MINIATURE 2-CHANNEL STATISTICAL MULTIPLEXOR

Table A-1. Main (Composite) Channel Connector.

CCITT

EIA Pin

Signal Name

Description

V.24

RS-

Circuit 232C
Number Line

108

CD 20

Data Terminal Ready

Remains positive for a period of 20

seconds then drops to a negative level

for approximately 1 second and returns

to the positive level for another 20

seconds continuously until

synchronization with the remote Mux is

established

140

21

Loop 3 Test Command Control signal from Mux to modem.

Positive level commands the attached

modem to send a remote loopback

command to the remote modem. If the

attached modem uses pin 21 as a signl

quality indication output, set pin 21 to

OFF, disabling this function (refer to

Section 4.3

)

A.2 Sub-Channel Interface

Multiplexor sub-channel interfaces are configured as asynchronous DCE RS-232
interfaces. The sub-channel connectors have RJ-45 sockets. Pin allocations are
listed in Table A-2.
