Operation
The following main modes of operation are supported:
ASYNC Overhead Interface with AUPC
SDM-100 Emulation
Custom SDM-650
Emulation
Drop & Insert (D&I)
SDM-6000 Emulation
EFD Closed Network
SDM-300 Emulation
IDR SDM-308

IBS SDM-309
Emulation
CDM Modem
The ASYNC/AUPC option allows for an additional overhead channel to be multiplexed
and demultiplexed from the data carrier.
The Custom mode of operation enables the programming of the modem for emulating
most proprietary modems.
Two mechanisms are provided for uplink power control within a closed network. One
method, which requires the optional ASYNC/AUPC interface card, is used for control
between two links to sustain sufficient transmit power to maintain a programmed E

at
both ends.
The second method is used for self-monitoring the carrier from the same uplink with the
local demodulator, requires no additional hardware, and is software-selectable. This
method is appropriate for applications such as paging networks, where the uplink is
transmitting to receive-only devices. The self-monitoring AUPC function is not available
when the ASYNC/AUPC interface option is installed.

channel unit, conforming to IESS-308, -309, -310, and –315 (Turbo only) emulation
specifications, provides overhead designated for an ESC.
