ASM-10/8Installation and Operation Manual

 

 

ASM-10/8 communicates over lines in synchronous mode only. When set to the asynchronous mode, ASM-10/8 performs an asynchronous to synchronous conversion in compliance with ITU V.14 bis standard.

The unit has line protection circuits against lightning and power surges.

ASM-10/8 V.54 diagnostic capabilities include:

Local digital loopback (DIG), activated by the front-panel push button

Remote digital loopback (REM), activated by the front-panel push button or DTE interface signal, pin 21

Local analog loopback (ANA), activated by the front-panel push button or DTE interface signal, pin 18.

ASM-10/8 also operates in conjunction with the MCS-10 dual modem card of the MCS-12 Monitoring and Control System.

The ASM-10/8/R card is capable of sensing and indicating power failure on the remote ASM-10/8 standalone unit. When this feature is enabled, the RPF LED lights in case of a remote power failure.
