The

maximum data rate

is 100kbps (over good quality screened cable), but this rate is reduced as the connecting

cables extend beyond 10m. As an estimate, assume the maximum rate halves as the distance doubles (ie 50kbps to
20m, 25kbps to 40m etc). NOTE this is a synchronous RS232 interface if you need an asynchronous interface
please contact the factory

.

The

input clock/data phase

is selected automatically, reporting a `

Data Marginal

` warning whenever it

has to switch phase. If the modem reports Data Marginal frequently then this is not a modem fault but an
indication that you have a clocking problem external to the modem (ie changing clock/data phase, a
problem which would otherwise have caused untraceable data errors). With the Tx Clocking Set to

Ì¨

Ý´±½µ ×²

the `Data In` signal is checked against the `Clock In` signal. With the Tx Clocking Set to

×²¬»®²¿´

or

Î¨

the `Data In` signal is checked against the `In` Tx Clk Out` signal.

Note that although there are both 25-pin EIA530 pinout and 37 pin RS449 pinout connectors on the rear
panel, these are simply connected in parallel.

Do not use both connectors

at the same time. The

EIA530 connector is pin compatible with the standard 25-pin RS232 interface.

it is possible to configure the modem to raise an alarm if

either the `Sig Valid In` line (CA) or `Device (DTE) Ready In` line (CD) switch to the inactive state. It is
also possible to configure the Tx carrier to be switched on and off by the `Sig Valid In` line (CA) by
