Leased Line Connections

The MT202TD modem operates on leased lines and may be configured in two ways: two-wire or four-wire. In a leased-line application, the line is continuously connected to the modem. In two-wire leased-line applications, only one modem may transmit at a time (this is known as half- duplex). In a four-wire configuration, one pair of wires should connect to the transmitter of the local modem and the receiver of the remote modem. The other pair of wires should connect to the remote modem’s transmitter.
