ASYNC SHM-NPR 2. Introduction 2.1 Description The Async SHM-NPR is used for local data distribution, connecting full- or half-duplex asynchronous terminals to computers. A pair of modems ensures integrity of data transmission, over unconditioned 4-wire telephone lines, for distances of up to 2 miles (3.2 km). The SHM-NPR is a high-speed synchronous modem operating at 76.8 Kbps.

ASYNC SHM-NPR The SHM-NPR features a DCE/DTE switch. This allows it to operate as a DTE in order to connect to another DCE, such as a multiplexor port, without requiring a cross cable. The carrier can be strapped for either continuous operation (point-to-point applications) or for switched operation, controlled by the RTS signal (multi-point applications).
ASYNC SHM-NPR 2.2 Features • Insensitive to wire polarity • Asynchronous transmission • Up to 19,200 bps • Full- or half-duplex • Point-to-point or multipoint • Transmission range of up to 2 miles (3.2 km) • DCE/DTE switch • Strain relief for line cable •...
ASYNC SHM-NPR 3. Installation Installation of the Async SHM-NPR is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps: 1. Separate the two parts of the plastic cover by pressing the marked places on the side, starting at the cable end. 2. Connect 4-wire telephone line to the screw terminal block: transmit pair to “XMT”...
