ASM-40 High Speed Sync Shorthaul Modem

RAD ASM-45 High Speed Short Range Modem
 

Features
  • The ASM-45, Short Range Modem, operates synchronously, full duplex over unconditioned lines, at a range of up to 5.5 km (3.5 miles). ASM-45 operates at seven selectable data rates up to 768 kbps.
  • The digital interfaces available are:
    • RS-530
    • V.35
    • X.21
    • V.24/RS-232 (up to 64 kbps only)
    • G.703 Codirectional (64 kbps).
  • Conditioned diphase modulation (EUROCOM Std. D1) provides immunity to background noise, eliminates normal line distortion and enables efficient transmission and reception of serial data over twisted pair cable.
  • Transmit timing is provided either internally, or is derived externally from the data terminal or from the receive signal. Receive timing is regenerated from the received signal.
  • ASM-45 features V.54 diagnostic capability to perform local analog loopback, and local and remote digital loopback tests. Loopback is controlled by either a manual switch or via the digital interface signals (excluding X.21 and G.703 interfaces). The front panel switch generates a pseudo-random test pattern (511 bits) according to ITU, for testing end-to-end connectivity. An ERROR LED flashes for each bit error.
  • ASM-45 incorporates interface circuits for the terminal/computer, an automatic equalizer, and a modulator/demodulator. Line coupling is through isolation transformers which, in conjunction with other circuitry, protect against AC or DC overvoltages.
  • ASM-45 is available as a standalone (desk-top) unit or as a card for the ASM-MN-214 19" modem rack. DTE connectors on the rack are 25-pin D-type, female. 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, or CIA/V.35/1 for converting one DB-25 connector to a V.35 34-pin connector.

Specifications
