2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Model 1008 High Speed, Multipoint, DB-9 Short Range
Modem
provides exceptional versatility in an ultra-miniature package.
Requiring no AC power or batteries for operation, the Model 1008
supports asynchronous EIA/TIA-574 data rates to 115.2 Kbps over one
or two unconditioned twisted pair. Distances up to 15.0 miles are
attainable at lower data rates (1.2 Kbps, 19 AWG twisted pair).
The Model 1008 can handle up to 50 terminal drops in a multipoint
polling environment. For RS-485 and serial printer applications
requiring hardware handshaking, the Model 1008 passes one control
signal in each direction. The Model 1008 may be configured for high or
low impedance, carrier may be set to “constantly on” or “controlled by
RTS”, and the unit can operate with or without “echo”. RTS/CTS delay
may be set for “no delay” or 8 mS.
Options for twisted pair connection include terminal blocks with
strain relief, RJ-11, RJ-45 and dual modular connectors for daisy
chaining. Silicon Avalanche Diodes provide 600 watts per wire of
protection against harmful data line transient surges.
