates of 1544 kbps

1920 - special ordering option for 1920 kbps, instead of 1544 kbps.

The digital port data rate can differ from the line baud rate, enabling ASM-40 to be used as a rate converter.

• Zero suppression on the link is strap-selectable for either AMI, HDB3, or B8ZS coding, according to ITU G.703 standard.

• The digital port has modular, field changeable interfaces: V.35, X.21, V.36/RS-449, RS-530, IR-ETH or G.703/HDB3 (see Ordering). The G.703/HDB3 interface supports (strap-selectable) data rates of 128, 256, 512, 1024, or 2048 kbps.

• Transmit and receive timing can be provided internally, or derived externally from the data terminal or receive signal. Internal FIFOs provide jitter attenuation or phase difference correction either from the incoming analog signal (line side) or from the external clock on the DTE side.

• Selectable forward error correction detects either random or burst errors for rates up to 1024 kbps. Encoding/decoding of data is by Golay (23, 12) error correction mode, which allows random error correction of up to 3 bit errors in a 23-bit frame, or single burst correction of up to 9 bits in a 72-bit frame.

• ASM-40 has a special ordering option for remote power feeding of repeaters ( ASM-40/P. This option works together with the external power supply PS-RPT-2 or PS-RPT-8, and provides power for up to 6 repeaters on each side of the link. When power feeding is used in conjunction with PS-RPT power supply, no special ordering option is required. (PS-RPT should be ordered separately).

• ASM-40 meets special standards. It is approved for AUSTEL (A95/76A/0020), TUV (E9471050.01), BABT and NET-1.

• Diagnostic capabilities comply with ITU V.54, and feature local analog loopback, and local and remote digital loopback. Loopbacks can be activated by front panel switches or by toggling the assigned pins on the digital port (V.35, V.36/RS-449 or RS-530 only). The product includes an internal 511-bit pseudo random pattern generator and BER tester for complete end-to-end integrity testing. The BER tester results are displayed on an error LED, which indicates each bit detected.

• Line protection is available using isolation transformers and a protection circuitry. This protects ASM-40 and the attached DTE from line hazards such as AC or DC overvoltages.

• ASM-40 is available as a standalone unit or as a card version for the ASM-MN-214 19" modem rack. The rack can support up to 14 cards and is supplied with 25-pin D-type digital port connectors. Modems with X.21 or V.35 interface require an external mechanical adapter. CIA/X.21 can be ordered for converting two adjacent DB-25 connectors to two X.21 15-pin connectors, CIA/V.35 for converting one DB-25 connector to a V.35 34-pin connector.

• Optional hardware is available for mounting one or two standalone units in a 19" rack.
