1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL The RSD-20, High Speed Digital Sharing Device, enables up to four high speed modems, terminals or controllers to share a master modem, a multiplexer or a computer port in a multipoint environment. The RSD-20 is compatible with synchronous equipment at data rates of 48, 56, or 64 kbps, with V.35 or X.21 interface. 1.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The main channel transmits information to all sub-channels in parallel. Sub-channels contend to transmit to the main channel by act

INSTALLATION RSD-20 OPERATOR'S MANUAL 2.4.2 Rear Panel Six connectors are located on the rear panel of the RSD-20, consisting of five channel connectors (four for the sub-channels and one for the main channel) and one 3-pin power connector, which also includes the fuse holder. The five channel connectors are 34-pin connectors for the V.35 interface or 15-pin, D-type for the X.21 interface. The ON/OFF power switch and the 110/220 VAC selection switch are located also on the rear panel (see Figure

INSTALLATION RSD-20 OPERATOR'S MANUAL 2.5.1.4 External Clock for more than one Sub-channel This option enables connection of more than one sub-channel to the line from the P.T.T. service. Generally, the P.T.T. modems supply clock to every line – i.e. the P.T.T. has to provide the clock. Since the modems are all from the same service, the clocks are synchronized. The external buffer will compensate for phase differences between the clocks received from the sub-channels. However, the external buff

The DTEs attached to the main and sub-channels are synchronized to the RSD’sclock;the modems attached to the sub-channels are synchronized to their own clock; and the internal buffer compensates for the phase difference betwe
