Sync Data Channel

Channel Device not communicating with DataTalker; composite link up with CD,, CTS, XMT, RCV and RD LEDs on

Incorrect channel parameter settings

Channel device incorrectly cabled

Incorrect Data Type

Incorrect Clocking

1.Verify configuration of data port (see Data Port Configuration in Table 7-10).

2.Call Tech Support for assistance (see Chapter 8).

1.See cabling diagrams in Appendix B and C on both DataTalker and data channel device.

2.Call Tech Support for assistance (see Chapter 8).

1.Verify that sync device uses HDLC or SLDC protocol, NRZ encoding, and operates in full duplex.

1.If sync device expects clock to come from DataTalker on pins 15 and 17, set DataTalker sync data channel to internal clocking and set speed.

2.If sync device provides click to DataTalker on pin 24, confiugre sync data channel for external clocking.
