278Chapter 11: Peripheral device cabling interface

Modems

Modems are used to connect peripheral devices (terminals and printers) to the IPE Module or the Application Module over long distances. Modems are always DCE.

Limited-distance modem

If a peripheral device is to be installed more than 15 m (50 ft) away from the IPE Module or the Application Module, you will need to use a self- powered limited-distance modem. The added range depends on the modem you obtain. Limited-distance modems are recommended for use inside buildings only. Nortel neither supplies nor recommends a particular make or model of modem for this purpose. If diagnostic activities indicate that problems exist with the modem, Nortel support personnel will recommend that the customer call in service representatives for the modem equipment.

The following standards should be used when selecting a limited-distance modem:

¥9600 bps

¥8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
