Section 1 – Introduction
This manual describes the setup and installation procedures for the Intraplex DS-64NC wideband
synchronous data module. Experienced users may go directly to the tables in Section 2 for
configuration data. The specific multiplexer operation manuals contain additional information about
using channel modules in Intraplex multiplexers.
The DS-64NC module is a synchronous data channel module that can operate at a selectable data
rate. The rate can be any multiple of 8 kbps, with a maximum limit that depends on the multiplexer
type. Ranges are from 8 kbps to
●
1.536 Mbps in T1 multiplexers and T1-based variable rate multiplexers.
● 1.984 Mbps in 2 MB multiplexers.
● 2.040 Mbps in 2 MB-based variable rate multiplexers.
Features include
●
User-selectable data rate.
● Fully independent send and receive timing (at the same nominal rate in both directions).
● Timing output to allow synchronization of the multiplexer to the DS-64NC module’s receive clock
signal.
● One-way or full-duplex operation.
● Choice of RS-449 or V.35 interface.
● Local and remote loopbacks.
● Clear channel operation for AMI networks.
● A test pattern generator and error detector for one-way or loopback testing.
● Contiguous or alternating time slot assignment.
● 2 MB multiplexers only: Time slot 16 can be skipped for systems using CAS signaling.
● Remote control configuration and status reporting.
● Selectable transmit/receive direction.
● Optional deep buffers for plesiochronous operation.
