2.4FEATURE HIGHLIGHT

This list highlights some of the notable features about the P300 Series Modems:

All P300 Series Modems (ie base modem features)

Variable data rate in 1 bps steps with fast acquisition even at low data rates BPSK, QPSK, and Offset QPSK (OQPSK)

Viterbi FEC (to IESS 308/309), rate ½, 3/4 & 7/8 in BPSK, QPSK and OQPSK. 100Hz IF resolution

RS422, V.35, and RS232 DCE interface on both EIA 530 25 pin and RS449 37 pin connectors. Can accommodate Viterbi & Sequential FEC simultaneously

Built in 1-FOR-1 Redundancy Controller (requires only cables, passive IF splitter/combiner & second modem for complete 1:1 in just 2U)

0-99ms Doppler/plesiochronous buffer Full remote M&C

1000 event traffic log, with facility to continuously log circuit performance at regular intervals (logs average & worst case Eb/No and/or user BER)

`In The Rack` upload of revised internal software 25dB Tx IF level control in 0.1dB steps

Band limited IF input capable of operating with high composite power (ie IF input not `wide open` and affected by out of band signals)

1PPM internal frequency & clock reference, with external station clock input & options for higher stability internal references

CCITT & INTELSAT V.35 scramblers for closed network operation, with additional two modes for compatibility with FDC and Linkabit proprietary patterns.

Deferred alarm at user set service limits (individual Eb/No, BER & Buffer slip thresholds) Frequency locked clock loops (ie not phase locked) immune to clock hits caused by equipment such as routers

Comprehensive monitoring and status display, with explicit fault descriptions of most significant fault for Tx & Rx paths

P500 1-FOR-N Switch available allowing mixed interfaces within 1:N system

Supported by Alphawave CAM multi-product remote M&C system which can provide centralised log gathering on a PC (including logged circuit performance figures, eg Eb/No every 10 mins) Software includes two `User Variables` to accommodate custom user requirements (such as special alarm handling), allowing special user requested features to be added whilst still keeping common software

Clear display, intuitive menus with `Normal` selections & efficient user interface with full keyboard Tx or Rx paths may be selected as `Off`, muting appropriate alarms in Tx or Rx only applications UThree form `C` relays providing prompt Tx/Rx Traffic faults, as well as a prompt unit (equipment)
