SDC Pre-Operation Notes

This section contains important information for using the 326XFAST-SDC Modem in SDC operating mode. Read this section before configuring the unit.

Operational Requirements

326XFAST-SDC modems require framed HDLC/SDLC-like data. NOTE: BER tests do not operate in an SDC environment because the data is not framed.

326XFAST-SDC modems support an NRZ or NRZI data encoding method. Refer to the DTE documentation for information on the data encoding method

the DTE supports. (Refer to Appendix A, Data Form [AT*DF] option, for details on NRZ/NRZI data encoding methods.)

Optimizing Network Performance

The 326XFAST-SDC modem provides front panel displays of RX/TX Throughput and Link Utilization. Higher values indicate more efficient utilization; lower values indicate less efficient usage. These values are affected by the attached DTE and protocol characteristics—frame size, window size, and DTE rate selected.

(Refer to Chapter 1 of the326X Series Modem Reference Guide for a description of how to use the RX/TX Throughput and Link Utilization displays.)

Telenetics recommends the following to maximize efficiency:

If your application is operating in a windowed protocol environment, set the window sizes to greater than 1 to improve performance. Recall that windowing refers to the number of packets sent before an acknowledgment is required.

To improve network performance, adjust frame sizes. The optimum frame size for most applications is between 128 and 1024 bytes. Experiment with window and frame sizes for maximum performance.

If link utilization is low, raise the DTE rate. Low link utilization typically implies that the DTE equipment is the bottleneck in data transmission.
