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.
