module communications and test functions.
You can use the interface labeled ”I/A”, for instance, to connect a basic error rate (BER) tester or a protocol analyzer. In addition to BER tests, you can conduct protocol simulation, block error rate (BLER) tests, or
The other test interface, labeled “Monitor,“ enables you to connect a
Modules for the system
For your various interface
requirements, we offer a number of modular cards (also called circuit cards) that can be installed in a PSSII chassis. Each card is a single switchable circuit between your data terminal equipment (DTE) and data communications equipment (DCE), and feature
The cards are equipped with three ports that link to A, B, and
Common paths. These paths connect to the equipment cables attached in at the chassis’ rear. You can switch paths, for instance, when you need to reroute a circuit from an attached device that has failed to a device or circuit that’s operational. To switch, press a button on the mounted card. LEDs inform you of your selected switch position.
Each card has four manual patch cavities. Three of these provide intrusive access to the A, B, and Common (modem) sides of the switchable circuit. The fourth cavity provides bridged (non- intrusive) access to the Common (modem) side.
With up to nine alarm options, each
to six programmable alarms.
If you don’t require patching capabilities but want economical A/B switching plus transfer speeds of 10 Mbps! within your PSSII, order Universal Serial Cards

With its latching relay feature, the Universal Serial Card forwards all traffic in the event of a power failure and, when used as a copper path, operates independent of speed and protocol. And there’s no complicated programming!
As with the Front Interface Cards, the Universal Serial Cards install in the front of the PSSII chassis and can even be mounted alongside the Front Interface Cards.
In a daisychain configuration, you can put up to 16 Front Interface or Universal Serial Cards in each slave chassis. The master chassis can be populated with up to 16 of these cards plus one Terminal Display Card.
Management cards
For managing the chassis, you’ll need either a Management Control Card or a Terminal Display Card.
The Management Control Card (SM902C or SM904C) provides
