LIMITED-DISTANCE MODEM 56/64 The Modem’s carrier is strap-selectable for either continuous operation, or switched operation for passing control signals end-to-end. Switched operation is controlled by the RTS signal. The Modem performs diagnostic loops in compliance with the ITU V.54 standard. Two V.54 loops are available: local analog loop (V.54, loop 3) and remote digital loop (V.54, loop 2).
LIMITED-DISTANCE MODEM 56/64 Power is supplied from a standard, wall-mounted wall- mounted power supply, 300-mA (center: positive; sleeve: negative). 2.2 Features • Synchronous or asynchronous • Data rates of 56 or 64 kbps, selectable • V.54 diagnostics, including local and remote test •...
LIMITED-DISTANCE MODEM 56/64 3. Installation CAUTION This is a delicate instrument. Be careful not to break or shake any components whenever you have the Modem’s case open. Installing the Modem is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps: 1. Open the unit by separating the two parts of the plastic cover.

LIMITED-DISTANCE MODEM 56/64 5. Plug the modem directly into the computer port (for the RS-232 version) or via the mating cable (for the V.35 version), and fasten with the screws. 6. Connect the external wall-mount power supply to the Modem and then plug it into the main power.
LIMITED-DISTANCE MODEM 56/64 4. Operation 4.1 General The Limited-Distance Modem has ten DIP switches and a 3-position loop activation switch. A table is attached to the inside of the plastic cover showing the setup options of the DIP switches. NOTE The ten switches are mounted on two blocks (as shown in Figure 3-1).
LIMITED-DISTANCE MODEM 56/64 4.3 Async Mode 1. Set the XMT TIMING to async mode, using S1, S2, 2. Set the data rate using S4. 3. Set the frequency allowance and the character length according to Table 3-1 and Table 4-1, using S5, S6, and S7.
LIMITED-DISTANCE MODEM 56/64 4.4 Test Mode The Limited-Distance Modem performs two V.54 test loops: analog loop (ANA) (V.54, loop 3) and remote digital loop (REM) (V.54, loop 2) (see Figures 4-1 and 4-2). Both loops can be controlled either by a manual switch, or by the DTE interface Pin 18 (ANA), and Pin 21 (REM).
