TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION 

This section provides an overall general description of the hardware elements of the STARMUX III 
DIGITAL LINK. This information, which includes block diagrams, board descriptions, chassis photos, 
component callouts, and wiring diagrams, can be useful for troubleshooting purposes and installing 
optional equipment.

The main hardware 

elements in the 2000 Digital Telemetry Link include the following components and circuit boards: 

 

Sea Cable Interface 

The Sea Cable Interface consists of the Sea Cable connector (P2 
on rear panel of STARMUX III) and a common mode choke. The 
common mode  choke  is  connected  in  series  between  the  FSIU 
(J6) and the Sea Connector on the rear panel (P2).    

12 VDC Power Supply 

The  12  VDC  Power  Supply  (PS2)  receives  AC  power  from  the 
Power Entry module to ge12 VDC which is used to power 
the ADSL Modem. 

375 VDC Power Supply 

The  375  VDC  Power  Supply  (PS1)  receives  AC  power  from  the 
Power Entry module to ge375 VDC. The 375 VDC Power 
is output to the FSIU. The PS1 Power Supply also provides a 24 
VDC  power  output  to  power  the  digital  and  analog  circuits 
located within the FSIU. 

Power Entry 

The Power Entry module filters the AC power and connects it to 
the  +12  and  375  VDC  Power  Supply  through  the  front  panel 
power switch. 

ADSL Modem 

The  ADSL  Modem  board  converts  the  uplink  data  ADSL  signals 
received from the tow vehicle and input on the ADSL connector 
from the FSIU into Ethernet 10/100/1000BaseT signals which are 
output to the 4200/2000 Topside Processor. Similarly, the ADSL 
Modem 

board 

converts 

the 

downlink 

Ethernet 

10/100/1000BaseT based command signals from the 4200/2000 
Topside  Processor  into  the  ADSL  downlink  command  signals 
which  are  output  on  the  ADSL  connector  to  the  FSIU  for 
transmission  to  the  tow  vehicle  thru  the  Sea  Cable  Interface 
(FSIC)  .  The  ADSL  Modem  also  provides  the  status  for  power
