2.3 Applications
The Local Mux-6 is used mainly for point-to-point configurations where
distances of up to several kilometers are involved. A typical application is
demonstrated in
Figure 2-1
, where a cluster of terminals is connected to a
host computer through a single link. Different configurations are available
using the 4-wire transmission media. The maximum data rate in a point-to-
point configuration is 19.2 kbps for 12 data subchannels, 6 data subchannels,
or 6 data and 6 control subchannels.
