4.1.1 LCD Front Panel Display

The front panel display is a 2 line by 16-character LCD display. The display is lighted and the brightness can be set to increase when the front panel is currently in use. The LCD display automatically dims after a period of inactivity. The display has two distinct areas showing current information. The upper area shows the current parameter being monitored, such as ‘Frequency’ or ‘Data Rate’. The lower line shows the current value of that parameter. The LCD display is a single entry window into the large matrix of parameters that can be monitored and set from the Front Panel.

4.1.2 Cursor Control Arrow Keys

Aset of ‘Arrow’ or ‘Cursor’ keys (), (), (), (), is used to navigate the parameter currently being monitored or controlled. Table 4-2 describes the functions available at the Front Panel.

4.1.3 Numeric Keypad

A 10 Key Numeric Keypad with 2 additional keys for the ‘Enter’ and ‘Clear’ function allows the entry of data into the system. Table 4-2 describes the functions available at the Front Panel.

DMD15, DMD15L specifications

The Paradyne DMD15L and DMD15 are advanced digital modems designed to enhance communication in a variety of networking environments. As part of Paradyne's robust portfolio of networking solutions, these devices are engineered to deliver reliable and efficient data transmission over both copper and fiber optic connections.

One of the main features of the DMD15L and DMD15 is their capability to support Multiple Protocol Data Units (MPDUs), which enables them to handle a diverse range of network protocols seamlessly. This flexibility makes them suitable for different applications, from industrial automation to telecommunications.

These modems utilize advanced modulation techniques, such as Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), to maximize data throughput while maintaining signal integrity. This ensures that users benefit from high-speed connections, even in challenging signal environments. Furthermore, the DMD15 series incorporates Error Correction Codes (ECC) that enhance data reliability, effectively reducing packet loss and ensuring data coherence during transmission.

The DMD15L is particularly notable for its long-range capabilities, making it a go-to solution for users requiring extended distances without compromising data quality. It features built-in Adaptive Equalization, which automatically adjusts signal levels to optimize performance over varying transmission distances. This technology is crucial in maintaining consistent high-speed connectivity, especially in environments with variable conditions.

Both models are equipped with user-friendly interfaces that facilitate configuration and management. They support SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for real-time network monitoring, allowing administrators to track performance metrics and identify potential issues before they impact users. The devices also include LED indicators for quick status checks, ensuring that users have immediate visibility of operational conditions.

In terms of physical characteristics, the DMD15 and DMD15L are designed for durability and ease of installation. They come in a compact form factor, making them suitable for deployment in constrained spaces. Additionally, their robust casing is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.

Overall, the Paradyne DMD15L and DMD15 are high-performance modems that combine versatile technologies, reliability, and user-friendly features. They are excellent choices for organizations looking to enhance their communication capabilities and ensure robust data transmission across diverse networks. With their advanced functionalities and adaptability, these modems stand out as key components in modern network infrastructure.
