    ASYNC/SYNC FIBER OPTIC MODEM AND FO MODEM CARD 2. Introduction 2.1 Description The Async/Sync Fiber Optic Modem is a miniature modem that combines the noise immunity of fiber with the troubleshooting capabilities of V.52 and V.54 diagnostics. The modem operates in asynchronous or synchronous mode and supports data rates to 38.4 kbps.
  • Page 13: Configuration

    The Async/Sync Fiber Optic Modem is fairly simple to install and easy to operate: just set it and forget it. The instructions in this chapter will help you set up the modem properly. If you have questions, call Black Box Technical Support at 724-746-5500.

    The Test LED should be lit. 2. Verify that the data-terminal equipment is operating properly and can be used for a test. If a fault is indicated, call Black Box Technical Support at 724-746 5500. 3. Perform a BER (bit error rate) test on each modem. If the BER test equipment indicates no faults, but the data terminal indicates a fault, follow the manufacturer’s checkout procedures for the data terminal.
