Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview The ASM-20 Short Range Modem operates synchronously or asynchronously at full or half duplex, over unconditioned lines. ASM-20 has a range of up to 23 km (14 miles) and operates at selectable data rates from 19.2 kbps to 256 kbps. ASM-20 uses conditioned diphase modulation (EUROCOM Std. D1) to provide immunity from background noise, eliminate normal line distortion and enable efficient transmission and reception of serial data over a twisted pair cable. Tran

ASM-20 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1. Introduction Connection to an RS-449/V.36 interface is accomplished via the RS-530 interface (see Appendix A, Ethernet Interface). ASM-20 incorporates a built-in Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT). The internal BERT allows complete testing of both modems and the line without external test equipment. A front panel switch generates a pseudo-random test pattern (511-bit, according to ITU/V.52) for testing end-to-end connectivity. The ERROR LED will fl

Three clock sources Modulation are available: Timing • Internal oscillator • External from the DTE • Loop clock derived from the receive signal. Setting the XMT CLK jumper determines the timing option. See Setting Internal Jumpers and Switches in Chapter 2 for more information. Two options are available for the XMT level (signal level): 0 and -6 dBm. XMT Level XMT level
