MODEM

General Characteristics Principle of Operation

Introduction The DM-15-A-6U modem is a single card

The DM-15-A-6U is designed for data
conversion over Voice Frequency (VF)
circuits and copper cable pairs for data
rates at a fixed Baud rate of 0-1200 Baud
asynchronous operation.
Features
2 and 4 wire operation
DM-15-A-6U configured in Bell 202T
mode. Operates as a Point-to-Point
and Multi-Drop configuration (party
line).
Configurable by on-board switch and
jumper settings
19” rack mounted modem (6U)
modem used in conjunction with Microsol’s Contact:
Inc. 19” Front or Rear Mount Rack Assembly.
sales@microsol.com
The modem operates in Bell 202T mode using
Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) and is designed www.microsol.com
for asynchronous of bit oriented data
operations at 1200 baud.
The modem provides half-duplex
communication on 2-wire private line circuits
or full-duplex communication on 4-wire
private line circuits.
The I/O rear terminations provide connectivity
to the DC power supply, 1 x RS232 DCE and
1 x VF communication channels.
The configuration of the modem cards is done No part of this document
via switch and jumper settings. should be reproduced
without the prior
approval of Microsol

Front Panel Information

LEDs:
TX – Transmit Data, On when data is transmitted from modem
RX – Receive Data, On when data is received from modem
RTS – Request to Send, On when RTS line is high (ON)
CTS – Clear to Send, On when CTS line is high (ON)
CD – Carrier Detect, On when a carrier is detected by modem
PWR – On when power is applied to modem

Pushbutton:
Normal – Normal operation of modem
Loopback – Analog loopback of VF channel (Transmit/Receive Pair Internally connected at RJ11)
LOOPBACK Test:
1. Connect modem serial connection to PC Com Port using a straight through modem cable.
2. Run HyperTerminal with the following parameters:
a. Baud Rate: 1200
b. Data Bits: 8
c. Parity: None
d. Stop Bits: 1
e. Flow Control: Hardware
3. Push in Loopback switch and type letters on keyboard to verify modem operation

Connections:
