7.3 Short-haul Modem (SHM)

The Short-haul modem is a compact interface device that can be
used  to  transmit  and  receive  serial  data  over  relatively  long
distances  that  are  not  achievable  using  RS232  interface.  The
modem unit plugs directly in to the COM port on an asynchronous
device.

SHM is a non-powered line driver with a 1500VAC lightning surge
protection  and  noise  rejection.  The  unit  shown  in  the  figure  is
switch selectable and operates using 4 wires on screw terminals
or  RJ11  connector.  For  using  with  Dynamet  5  modem  is
connected in point-point 4-wire Full-duplex mode where only software handshake is applicable.
