Section 2 – Installation 2.0 Installation Requirements The DMD2401 LB/ST Modem is designed to be installed within any standard 19-inch wide equipment cabinet or rack, and requires two rack units of mounting space (3.5 inches) vertically and 21 inches of depth. Including cabling, a minimum of 23-inches of rack depth is required.
The modem is designed for indoor applications only. The only tools required for rack mounting the DMD2401 LB/ST is a set of four rack mounting screws and an appropriate screwdriver. Rack mounting brackets are an integral part of the cast front bezel of the unit and are not removable.

Figure 4-12. G.703 Symmetric Control Terminal Screen 4.4 Remote Port User Interface The Remote Port of the DMD2401 LB/ST allows for complete control and monitor functions via an RS-485 or RS-232 Front Panel Selectable Serial Interface. Control and status messages are conveyed between the DMD2401 LB/ST and the subsidiary modems and the host computer using packetized message blocks in accordance with a proprietary communications specification.
User Interfaces 4.4.2 Protocol Wrapper The Radyne COMMSPEC is byte-oriented, with the Least Significant Bit (LSB) issued first. Each data byte is conveyed as mark/space information with one mark comprising the stop data. When the last byte of data is transmitted, a hold comprises one steady mark (the last stop bit). To begin or resume data transfer, a space (00h) substitutes this mark.
M&C computer or by a subordinate piece of equipment (such as the DMD2401 LB/ST) requesting access to the bus. Data is processed in accordance with the OPCODE, and the checksum for the frame is calculated. If the anticipated checksum does not match then a checksum error response is returned to the message frame originator.
(such as increasing or decreasing the transmit power level of a DMD2401 LB/ST modulator), the FSN is incremented after each message packet. When the FSN value reaches 255, it overflows and begins again at zero. The FSN tag is a powerful tool that assures sequential information framing, and is especially useful where commands require more than one message packet.

(“single-thread”) configuration accessible to the M&C computer directly. For example, if two DMD2401 LB/ST Modems with different addresses (DESTINATION IDs) are linked to the same control bus at the same hierarchical level, both will attempt to respond to the M&C computer when the computer...
It is also advantageous to consider the use of multiple bus systems where warranted by a moderate to large equipment complement. Therefore, if a DMD2401 LB/ST is queried for its equipment type identifier, it will return a “27”. 4.4.6 Software Compatibility The DMD2401 LB/ST RLLP is not software-compatible with the following previous Radyne products: RCU5000 and DMD4500.
If the remote M&C is not aware of the newly added features to the Radyne product, it should disregard the parameters at the end of the non-volatile section and index to the start of the volatile section.
