DDS, radio links, or Ethernet/IP networks using the DCB EtherPath or EtherPoll. The Conitel Async Adapter can be used in conjunction with the DCB 202T modem for connection to RTU devices with built in modems. The transmit output of the 202T can be set to –16 dBm for connection to built in modems that are sensitive to high receive levels.

For normal operation with a telephone company line, set the DSU for SLAVE clock timing (switch position 2 DOWN). For in-house line driver applications (56K only), set the host DSU for MASTER timing (switch position 2 UP). The remote unit should remain set for Slave clock.
NETWORK MANAGEMENT PORT Introduction The Network Management port (NMP) is used to configure the unit for proper operation. This connection must be used to configure the CAA composite and data ports. The NMP can also be used to configure remote CAA parameters after a link is established between the host and remote sites.
