SDM-100 Emulation Operation
The SDM-100 Emulation feature of the modem provides remote protocol compatibility
with existing SDM-100 modems, which makes several applications possible:
•
•
•
SDM-100 Emulation is typically a closed network application, with no added overhead.
The modem does not required any additional hardware to operate in SDM-100
Emulation. The basic modem configuration, which includes the 25-pin D Data I/O
connector, supports V.35, EIA-422, and EIA-232-C data.
Refer to Table 3-10 for SDM-100 emulation parameter settings.

Add an SDM-300A to a rack of SDM-100s with a protection switch.
Replace an SDM-100 requiring service with SDM-300A.
Use SDM-300A as the backup modem for a rack containing a mix of SDM-100
and SDM-300A modems.
