Others

IBS & Closed Net plus ESC facilities as before installation of IDR option,

 

but now on ESC port on IDR card not shared ESC/Aux port of base unit.

Aux Port

RS232 or RS422 (software selected). Provides Clock and Data lines.

IDR

Provides 32 or 64 kbps access in place of one or both Audio ESC

 

channels.

IBS

INTELSAT low rate ESC mode as previously but now via Aux port on IDR

 

card not shared ESC/Aux port of base unit. IDR option also adds sync

 

IBS mode, configurable to use between 1/32nd and 21/32nd of the IBS

 

overhead providing a full sync Aux port at between 0.2% and 4.3% of

 

main data rate.

 

Aux port provides satellite timing information for P1500 Slave Frequency

 

Standard when not configured for Aux data access.

P1348 Emulation

The IDR Option includes the facility to emulate the more common modes

 

of our popular P1348 / P1448 voice / data mux cards which are used

 

extensively in SNG applications. It uses the IDR audio ESC ports for the

 

audio interfaces and can generate a 64 kbps carrier consisting solely of

 

two 32kbps ADPCM encoded audio channels, or a 128 kbps carrier

 

comprising the two audio channels plus 64 kbps data from the main

 

interface. This is compatible with a P400 Series modem fitted with P1448

 

card or a P230 Modem with a P1348 card, alternatively Drop/Insert can

 

be used at the distant end to place the two 32kbps ADPCM audio

 

channels in one timeslot and the 64 kbps data in another.

 

 

[PRBS Tester Feature]

BER Channel

PRBS tester may operate through either main traffic, ESC data, or AUX

 

data channels (main traffic channel not available in Closed Net, ie no

 

overhead mode). Use of ESC & AUX data channels allow continuous

 

real traffic BER performance monitoring on links with overhead.

Test Patterns

2047, 215-1, 220-1, compatible with common stand alone BER testers.

Results

Display of error count & average BER

Autolog

Automatic logging of average and 1 minute worst case BER at user

 

specified intervals (1 min - 24 hours)

 

 

[Monitor/AGC Option]

Facilities Provided

Demodulator Rx carrier signal monitoring & level display (±5dB)

 

0 -10 V Analog output (Signal level, Eb/No or Rx offset frequency)

 

Buffered constellation monitor port

 

Sounder for audible feedback from keyboard
