CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2. Introduction The Programmable Sharing Device enables up to 4 (TL304A) or 8 (TL305A) modems or terminals to share a master modem, multiplexor, or computer port in an asynchronous or synchronous multipoint environment. (Asynchronous and synchronous equipment cannot be mixed on the same PSD.) MAIN CHANNEL The main channel transmits information to all sub-channels in parallel. SUB-CHANNELS Sub-channels contend to transmit to the main channel by activating RTS/DCD (Request

CHAPTER 3: Installation 3.3 System Synchronization ASYNCHRONOUS MODE Strap the J6 jumper over the ASYNC pins. All attached equipment must be asynchronous. Turn the BIT RATE rotary switch (BRI) to the correct system speed. No other adjustments to the PSD are necessary. SYNCHRONOUS MODE Strap the J6 jumper over the SYNC pins (this is the factory-default setting). All attached equipment must be synchronous. There are four ways to synchronize the system: 1. Synchronization on the PSD’s internal cloc

BUFFER: If any of the devices connected to the sub-channels numbered 1 through 4 are set to internal clock, then switch S1 should be ON. If any of the devices connected to the sub-channels numbered 5 through 8 are set to internal clock, then switch S2 should be ON. • Jumper J7: If the equipment attached to the sub-channel 1 is DCE, strap to NORMAL. If the equipment is DTE, strap to FROM EXT DTE. 3.4 AC Power On

CHAPTER 4: Operation and Troubleshooting 4. Operation and Troubleshooting 4.1 Operation Turn on the rear-panel POWER rocker switch. The front-panel POWER LED will light. The PSD operates automatically. Except for manually disabling a sub-channel, you will not need to attend to the PSD. 4.2 Changing Setting During Operation If you have to reconfigure the PSD for a different type of operation, turn off the PSD and unplug it from its AC power source before taking off the cover to change settings. 4
