The Link1 TADILB modem operates at 600 and 1200 bps, synchronous or
asynchronous, with V.23 modulation. The modem accepts external transmit
clock on pin 24. The modem operates in Link1 DFSK mode (differential
frequency shift key) at 600 and 1200 bps. Full 13.5” PC card, 7.25”
half card size, and standalone configurations are available. The pc
card uses the internal pc ISA bus only for power from the pc bus. The
serial terminal interface is RS-232, DB-25. The phone line connector is
an RJ-11 for 4-wire leased line operation. Transmit is on positions1
and 4, receive 2 and 3 of the 4 position RJ-11 connector.
The modem has DIP switch controls for the TADIL-B (V.23) or LINK1
mode, for 1200 or 600 bps operation, for 4 or 8 ms RTS/CTS delay, for
constant carrier (RTS forced on) or terminal controlled RTS, and
transmit level settings of +3, 0, -16 and –30 dBm. The modem has a
push/push switch for local digital loop on or off. The DIP switch is
located on the PC card and is accessible behind the front panel of the
standalone modem. The loopback switch is located on the rear of the
unit, next to the DB-25 terminal connector.
DFSK. Differential Frequency Shift Keyed (Link1 mode)
600 and 1200 bps
Transmit and Receive clock supplied by modem
Modem supplies transmit clock and recovered received clock,
allowing the modem to run sync or async without a switch
Transmit level control from +3 dBm to -30 dBm, implement as +3, 0
–16 and –30
The modem operates with no errors when signal interruptions occur
at less than 1/4 of a bit length (300 microseconds) at the selected bit
rate
The modem operates with no errors when the signal level changes
up to 25 dB
The modem will drive a minimum of 100 meters of 26 AWG cable and will typically drive several kilometers of cable depending upon wire gauge. Line losses of up to 39 dB are normally acceptible for private line installations.
Switched carrier or constant carrier operation (RTS forced on or
terminal controlled)
The Link1 TADILB modem is normally used with standards based
equipment that requires reliability rather than speed. The PC ISA
format card is used in a standard PC ISA chassis.It draws power from
that chassis and has no other internal chassis connections. There is a
20 slot ISA chassis available for this format with built-in power
supply. The stand-alone model uses a wall-mount AC power supply. There
is a 3 unit rack mount available for the stand-alone mldel.
