General Safety Instructions The following instructions serve as a general guide for the safe installation and operation of telecommunications products. Additional instructions, if applicable, are included inside the manual. Safety Symbols Warning This symbol may appear on the equipment or in the text. It indicates potential safety hazards regarding product operation or maintenance to operator or service personnel. Danger of electric shock! Avoid any contact with the marked surface while the product is energized or connected to outdoor telecommunication lines. . Protective earth: the marked lug or terminal should be connected to the building protective earth bus. Warning Some products may be equipped with a laser diode. In such cases, a label with the laser class and other warnings as applicable will be attached near the optical transmitter. The laser warning symbol may be also attached. Please observe the following precautions: • Before turning on the equipment, make sure that the fiber optic cable is intact and is connected to the transmitter. • Do not attempt to adjust the laser drive current. • Do not use broken or unterminated fiber-optic cables/connectors or look straight at the laser beam. • The use of optical devices with the equipment will increase eye hazard. • Use of controls, adjustments or performing procedures other than those specified herein, may result in hazardous radiation exposure. ATTENTION: The laser beam may be invisible! In some cases, the users may insert their own SFP laser transceivers into the product. Users are alerted that RAD cannot be held responsible for any damage that may result if non-compliant transceivers are used. In particular, users are warned to use only agency approved products that comply with the local laser safety regulations for Class 1 laser products. Always observe standard safety precautions during installation, operation and maintenance of this product. Only qualified and authorized service personnel should carry out adjustment, maintenance or repairs to this product. No installation, adjustment, maintenance or repairs should be performed by either the operator or the user. Handling Energized Products General Safety Practices Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages may be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF position or a fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usually not hazardous, energy hazards may still exist. Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines, remove jewelry or any other metallic object that may come into contact with energized parts. Unless otherwise specified, all products are intended to be grounded during normal use. Grounding is provided by connecting the mains plug to a wall socket with a protective earth terminal. If an earth lug is provided on the product, it should be connected to the protective earth at all times, by a wire with a diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack-mounted equipment should be mounted only in earthed racks and cabinets. Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last. Do not connect telecommunication cables to ungrounded equipment. Make sure that all other cables are disconnected before disconnecting the ground. Connection of AC Mains Make sure that the electrical installation complies with local codes. Always connect the AC plug to a wall socket with a protective ground. The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power to the product is 16A. The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A. Always connect the power cord first to the equipment and then to the wall socket. If a power switch is provided in the equipment, set it to the OFF position. If the power cord cannot be readily disconnected in case of emergency, make sure that a readily accessible circuit breaker or emergency switch is installed in the building installation. In cases when the power distribution system is IT type, the switch must disconnect both poles simultaneously. Connection of DC Mains Unless otherwise specified in the manual, the DC input to the equipment is floating in reference to the ground. Any single pole can be externally grounded. Due to the high current capability of DC mains systems, care should be taken when connecting the DC supply to avoid short-circuits and fire hazards. DC units should be installed in a restricted access area, i.e. an area where access is authorized only to qualified service and maintenance personnel. Make sure that the DC supply is electrically isolated from any AC source and that the installation complies with the local codes. The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power to the product is 16A. The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A. Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Locate the circuit breaker of the panel board that services the equipment and switch it to the OFF position. When connecting the DC supply wires, first connect the ground wire to the corresponding terminal, then the positive pole and last the negative pole. Switch the circuit breaker back to the ON position. A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably rated and approved should be incorporated in the building installation. If the DC mains are floating, the switch must disconnect both poles simultaneously. Connection of Data and Telecommunications Cables Data and telecommunication interfaces are classified according to their safety status. The following table lists the status of several standard interfaces. If the status of a given port differs from the standard one, a notice will be given in the manual. Ports Safety Status V.11, V.28, V.35, V.36, RS-530, X.21, 10 BaseT, 100 BaseT, Unbalanced E1, E2, E3, STM, DS-2, DS-3, S-Interface ISDN, Analog voice E&M SELV xDSL (without feeding voltage), Balanced E1, T1, Sub E1/T1 TNV-1 Telecommunication Network Voltage-1: FXS (Foreign Exchange Subscriber) TNV-2 Telecommunication Network Voltage-2: Safety Extra Low Voltage: Ports which do not present a safety hazard. Usually up to 30 VAC or 60 VDC. Ports whose normal operating voltage is within the limits of SELV, on which overvoltages from telecommunications networks are possible. Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from telecommunication networks are not possible. These ports are not permitted to be directly connected to external telephone and data lines. FXO (Foreign Exchange Office), xDSL (with feeding voltage), U-Interface ISDN TNV-3 Telecommunication Network Voltage-3: Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from telecommunication networks are possible. Always connect a given port to a port of the same safety status. If in doubt, seek the assistance of a qualified safety engineer. Always make sure that the equipment is grounded before connecting telecommunication cables. Do not disconnect the ground connection before disconnecting all telecommunications cables. Some SELV and non-SELV circuits use the same connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Extra caution should be exercised during thunderstorms. When using shielded or coaxial cables, verify that there is a good ground connection at both ends. The earthing and bonding of the ground connections should comply with the local codes. The telecommunication wiring in the building may be damaged or present a fire hazard in case of contact between exposed external wires and the AC power lines. In order to reduce the risk, there are restrictions on the diameter of wires in the telecom cables, between the equipment and the mating connectors. Caution Attention To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cords. Pour réduire les risques s’incendie, utiliser seulement des conducteurs de télécommunications 26 AWG ou de section supérieure. Some ports are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling only. In such cases, a notice will be given in the installation instructions. Do not attempt to tamper with any carrier-provided equipment or connection hardware. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) The equipment is designed and approved to comply with the electromagnetic regulations of major regulatory bodies. The following instructions may enhance the performance of the equipment and will provide better protection against excessive emission and better immunity against disturbances. A good earth connection is essential. When installing the equipment in a rack, make sure to remove all traces of paint from the mounting points. Use suitable lock-washers and torque. If an external grounding lug is provided, connect it to the earth bus using braided wire as short as possible. The equipment is designed to comply with EMC requirements when connecting it with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables. However, the use of shielded wires is always recommended, especially for high-rate data. In some cases, when unshielded wires are used, ferrite cores should be installed on certain cables. In such cases, special instructions are provided in the manual. Disconnect all wires which are not in permanent use, such as cables used for one-time configuration. The compliance of the equipment with the regulations for conducted emission on the data lines is dependent on the cable quality. The emission is tested for UTP with 80 dB longitudinal conversion loss (LCL). Unless otherwise specified or described in the manual, TNV-1 and TNV-3 ports provide secondary protection against surges on the data lines. Primary protectors should be provided in the building installation. The equipment is designed to provide adequate protection against electro-static discharge (ESD). However, it is good working practice to use caution when connecting cables terminated with plastic connectors (without a grounded metal hood, such as flat cables) to sensitive data lines. Before connecting such cables, discharge yourself by touching earth ground or wear an ESD preventive wrist strap.

Unit Case Assembly ASM-20 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview The ASM-20 short range modem operates synchronously or asynchronously at full-or half-duplex, over unconditioned lines. ASM-20 has a range of up to 23 km (14 mi) and operates at selectable data rates from 19.2 kbps to 256 kbps. ASM-20 uses conditioned diphase modulation (EUROCOM Std. D1) to provide immunity from background noise, eliminate normal line distortion, and enable efficient transmission and reception of serial data over a twisted pair cable. Transmit timing is provided internally, or derived externally from the data terminal or regenerated from the receive signal. Receive timing is regenerated from the data. Applications The following diagrams illustrate ASM-20 in a variety of applications: • Point-to-point • Modem link • Tail-end for digital networks. 4-WIRE Up to 23 km R AD HOST R AD ASM-20 19.2 - 256 kbs ASM-20 Terminal DTE Figure 1-1.

Tail-end for Digital Network Application Features ASM-20 features V.54 diagnostic capabilities for performing local analog loopback and local and remote digital loopback. The operator at either end of the line may test both modems and the line when in digital loopback mode. The loopback is controlled by either front panel push buttons or via the DTE interface. Options The following DTE interface options are available: 1-2 • V.24/RS-232(up to 64 kbps) • V.35 • X.21 • RS-530 • V.36 • G.703 (64 kbps co-directional) Overview 02-Aug-2005 10:47 ASM-20 Installation and Operation Manual • Chapter 1 Introduction Built-in Ethernet bridge. Connection to an RS-449/V.36 interface is accomplished via the RS-530 interface (see Appendix A, Ethernet Interface). ASM-20 incorporates a built-in Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT). The internal BERT allows complete testing of both modems and the line without external test equipment. A front panel switch generates a pseudorandom test pattern (511-bit, according to ITU/V.52) for testing end-to-end connectivity. The ERROR LED will flash when a bit error is encountered. 1.2 Physical Description ASM-20 is available as a desk-top unit or a rack-mountable card for a 19" rack. The rack can carry up to 14 ASM-20 cards which provide a 25-pin D-type connection to the digital interface. Optional interface adapters for V.35, X.21, G703 and ETH are available. The ASM-20/R card can detect and indicate power failure on the remote ASM-20 standalone unit. The RPF LED will light up if remote power failure occurs. Front Panel Figure 1-4 shows a general view of ASM-20. Figure 1-4. ASM-20 LEDs All controls (push button and LED indicators are located on the ASM-20 front panel (see Figure 1-4). A description of the front panel can be found in Controls and Indicators in Chapter 3. Jumpers A description of the jumpers can be found in Setting Internal Jumpers and Switches in Chapter 2.

Figure 1-6. ASM-20 Block Diagram Encoder The encoder receives data from the DTE, then modulates the data using the CDD “conditional diphase modulation” technique. 1-4 • 4-wire full-duplex • 4-wire half-duplex. Functional Description 02-Aug-2005 10:47 ASM-20 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Modulation Timing This circuit supplies the transmit clock to the encoder. Three clock sources are available: • Internal oscillator • External from the DTE • Loop clock derived from the receive signal. Setting the XMT CLK jumper determines the timing option. See Setting Internal Jumpers and Switches in Chapter 2 for more information. XMT Level (optional) Two options are available for the XMT level (signal level): 0 and -6 dBm. XMT level is controlled by the XMT LVL jumper. See Setting Internal Jumpers and Switches in Chapter 2 for more information on the XMT LVL jumper. An optional output filter to the line is available. This filter can be ordered in compliance with British Telecom and other PTT requirements. Receiver The receiver comprises several circuits as shown in the block diagram (see Figure 1-6): • The RECEIVE FILTER removes all the out-band frequencies. • The AUTOMATIC EQUALIZER comprises several equalizers which are activated according to baud rate. • The digital AGC automatically compensates for the attenuation of the line. Remote Power Failure (RPF) The Remote Power Failure feature allows the user at a central location to detect a power failure in a remote modem. The remote power failure feature can only be configured when the ASM-20/SA standalone unit (remote) operates opposite the rack-mounted card ASM-20/R (central). When a power failure occurs, ASM-20/SA transmits a special tone which is detected by ASM-20/R and causes the ERR/RPF LED to light up. A special push button located on the front panel of ASM-20/R allows the user to reset the RPF LED. The RPF jumper in the standalone unit enables or disables the feature. The RPF feature should be disabled for multipoint applications. V.54 Diagnostics V.54 loops are activated either by manual front panel push buttons or via the DTE interface. The push buttons and the DTE interface can be enabled or disabled separately by the SWITCH EN, ALB DTE, RLB DTE jumpers respectively. See Setting Internal Jumpers and Switches in Chapter 2, for more information. Async to Sync Converter ASM-20 has an internal asynchronous to synchronous converter and synchronous to asynchronous converter (used for asynchronous data). Functional Description 1-5 Chapter 1 Introduction ASM-20 Installation and Operation Manual A synchronous transmission is provided by internal conversion from asynchronous to synchronous mode in compliance with ITU V.22 bis. In this standard, the modem compensates for frequency deviation between the modem and the DTE by adjusting the length of the stop bit of the async character. If the modem’s frequency is lower than the DTE, the local converter deletes one stop bit in every four (25%) or eight (12.5%) characters. The remote converter will add a shorter stop bit (shorter by 12.5% or 25%) before sending the data to the remote DTE. A suitable operation of the ASYNC to SYNC converter is selected by adjusting the proper character length and frequency deviation setting (dip switch bank), see Figure 2-3 and Table 2-2. X.21 Buffer (for X.21 interface) To allow tail-end connection on an X-21 interface, a buffer is provided on received data. When ASM-20 is used in external clock configuration, set jumper JP2 to EXT. When internal or receive clock configuration is used, set the jumper to the opposite side. See Appendix C, IR-X.21B Interface Module for more information. Test Pattern Generator and Receiver This feature allows for easy and quick testing of the local modem as well as the communication link. When the PATT button on the front panel is activated, the circuit sends and checks a standard 511-bit pseudo random pattern. If errors are encountered, the ERROR LED remains ON or blinks. The test can be carried out in local analog loopback, in remote digital loopback or in normal point-to-point operation opposite a remote ASM-20 modem. Press the PATT push button on the remote unit or connect a Bit Error Rate Tester which uses the standard 511-bit pattern. X.21 External Clock Buffer Option Available with X.21 interface model only.

Controls and Indicators 3-3 ASM-20 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 3 Operation 3.3 Operation ASM-20 operates entirely unattended, except when the occasional monitoring of LED indicators is required. Test Activation In order to verify that the ASM-20 is operating correctly, use the internal BERT and analog loopback tests as described in Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT) in Chapter 4 and Local Test - Analog Loopback in Chapter 4. Operational Jumper and Switch Changes If you need to reconfigure the ASM-20 for a different type of operation, the jumpers and switches must be changed to correspond to the new operating mode. Only authorized or qualified personnel should have access inside the equipment. Disconnect the ASM-20 power cable before opening the top cover. Warning For guidance in repositioning the jumpers and switches, see Setting Jumpers and Switches in Chapter 2. The equipment will become unsafe for connection to telecommunication networks in some locations, if the signal ground is disconnected from the chassis ground. 3.4 Power Off To turn off an AC powered ASM-20: Remove the AC power cord from the AC source. To turn off a DC powered ASM-20: Turn off the circuit breaker that supplies the DC mains. 3-4 Power Off Chapter 4 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics This chapter contains procedures for performing system diagnostic tests for ASM-20. Use the test procedures provided in this chapter to: • Verify normal system operation • Isolate faulty equipment in the event of failure. Tests are activated by control push buttons on the ASM-20 front panel and monitored via LED indicators. For a description of the ASM-20 controls and indicators and their functions, see Chapter 3, Operation. 4.1 Loop Test Procedure The test switches and LED indicators built into ASM-20 allow rapid checking of the data terminals, ASM-20 and lines. Use the test procedures provided in this chapter to check normal system operation and isolate faulty equipment in the event of failure. Each test verifies the operational performance of a unit in the system or provides a positive indication of equipment failure. Before testing operation of the data system equipment and line circuits, ensure that all units are turned on and correctly configured. 4.2 Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT) The Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT) can be activated in any diagnostics test in which the test pattern transmitted is looped back to the BERT for comparison (see Figure 4-1).

To verify that ASM-20 is operating correctly: 1. Press the ANA (Analog Loopback) push button on the front panel. Both the TEST and DCD LEDs should light up. If the DCD LED does not light up, check that the CARRIER jumper is ON or that the RTS signal is ON (high). 2. Press the PATT push button. Verify that: DCD LED is still lit up TEST LED is still lit up ERR LED lights up for a short period. The ERR LED should then turn off. If it lights up or blinks, then ASM-20 is faulty and should be replaced. If the test executes correctly, restore all the push buttons and jumpers to the required position. 4.4 Local Test - Analog Loopback This test checks the performance of the local modem, the local data terminal and the cables connecting them. Perform it separately at the local and remote sites. ANA Pressed CLK XMTR DATA TERMINAL LINE CLK DATA RCVR ASM-20 Figure 4-3. Local ASM-20 in Analog Loopback To check the performance of the local modem and the local data terminal: 1. Press the ANA (Analog Loopback) push button on the front panel (see Figure 3-1). This test can also be activated via the pin on the DTE interface. See Table 2-2 for more information. The TEST LED should turn on. ASM-20 transmit output is now connected to its own receiver (see Figure 4-3). Local Test - Analog Loopback 4-3 Chapter 4 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics ASM-20 Installation and Operation Manual 2. Check that the DTE is operating properly and can be used for a test. If a fault is indicated, call a technician or replace the unit. 3. Execute the test using one of the methods described below: Use the DTE and check the echoed data stream Use an external Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT) unit Use the internal Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT). Press the PATT push button. The ERR LED will light up briefly to indicate that the LED is functioning. If any bit error is encountered, the LED will blink or remain ON. 4. Perform Step 3 at both ends. If the BERT test equipment does not indicate a fault, but the data terminal does, follow the manufacturer’s test procedures for the data terminal and check that the cable connecting the terminal and ASM-20 is working. After completion of the test (or when the fault has been corrected), restore the ANA push button to the OFF position by pressing the ANA push button again. Proceed to Communication Link Tests below. 4.5 Communication Link Tests Remote Digital Loopback This test determines the performance of the local and remote ASM-20, and the lines connecting them. To check the performance of the local and remote ASM-20: 1. Press the REM (Remote Loopback) push button, providing a loopback at the remote ASM-20 (see Figure 4-4). (This test can also be activated via the pin on the DTE interface.) The TEST LED should light up at both the local and remote units. 2. Perform the BERT test using one of the methods described below: Use the DTE and check the echoed data stream Use an external Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT) unit Use the internal Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT). Press the PATT push button. The ERR LED will light up briefly to indicate that the LED is functioning. If any bit error is encountered the LED will blink or remain ON. 3. If Step 2 indicates a fault, and if the modem test described Modem Self Test on page 4-3 was positive for both the local and remote modems, the line circuits are not operating properly. 4-4 Communication Link Tests ASM-20 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 4 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics REM Pressed DATA CLK XMTR RCVR LOCAL DATA TERMINAL REMOTE DATA TERMINAL CLK DATA RCVR LOCAL ASM-20 XMTR REMOTE ASM-20 Figure 4-4.

How is the new version of ASM-20 different from the older version? A. ASM-20 has been improved in order to get CE mark approval and has some new features. A different ordering name, ASM-20-2, was given to the newer version. Presently, any order received for ASM-20 or ASM-20-2 will be delivered as ordered until the stock of existing ASM-20 products is depleted. After the stock is depleted, orders for any version will be delivered with the new ASM-20-2 boards only. The following table describe the differences between the old ASM-20 and the new version. Table 4-1. Differences in Versions ASM-20 ASM-20-2 Non-modular interfaces (V.24, X.21 etc.); part of the main board Modular interfaces Two ordering options for synchronous rates: 32 kbps - 128 kbps 32 kbps - 144 kbps All synchronous rates from 19.2 kbps - 256 kbps. No Ethernet support Ethernet built-in bridge Metal box Plastic box Terminal block with screws Clip terminal block Main chip RJ008 and external BERT chip Main chip RJ016 which includes BERT chip No CE mark CE mark No asynchronous transmission Asynchronous transmission capability The above versions are compatible with each other within similar synchronous rates. Additionally, the ASM-20-2 has been improved in order to get a better line surge protection. In many cases line surges are caused by lightening strikes. The improved line protection of ASM-20-2 complies with the ITU-T/K.21 standard. The line interface has been modified by adding two Gas surge protection diodes and another two Transorber surge protection diodes. The Gas diodes protect against line surges above 300V and the Transorber diodes protect against surges below 300V. 4-6 Frequently Asked Questions ASM-20 Installation and Operation Manual 4.7 Chapter 4 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Technical Support Technical support for this product can be obtained from the local distributor from whom it was purchased.

Technical Support 4-7 Chapter 4 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics 4-8 Technical Support ASM-20 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 5 Card-Cage Version This chapter describes the ASM-20/R card version, designed for installation in the ASM-MN-214 card cage. The chapter describes: • ASM-MN-214 card cage • ASM-20/R card version • ASM-20/R power supply • How to install ASM-20/R. 5.1 ASM-MN-214 Card Cage The ASM-MN-214 card cage contains one or two power supplies and up to 14 plug-in cards. The card types can be ASM-20/R or other RAD rack version modems/converters - any combination of up to 14 plug-in cards. For each of the 14 cards, the rear panel (see Figure 5-1) contains a male connector for the terminal block and a DB-25 connector. A protection cover protects the terminal block connectors. The terminal block (see Figure 5-1) is to be attached to the rear panel terminal block connectors. It contains screws for connecting the transmit and receive pairs and ground, if present. The 25-pin D-type female interface connector provides all interface signals for the digital interfaces. Modems with X.21 or V.35 interface require an external mechanical adapter. Two optional interface attachments, CIA/V.35/1 and CIA/X.21, can be ordered separately from RAD. CIA/X.21 converts two adjacent DB-25 connectors to two X.21 15-pin connectors. CIA/V.35/1 converts one DB-25 connector to a V.35 34-pin connector. V.36 modem cards are supplied with a RAD adapter cable CBL 530/449F, which converts the DB-25 connector to a V.36 37-pin connector. The adapter cable and two interface attachments are also shown in Figure 5-1. ASM-MN-214 Card Cage 5-1 Chapter 5 Card-Cage Version ASM-20 Installation and Operation Manual Figure 5-1.

ASM-20/R Front Panel ASM-20/R Card Version 5-3 ASM-20 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 5 Card-Cage Version 5.3 Power Supply Power is supplied to the ASM-20/R card from the ASM-MN-214 power supply via the chassis. Each ASM-20/R card has two fuses, which protect the entire system against power failure resulting from a short circuit in one card. The ASM-MN-214 card cage can accept both AC or DC power supplies. LED indicators located on the ASM-MN-214 front panel (see Figure 5-3) show activity when the power supply is connected to the mains plug. The power supply supports the full card cage with any combination of cards. AC Supply (100, 115 or 230 VAC) The AC power supply of the ASM-MN-214 is 100, 115 or 230 VAC, ±10%, 47 to 63 Hz. DC Supply (-48 VDC) The DC power supply is -36 to -72 VDC. It uses a DC/DC converter module to provide the power required for the cards. Power Supply with Redundancy This special ordering option is equipped with two separate power supplies, operating together and sharing the load of the whole card cage. If either of the power supplies fails, the other one will continue to supply power to the full card cage. Two LED indicators show activity of each power supply.

A.1 Description The IR-ETH is an interface module for RAD modems, used for converting the Ethernet (10BaseT or 10Base2) electrical levels to the modem TTL levels. It also converts the Ethernet protocol to HDLC to enable long distance transmission and avoid the Ethernet collision limitation. The IR-ETH includes an internal, self-learning Ethernet bridge, which enables a high performance link between two Ethernet segments at a low transmission rate. The low-speed HDLC transmission is sent over the link using the modem modulation technique. It is converted back to an Ethernet signal at the remote modem. Figure A-1 shows a typical application using an Ethernet interface bridge. Each modem is connected to an Ethernet network via the Ethernet Interface bridge.
