SHM-B ASYNC 2. Introduction The Short-Haul Modem Model B Async (SHM-B Async) is an asynchronous full-duplex 4-wire line driver/receiver which allows two EIA-232 devices to communicate at distances of up to 4 miles and at data speeds of up to 19,200 bps. In addition to the transmitter and receiver circuits, the SHM-B Async includes EIA-232 control line interfaces, status monitor LEDs, and a loopback switch. The SHM-B is available in both a standalone version (ME800A) and a rackmount version (ME80

SHM-B ASYNC 3. Installation Installation involves three basic steps: four-wire connections; EIA-232 connection; switch settings. 3.1 Four-Wire Connections Figure 1 shows the location of the terminal block on the circuit board. Refer to Figure 2 to make the proper connections between two SHM-B units. NOTE: Transmit + (TX+) on one modem is wired to Receive + (RX+) on the other modem; Transmit - (TX-) is wired to Receive - (RX-). A ground connection is optional. 1. If the unit is assembled, separat

Refer to your equipment’s installation manual if you need information on the exact EIA-232 signals required for your equipment. Often, it is best to use only the Transmit Data (TD), Receive Data (RD), and ground lines if your equipment does not require the use of the control

SHM-B ASYNC 3.4 Flow Control The SHM-B uses a clever, yet simple way to allow this unit to work with a broad line of equipment. STANDARD EIA-232C HANDSHAKING (RTS/DTR CONTROL JUMPER IN EN POSITION) The individual SHM-B modems force their own DTR, RTS, CTS, and DSR control lines HIGH (>+3V) when: • The twisted-pair wires are installed correctly. • Power is applied to both modems. • No computer devices are attached to the modems. This forces DCD HIGH on the remote modem; thus, the remote modem kno

SHM-B ASYNC Because DTR, DSR, RTS, and CTS are tied together internally, dropping any one of these four signals to a negative state will also drop DCD on the remote side to a negative state. DCD will also go LOW if the remote SHM-B is powered down, or if the twisted-pair wire is broken. X-ON/X-OFF MODE (RTS/DTR CONTROL JUMPER IN DIS POSITION) If X-ON/X-OFF characters are used for handshaking control, rather than hardware logic levels, move the RTS/DTR control jumper to the DIS position.

Operation After completing the wiring and configuration procedure, slide the printed circuit card back into the case while pulling the data and power cables through the holes in the back panel. The front panel will snap into the front of the case when the printed circuit board has been completely pushed to the back of the case. Connect the SHM-B to your equipment, then plug the wall transformer into its power source. Check the SHM- B operation at both ends of the loop by pressing

SHM-B ASYNC When in loopback mode, the switch button indicator will appear to the sender. If a CRT terminal is connected to the SHM-B, typing characters on the keyboard should result in the same characters appearing on the CRT screen. If no characters appear, check your EIA-232 connections and the setting of S1. See Figure 3 for an illustration of the loopback mode. The TD and RD LEDs on the front panel of your SHM-B indicate the status of the SHM-B transmitter and receiver, respectively. Green

SHM-B ASYNC 5. Rackmount Installation The SHM-B Async Card is a rack mount unit (ME805-C) that installs in a standard 19-inch panel rack. (You can use the SHM-B Rack [ME810], which can hold up to 16 cards.) The SHM-B Async Card will occupy 5.25 inches of vertical rack space, and is 9 inches deep. To install the SHM-B Rack, first remove the acrylic front panel by pulling out the six plunger latches on the front of the panel, then pulling on opposite-side plungers to loosen and remove the panel.

Be certain that the circuit board has mated with the power pins on the SHM-B rack before applying force to fully seat the board; otherwise you may damage the board and power pins. When all boards have been wired and plugged into the rack, plug the wall transformer into its power source. You should be able to communicate as described in Chapter 4. W
