Asynchronous Overhead with AUPC is a closed network application that gives the user
the ability to communicate from the hub site to the remote site through the added
overhead. The user can use the AUPC feature that remotely controls the remote modem’s
power level, according to parameters programmed by the user. The user can also
remotely monitor and control the remote modem by sending remote commands over the
link via the overhead. This can be done by a local terminal or Monitor and Control
system. Refer to Section A.1.4 for more information on the Asynchronous interface with
AUPC.

EFD Closed Network Operation
The modem does not require any additional hardware installed to operate in EFD Closed
Network configuration. The basic modem configuration, which includes the 25-pin D
Data I/O connector, supports V.35, EIA-422, and EIA-232 data with no overhead. The
Comtech EF Data closed network configuration allows the SLM-3650 to be compatible
with any Comtech EF Data closed network application.
The modem can be compatible with other closed network applications by selecting
different modulator and demodulator types. Fairchild and Comstream compatible closed
network systems can be supported with the modem. When selecting these modulator and
demodulator types, the modem becomes compatible with Fairchild or Comstream closed
network modems that may be at the distant end of the link.
The modem can also support SDM-51 receive-only Space Link Remote Controlled
(SLRC) modems. These receive-only modems are used in closed network applications
where a small amount of overhead is used for monitor and control functions by the
transmitting modem. The modem would become a transmit-only modem when the SDM-
51 compatible modulator type was selected.
To operate the modem in the SDM-51 compatible configuration, the modem does not
require any additional hardware installed. The 25-pin D Data I/O connector supports
either EIA-422 or EIA-232 data that is used in the SDM-51, SDM-52, or SDR-54
receive-only modems. Refer to Table 3-9 for EFD Closed Network parameter settings.
