DESCRIPTION
The 16-Port Nx8-MUX is
a modular TDM Multiplexer designed to support up to sixteen sub-channel
ports from 1200bps to 64Kbps in both Sync and Async formats. The
unit is supplied with a variable composite port rate from 8Kbps
to 128Kbps in 8k increments for maximum flexibility. The composite
port data interface is software selectable for RS-232, RS-530, V.35,
RS-422/449 or X.21.
The sub-channel ports may be individually configured to support
flow control of RTS to DCD on a port by port basis or no flow control.
The ports also support individual RTS to CTS delays and external
TXC timing for DCE to DCE crossover. The data interfaces are RS-232
on 16 ports. Four of the user ports are software selectable for
RS-232, RS-530, V.35, RS-422/449 or X.21.
The Nx8-MUX derives its timing from the external DCE attached to
the composite port. Alternately, timing may be sourced by the Nx8-MUX
in a direct cabled pair of multiplexers.
The Nx8-MUX utilizes four, 4-port interface cards, a main processor
card and a power supply card. This modular design facilitates future
upgrades and allows the user to add user ports in 4-port increments.
All cards are front load.
The management port allows local and remote configuration commands.
Integral software design features allow configuration of a sub-channel
without disrupting existing sub-channels. Network management features
include channel and composite loop backs, and link down error reporting.
All port parameters are set with an async terminal connected to
the configuration port. Setup procedures are menu driven and all
parameters are stored in memory that supports power outages.
The Nx8-MUX has an internal power supply and supports voltages of
85-264 VAC. The unit is 3-U high and is standalone or 19" rackmount.
The factory warranty is 3 years.
