1-2 Overview ASM-40 Ver. 1.0
Features
ASM-40 operates at 13 selectable rates of up to 2048 kbps, for a line
attenuation of up to 40 dB on twisted pair or coax cable. This provides an
approximate operating range of up to 1.75 km (1 mile).
ASM-40 incorporates interface circuits for the terminal/computer, an automatic
equalizer, a modulator and demodulator. Coupling to the line or coax cable is
protected by isolation transformers, which, in conjunction with other circuitry,
guard against AC or DC voltage surges. The protection circuitry enables operation
even when a DC power source is connected to the line.
Zero suppression on the link is switch-selectable for either AMI, HDB3, or B8ZS
coding, according to ITU G.703 standard.
DTE Interface
The DTE port has modular, field-changeable interfaces: V.24, V.35, X.21, RS-530,
V.36/RS-449, G.703-HDB3, G.703 Codirectional (64 kbps), Ethernet bridge
(IR-ETH), Ethernet/Fast Ethernet bridge with VLAN support (IR-ETH/QN), or
IP-router (IR-IP). The G.703-HDB3 interface supports data rates of 128, 256, 512,
1024, or 2048 kbps.
Timing
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.
Diagnostics
ASM-40 provides local analog, remote digital and local digital loopbacks in
compliance with the V.54 standard. The loopbacks are activated manually via the
front panel pushbuttons. In addition, the local analog and remote digital
loopbacks are initiated via the DTE interface pins (”HH” and “JJ” for V.35 or 18
and 21 for RS-530 or V.24).
ASM-40 includes internal Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT) for complete testing of the
local and remote modem and the link quality without any need for external test
equipment. ASM-40 runs an internal pseudo-random 511-bit test pattern in
accordance with the ITU V.52 standard.
